The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.

First up, the only spot on the menu for this whole 16-day stretch is Tweed River Breakwall (Tweed-River-Breakwall) . It’s a point break, consistent, and it faces exposed towards the east-northeast – that’s the best direction for this place. Water temp is sitting at 69°F right now, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit dramas.

But mate, I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. There’s a long, flat run to start. Nothing worth paddling out for until we get past the first few days. The first bit of any real energy doesn’t show up until Sunday the 6th of September morning, when we see a pulse of northeast swell push up to about 4ft. The combined energy hits 114 – that’s moderate – but the period is a weak 6 seconds, so it’s just windswell junk. The wind is a light northerly, so it’s cross-shore with just some small ripples. Clean-ish, but the waves will be fat and weak. Not a standout.

After that, it’s back to small, poor conditions. The wind swings around and chops things up. There are days with onshore slop and cross-chop. Nothing to get excited about.

Then we get a bit of a pulse on Friday the 11th of September in the morning. Swell jumps to 5ft from the southeast, and the combined energy is a solid 239 – moderate-strong for this spot. But the period is only 6 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-shore from the south-southeast, which will put a lumpy chop on the face. It’s going to be messy. The size might get your heart going, but the quality just isn’t there. For intermediate surfers, it’s doable but not pretty. The afternoon stays similar but a bit smaller at 4ft.

Honestly, if you’re desperate for a session, the cleanest morning is probably Saturday the 12th of September, with a 3ft southeast swell, 6-second period, but the wind is light and cross-onshore. It’ll be small and soft but rideable on a log. The energy is down to 149, so it’s moderate fun, nothing more.

The rest of the run into the second week is just small, weak, and mostly onshore. A few pulses of 4ft or 2ft, but with short periods and poor wind. Not worth getting the board wet for.

So, if I have to pick one standout, it’s the Friday the 11th morning session for the biggest size – but don’t expect perfection. Bring a grovel board. For the cleanest, most user-friendly waves, go for the Sunday 13th morning, with 3ft and light cross-onshore breezes; it’ll be small but it won’t fight you.

Overall, this is a lean patch. The breakwall is consistent, but the conditions just aren’t lining up. It won’t stay this way forever, but for now, don’t plan your week around it.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Tweed River Breakwall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
