The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's get stuck into the outlook for the Tweed River Breakwall.

Alright, straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this forecast is a bit of a shocker. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the waves are just not cooperating. The Tweed River Breakwall is a point break that's usually consistent, but we're in for a long, dry spell. For the first week and a half, it's all small, weak, and messy. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly below 100 (like 70, 66, 84), and we're stuck with tiny 1 ft to 2 ft waves from the east. The wind is all over the place – cross, cross-on, cross-off – but never really doing us any favours. The water temp is sitting at 69°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least the water won't be a shock.

The first real sign of life doesn't appear until Thursday the 10th of September. That morning, we see a solid 7 ft swell from the SSE, and the energy jumps right up to 1044 (strong). But here's the kicker – it's a cross-onshore wind at 19 mph from the SSE, making for lumpy, poor surf conditions. The period is 10 seconds, so it's a bit of a junkyard swell. That afternoon, the swell drops to 4 ft from the SE, with energy at 473 (moderate), but the wind is still a cross-onshore mess. This is the only spike in the whole outlook, and it's not clean. Because of the size (over 5 ft) and the poor conditions, this is not a day for beginners – and the onshore wind means it's not even that great for experts. The setup here looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.

After that, the rest of the window fades back into tiny, weak surf with poor conditions. We're talking about a gap of nearly a week with no real recommendations. It's a tough run, but this spot is usually consistent, so hopefully, the forecasts will change. For now, I'd leave the boards at home.

Rusty.

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.
