Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tweed River Breakwall over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at the Tweed River Breakwall.
Water temp is sitting right where it should be for this time of year, nothing unusual.
Right now and for the next few days, it’s flat. From Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th, we’re looking at tiny 0.2m to 0.4m swell with hardly any energy – readings as low as 10 (combined swell energy). That’s a solid three-day stretch of nothing to get excited about.
Thursday the 16th brings a jump in size, but it’s a mess. Swell hits 1.7m from the SE, but it’s blowing 25 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy and ugly. The wind stays strong and cross-shore right through Saturday the 18th, with the swell pumping up to 10 ft by Friday afternoon. The energy reading hits 2529, but it’s pure chaos. That’s a kite-surfing setup, not a paddle-surfing one. Unless you’re an expert, stay out of the water.
The real gem is further out. Circle Tuesday the 21st of July on your calendar. The morning brings a clean 5 ft E swell with a 10-second period, and light offshore wind from the W. The combined energy is 764, and it’s glassy. The Tweed River Breakwall will be firing, and the waves will be clean. Crowds are often a problem here, so be ready to compete for waves.
The days after that have some potential. Thursday the 23rd morning looks clean again with a 4 ft ESE swell and light NNW winds – a good backup. But after that, the last week of the window fades into small, ordinary surf.
So, the short story: the next week is a washout, but Tuesday the 21st of July is your standout. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
