The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here checkin' in. Gotta be honest, the outlook for the Tweed River Breakwall is a quiet one. We’re lookin’ at a long stretch of small, messy surf with not much to get the heart pumpin’. Water temp is a normal 69°, par for the course around here.
Kickin' off Friday the 28th of August, waves are tiny, about 2ft from the ENE with an 8-second period. Wind’s a light cross-shore, but the energy is weak (84) and the surf is just poor. Not worth wettin' a suit. That afternoon gets even smaller and choppier with a cross-onshore breeze. Leave the board at home.
Saturday the 29th shows a little more size in the mornin' – about 4ft from the SSE with a 10-second period, and energy jumps to a moderate 397. Still a cross-shore wind, though, and it's called marginal. Biggest we see for a while, but it ain't clean. The afternoon fizzles right out.
From Sunday the 30th all the way to Friday the 11th of September, it's a long, flat, frustrating stretch. Most days show swell under 3ft, periods all over the place, winds mostly cross or cross-onshore. A couple clean moments – the mornin' of Wednesday the 2nd of September has a clean little 2ft from the east with a light cross-offshore breeze, and Thursday the 3rd mornin' is clean too, but it's only 1ft. These are tiny, rideable but ordinary. Not standouts.
The only real blip is Monday the 7th of September in the afternoon. We get a clean 3ft from the SE, 10-second period, cross-offshore breeze from the WNW, and energy is a moderate 210. It's the most promising window, but even then it's described as marginal. That makes it the pick, but it's still small. For the experts, there's nothin' over 8ft. For beginners, nothin' over 5ft ever really shows, so it's friendly if you've got a log and no expectations.
Honestly, there's no true standout session. The best bet is that Monday 7th afternoon, but that's a stretch. The rest is a whole lotta nothin'. The break is usually consistent, so a run this poor is a bit odd – it won't stay this flat forever. But for now, if you're desperate, you might snag a few ankle-biters on a clean day. Otherwise, save the wax.
Rusty.
