The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty. I'm looking at the charts for the Tweed River Breakwall and I've got to level with you—it's a quiet stretch ahead. The forecast is pretty flat for the next week and a half, with wave energy staying low and the wind never really playing ball. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is about average for the time of year, so you won't need a thick rubber if you're just having a paddle.
The first sign of any real swell shows up on the morning of Friday the 11th of September. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SE, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is honking onshore from the SSE at 12 mph. The combined energy hits 515 (moderate to strong), but with that wind and chop, it's a messy, lumpy mess. Not one for the surfboard, but if you've got a kite, that setup might be worth a look.
Saturday the 12th of September sees the swell ease a touch to 6ft from the ESE, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is still strong at 418. The morning is the pick of the week, with a light NNE breeze at 6 mph, but it's still cross-onshore, so you're getting little wind ripples. The model calls it "marginal" at best, and with that size, it's only for the experienced crew. The afternoon gets messier again.
Sunday the 13th of September is similar: 6ft from the E, period 7 seconds, energy at 305. The morning has a light cross-shore from the N, but it's still not clean. Again, marginal and only for the confident surfer.
After that, the swell drops and the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore right through to the end of the 16-day window. The energy drops below 100 by the 16th, and the waves are tiny. There's no standout session here, mates. The whole period is a bit of a write-up for surf.
If you're really keen, the best chance is the morning of Saturday the 12th of September, when the swell is at its biggest and the wind is lightest. But with the cross-onshore wind and lumpy conditions, it's a tough call.
Stay patient, hope the forecasts change, because it can't stay this poor forever.
Rusty.
