The Lowdown

Alright crew, Rusty here checkin' in. Gotta be honest, the outlook for the Tweed River Breakwall is a quiet one. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of small, messy surf with not much to get the heart pumpin’. Water temp is a normal 69°, par for the course around here.

Kickin' off Friday the 28th of August, waves are tiny, about 2ft from the ENE with an 8-second period. Wind’s a light cross-shore, but the energy is weak (84) and the surf is just poor. Not worth wettin' a suit. That afternoon gets even smaller and choppier with a cross-onshore breeze. Leave the board at home.

Saturday the 29th shows a little more size in the mornin' – about 4ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and energy jumps to a moderate 397. Still a cross-shore wind, though, and it's called marginal. Biggest we see for a while, but it ain't clean. The afternoon fizzles right out.

From Sunday the 30th all the way to Friday the 11th of September, it's a long, flat, frustrating stretch. Most days show swell under 3ft, periods all over the place, winds mostly cross or cross-onshore. A couple clean moments – the mornin' of Wednesday the 2nd of September has a clean little 2ft from the east with a light cross-offshore breeze, and Thursday the 3rd mornin' is clean too, but it's only 1ft. These are tiny, rideable but ordinary. Not standouts.

The only real blip is Monday the 7th of September in the afternoon. We get a clean 3ft from the SE, 10-second period, cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, and energy is a moderate 210. It's the most promising window, but even then it's described as marginal. That makes it the pick, but it's still small. For the experts, there's nothin' over 8ft. For beginners, nothin' over 5ft ever really shows, so it's friendly if you've got a log and no expectations.

Honestly, there's no true standout session. The best bet is that Monday 7th afternoon, but that's a stretch. The rest is a whole lotta nothin'. The break is usually consistent, so a run this poor is a bit odd – it won't stay this flat forever. But for now, if you're desperate, you might snag a few ankle-biters on a clean day. Otherwise, save the wax.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Tweed River Breakwall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
