The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s chat about the Tweed River Breakwall for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a quiet start. Nothin’ worth chasin’ until Saturday the 22nd. We’re lookin’ at a couple days of flatness and poor conditions until then.
Saturday the 22nd morning, the swell shows up at 2ft from the ENE with a 7-second period. Wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNW, so it’s clean. The combined energy is weak at 58. It’s surfable but real ordinary—ankle to waist-high and soft. Saturday afternoon is the same. Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th are poor with cross-onshore winds.
Tuesday the 25th has a little more energy at 124, but the swell is still only 3ft from the E at 8 seconds, and it’s cross-shore. Water temp is pretty average for this time of year. Wednesday the 26th gives us our first decent window. Swell is 3ft from the ENE, 8-second period, with offshore winds from the W in the afternoon. Clean and rideable. Energy is moderate at 127. Not a standout, but you could scratch out a session on a longboard.
Thursday the 27th bumps up to 4ft from the E, but the wind turns cross-onshore from the SE, and energy hits 214. Marginal, with tide issues.
Friday the 28th morning is clean again: 3ft from the E, 8-second period, glassy with a slight breeze from the N. Energy is 139. Surfable, but still nothing special.
The weekend of the 29th and 30th has some promise. Saturday the 29th is blown out. But Sunday the 30th morning is the real standout. Swell jumps to 5ft from the ENE with a short 7-second period. With the short period, it’ll be a bit messy at the point, but cross-offshore wind from the SW keeps it clean. Energy is a solid 383. This is the best bet for head-high waves, though it’s only for intermediates. Crowds are often here, so expect company. Sunday afternoon drops to 4ft with a 6-second period and stronger cross-offshore wind—still clean but less power.
From Monday the 31st into September, it fades. Monday morning has 4ft from the ENE, clean cross-offshore winds, but energy drops to 118. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is glassy with 3ft from the E and a 9-second period—smooth and small. Energy is 170. After that, it’s mostly cross-onshore and poor. Thursday the 3rd of September has a big energy spike to 477 with a 4ft E swell and an 11-second period, but cross-onshore winds make it choppy. That one’s more for the kiteboarders.
So, the whole run is pretty flat. Sunday the 30th of August morning is the only real highlight. Don’t expect much else.
Rusty.
