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.

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.
