The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the Tweed River Breakwall in the local tongue.
Truth is, the next two weeks look pretty grim. The breakwall is a consistent little point, but the swell and wind just aren’t getting along. There are a couple of moments that might get you excited, but mostly, it’s small and crossed up.
Your best bet is Friday morning, August 28th. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the east, but the wind goes dead glassy. The energy is weak (85), which means easy paddling and clean little peelers. If you just need to get wet, that’s the time.
Then, on Sunday, August 30th, a big pulse shows up. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the SSE, with a combined energy reading of 1164 (very strong). The wind is a fresh cross-shore at 18 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. That’s for the big boys only.
After that, the second week is a total snoozer. From the 31st of August onward, the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, with some glassy mornings but not enough wave to matter.
Water temp is 69°, which is right where it should be.
So, to sum it up: Friday the 28th is your clean, small window. The 30th is a big, messy swell for experts. The rest is a flat spell.
Rusty.
