Let's get into it, pardner.

Well, the Tweed River Breakwall is the only game in town for this stretch, and the outlook is rough for the first week or so. Water temp is a normal 71°F for this season, no surprises there.

Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th are total washouts. A stiff southerly wind is making a mess of a 6ft SE swell, all lumpy and cross-chop. Just stay home.

Wednesday the 8th morning is where the big boys come out. We’ve got an 12ft SSE swell rolling in, with a period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is 3399 (moderate to strong), so there’s plenty of grunt. But with a moderate cross-shore wind, this is expert territory only. The afternoon drops to 10ft, still huge.

Your best bet for a decent session is Thursday the 9th morning. Swell is a much friendlier 5ft from the SE, with a clean cross-off breeze from the SSW at 12 mph. The period is a nice 11 seconds, so you’ll get some rideable lines off the point.

Then the well runs dry. Friday the 10th afternoon sees a bump to 7ft, but it’s cross-shore and choppy. From Saturday the 11th onward, it’s flat city. We’re talking knee-high slop at best. There’s a few glassy mornings on the 14th and 15th, but with swell barely pushing 0.7ft, there’s nothing to surf.

The absolute standout is Wednesday the 8th morning, but only if you’ve got the stones for 12ft surf with a side wind. For the average surfer, your moment is Thursday the 9th morning – 5ft, clean, and that offshore breeze will have the Breakwall looking like a treat.

Second week is a dead loss. A tiny pulse of 4ft on Friday the 17th gets absolutely hammered by a 25 mph SSE wind, making it a total mess. After that, it’s small, clean, and empty all the way to the 21st. Not a wave worth paddling for.

In short: a big, gnarly day for experts on the 8th, a clean but short window for everyone else on the 9th, and then a long, flat drought. Tough break.

Information about the Tweed River Breakwall Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tweed River Breakwall provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tweed River Breakwall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tweed River Breakwall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tweed River Breakwall) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
