The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s size it up.
Only one break in the mix: the Tweed River Breakwall, and it’s a quiet outlook. For the next week and a half, the surf is barely worth talking about. The water’s sitting around 71°, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
Monday the 14th starts off with a tiny 2ft easterly swell and a cross-onshore breeze – total washout. Tuesday the 15th is flat and choppy. Wednesday the 16th picks up a bit, hitting 6ft in the afternoon, but the wind is cross-shore and the shape is poor. The wave energy ticks up to 373, which is moderate, but it’s still messy. That same dirty pattern – cross-shore winds, small short-period swell – sticks around through Monday the 21st.
The one bright spot is Wednesday the 24th. That morning shows a 6ft easterly swell with an 8-second period, and the energy jumps to 621 – that’s good power. Wind is light and cross-shore, so it could scrub up alright. Being a point break, even that average period might wrap in decent. Still, it’s marginal and the tide could mess with the shape.
After that, we’re back to the same old story: onshore or cross-shore wind, tiny inconsistent swell, and nothing clean through to the end of the month. The Breakwall is a consistent spot, but this stretch is a long, flat, windy dud. If you’re really keen, the 24th morning is your only real chance, but keep your hopes in check.
Rusty.
