The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here, looking at the Tweed River Breakwall.
Water temp is about 69°F – normal for this time of year, nothing crazy. The forecast is a bit of a bummer to start. We’ve got a long dry spell of tiny, crappy surf for the first week or so. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, kicking up a chop, and the swell is just short-period junk, rarely reaching 3ft. It’s mostly weak, with combined energy under 100 – hardly worth paddling out for.
The first real chance for a wave comes on Thursday the 17th. In the morning we get a 6ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period. The wind goes light SSW, so it’s clean and cross-off. Energy jumps to 783 – that’s a decent bump. It’s still just a marginal call, but it’s the first sign of something with a pulse.
The big standout, though, is Friday morning, September 18th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’re talking a solid 10ft swell from the SSE. That’s well into expert territory – over 8ft, so leave your foamie at home. The period is 10 seconds, and the energy is a massive 2318. That’s powerful. The wind is light from the SSW, so it should be lined up and clean. This is real groundswell hitting the point, and it could be a proper session. But it’s over a week out, so keep an eye on it.
After that, the surf backs off quickly, staying small and messy with cross-onshore winds for the rest of the run. Nothing else really stands out.
Bottom line: if you’re a charger, your window is Friday the 18th morning. It’s the only time we see serious size, good period, and clean conditions. Thursday the 17th morning is a smaller, more manageable option if you just want some fun.
Rusty out.
