The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, breaking down the Tweed River Breakwall for the next couple of weeks. Look, I’ll be honest—this is a slow start. The first week is mostly flat, messy, and not worth getting wet. But there’s a bright spot way down the line that’s got my attention.
Starting Sunday the 26th of July, you’ve got a tiny 0.4m south-east swell, but the wind is cross and cross-on, making it useless. The wave energy is weak (49), and the water temp is pretty average for this time of year. Monday and Tuesday are the same story—small, weak, and cross-chop. Tuesday morning the 28th is glassy, but it’s still only 0.4m, just a flat clean lake. Don’t bother.
Wednesday the 29th brings a 0.6m easterly windswell with a period of just 6 seconds—weak and dumpy. The cross-off wind keeps it clean, but there’s no power. The energy is low (28-33). Thursday and Friday see a bump on the 30th to 0.9m, but the wind is cross-on and choppy, ruining it. The energy hits 100 (moderate) on Friday arvo, but it’s still a mess.
The first weekend of August is a tease. Saturday the 1st has 0.9m swell, but the south wind is blowing 25 km/h, creating a lumpy cross-chop. Sunday the 2nd has 1.1m swell and energy up to 297, but that wind is still ruining it. It’s a frustrating, choppy mess.
The first real chance comes Monday the 3rd of August. The swell drops to 0.9m, but the period lengthens to 11 seconds, giving it some groundswell feel. The wind is light from the SSE, so it’s passable, but only marginal. The energy is moderate (245). The best of the whole run is Monday the 10th of August. A 1.4m south-south-east swell with a glassy morning, dead calm, and the potential for clean, punchy waves. The energy is strong (325), and this is the standout. The Tweed River Breakwall is a consistent point break, so it handles a longer period well, but with a period of 8 seconds, it’s a windswell—still, the glassy conditions make it the best on offer. The optimum swell direction is ENE, so this SSE swell is a bit off, but clean waves beat perfect direction every time. Crowds are often here, so get in early.
The rest of the second week is a write-off—small, windy, and poor from the 4th to the 9th. The near-term forecast is more reliable, so that Monday the 10th is a promising call, but with a week to go, it’s a hopeful sign.
Rusty, signing off.
