The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through the Tweed River Breakwall outlook.
Straight up, it’s a mixed bag. There are a lot of days where the wind doesn’t cooperate, but we’ve got a couple of bright spots if you pick your times.
Tuesday the 11th of August, the first surf is on. Small east swell, 2 ft, with a 9-second period. The energy is weak (67). The morning is a beauty – clear skies and a light 5 km/h westerly blowing offshore. That’s clean, tiny waves. Water temp is 69°, right around average for this time of year.
Wednesday the 12th of August, same deal. 2 ft east swell. The morning is glassy with a 5 km/h west-northwesterly. Pure glass. Not big, but clean fun on a longboard.
From Wednesday afternoon through to the 21st of August, the wind turns onshore or cross-shore, and the waves bump up but get ugly. The swell reaches 4 ft to 7 ft from the east-southeast, and the energy gets moderate to strong (up to 603), but the quality is poor. The mess from the wind ruins it for the point.
Saturday the 22nd of August is the clear standout. Morning is flat calm – zero wind from the north-northwest. We’ve got 5 ft of east swell with a 10-second period and a combined energy of 384 (moderate). That’s a proper, clean east groundswell wrapping into the point with no wind. The swell direction matches the spot’s optimum (ENE). This is the one to circle on your calendar. It’s not too big for intermediates.
Monday the 24th of August morning is another decent option. 3 ft of east swell, 11-second period, and a 15 km/h south-southwesterly cross-off wind. Clean, with moderate energy (236). The long period will give it shape, but there might be a bit of time between sets.
Tuesday the 25th of August morning is glassy again with a 5 km/h southerly, but it’s only 3 ft and low energy (140) – just small and ordinary.
After that, it fades into small and windy conditions through the 26th.
The best of the lot is Saturday the 22nd of August morning. Tweed River Breakwall flat and clean – get out there.
Rusty.
