The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead for the Tweed. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy, so don’t get your hopes up for anything special. We’ve got a solid 16-day window, but the first proper surfable moment doesn’t show up until Saturday the 29th of August, and even then it’s barely a whisper.

Let’s start with the overall pattern. The wave energy is weak for most of the period, with the combined swell energy hovering in the low two-digit to low three-digit range, like 118 to 296, which is moderate at best, but mostly just weak and disappointing. The wind is the real killer here – it’s almost always cross or cross-on, and often howling, so the paddle out will be a chore and the waves will be chopped up.

The only real standout, and I mean the *only* one worth a mention, is the Saturday morning of the 29th of August. At Tweed River Breakwall, we’ve got a tiny 2ft east swell, but the wind swings light SSW, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The wave energy is weak (98), but for this spot, that little window of clean conditions is the best we’ll get. It’s a consistent point break, so there’ll be something to ride, and the water temperature is about average for the time of year. Don’t expect barrels, but it’ll be surfable and ordinary – just a chance to get wet without getting thrashed.

After that, it’s back to the grind. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st of August see the swell bump up a bit, with the combined energy hitting 296 on Monday morning, but the wind is howling from the south at 16 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. It’s just not worth the paddle. The rest of the first week and into the second week is a sad story of tiny swells and onshore winds, with the odd clean morning on the 2nd and 3rd of September, but the swell is only 2ft to 2ft – barely enough to push you down the line.

For the second week, things don’t get any better. The 6th of September afternoon has a little 2ft east swell with a light offshore from the west, giving a clean surface, but it’s tiny. The 9th of September afternoon actually shows a bigger 5ft swell, but it’s a short-period 5-second wind swell from the SE, and with onshore wind, it’ll be a washing machine. Too messy for any real fun.

Honestly, mate, if you’re not itching to paddle on that Saturday morning, the whole 16-day outlook is a write-off. The Tweed is a consistent point, but without any decent swell and clean wind, it’s just not happening. This is one of those stretches where you’re better off waiting for the next forecast. You might get a kite surfer out on the bigger, windier days, but for a paddle, it’s a hard pass.

Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tweed River Breakwall may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
