The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for the Tweed River Breakwall. This is a point break that’s consistent, but the swells we’ve got coming are just not delivering. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We start off with nothing really on offer. The first few days are all poor surf conditions with tiny waves. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th have flat, weak 1ft to 1ft easterly swells, period around 9 seconds, and the energy is practically nothing (48 down to 28). Sunday the 6th sees a bit of a bump to 3ft on the afternoon, but it’s a short-period NNE windswell at 6 seconds with a cross-shore breeze, so it’s messy and weak.
The whole first week is a write-off. Monday the 7th has a 2ft easterly swell with a 4-second period – that’s just wind chop. The combined energy barely cracks 50 (26 to 50). There’s a tiny window on Wednesday the 9th morning where the wind goes glassy and the swell is 2ft from the SE at 9 seconds, but the energy is still weak (65) and the report says “surfable but very ordinary.” That’s a polite way of saying it’s not worth rushing out for.
Then things get bigger but not better. Thursday the 10th through to the 12th sees a jump in swell height, with a peak on Friday the 11th morning at 7ft from the SSE. The combined energy hits 904 – that’s moderate to strong energy – but the wind is cross-onshore at 16 mph, making it choppy and poor. That size is too big for beginners and would be a handful even for intermediates given the wind. It’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle session.
After that, the swell drops back down to 1ft to 3ft for the rest of the period. There are a few clean moments with offshore winds, like Tuesday the 15th morning and Wednesday the 16th morning, but the waves are tiny (1ft to 2ft) with weak energy (24 to 34). The last few days have some clean cross-off winds, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
Honestly, there’s no standout in this 16-day window. The best you could hope for is a marginal session on Wednesday the 9th morning if you’re desperate for a paddle, but it’s not worth the drive. Keep an eye on the longer range – forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this flat forever.
