The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through the Tweed River Breakwall outlook in feet and miles.
Right now, it’s dead quiet. The first few days are full of choppy cross-onshore junk. You don’t get anything remotely surfable until Thursday afternoon, 20th August – a glassy window with a 4ft east swell. The energy’s weak (171) and period’s short at 8 seconds. Barely worth paddling out.
Friday 21st August morning cleans up a little – a light NNW cross-off breeze on a 3ft east swell (energy 135). Tiny, but clean walls on a point. Water sits around 68° – pretty normal for the season.
The best of a skinny menu is Wednesday 26th August morning: dead calm, glassy, a 2ft east-northeast swell with a 9-second period (energy 89). It’s small, and the break can get crowded, but for a chill session on a glassy point, that’s your shot.
After that, it’s a long lull – waves drop to 1ft by the 30th (energy 28). Then a pulse hits 31st August: 7ft from the southeast, energy jumping to 503 – but cross-shore wind ruins it. By 1st September, energy hits 677 with 7ft waves, but again, cross-shore wind kills the quality.
Bottom line: the only real standout is that glassy Wednesday 26th August morning with clean 2ft waves. Everything else is too small or too messy. Hang in there.
Rusty.
