The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Tweed River Breakwall.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy surf ahead. The first real surfable moment doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, and even then it’s barely a whisper. Until that point, we’re looking at several days of flat to tiny, choppy junk with onshore winds – a total write-off.
The only real standout window is way out there on Thursday morning, the 13th of August. That morning we’re looking at a pulse of 5ft swell from the SE, with a solid period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is strong (469), and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the NNW, which should keep the waves clean. This is a point break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, pushing 6ft, but the wind picks up to 25 km/h and goes cross-shore, so it’ll get messier. This is the pick of the bunch, but it’s a long way off and the confidence is low.
There’s a tiny moment on the morning of Tuesday, 11th August, too. Glassy conditions with a 2ft SE swell, but it’s short-period and weak – just a whisper of a wave.
For the Tweed River Breakwall, the water temperature is sitting at 69°F with a very slight anomaly of -0.2°, so it’s pretty much average for this time of year.
So, to sum it up: a whole lot of nothing for a week and a half, then a promising but uncertain chance on the 13th. Keep your eyes on that one, but don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.

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.
