The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you—this stretch of the Tweed River Breakwall is looking pretty grim for the next couple of weeks. There’s a long dry spell of poor surf conditions ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for any proper sessions.
For the first few days, from Thursday the 10th through to Tuesday the 15th, it’s a write-off. We’ve got a mix of big cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, lumpy cross-chop, and only small, weak swell. The wave energy is mostly in the low to moderate range (417 to 26), but it’s all messy. The swell tops out around 7 ft on Thursday afternoon, but with a 10-second period and cross-shore winds, it’s just a bumpy, blown-out mess. Nothing for us here.
Wednesday the 16th through to the morning of Tuesday the 22nd? Same story. More cross-onshore winds, choppy conditions, and barely any energy. The swell stays small, mostly under 3 ft, with periods as low as 4 seconds. The wind is a constant problem. A few spots show a clean wind state on the 23rd, but the swell is still tiny (3 ft) and weak. The whole period is a blank run for quality surf.
Now, there *is* a little glimmer. Thursday morning the 24th. The forecast shows a glassy, clean morning with light winds, a 4 ft SE swell at 10 seconds, and moderate wave energy (227). The water temp is around 70°, about average for the time of year. This is the only time in the whole 16-day window that you’d even consider paddling out. The Tweed River Breakwall is a consistent point break, so it can handle a bit of swell, but don’t expect a classic. The waves will be small and a bit short-period, so it’s more for a longboard or a funboard. Crowds are possible, so be ready for company.
After that, Friday the 25th and beyond? It’s back to fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy chop. The swell fades again. Honestly, the best advice is to wait for the next forecast update. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.
