The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ordinary for the Tweed River Breakwall. There’s no real swell to get excited about, and most days are a write-off. The water temp is sitting around 69°, which is about average for the time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We kick off on Saturday the 29th of August with a bit of swell, but it’s messy. Saturday morning there’s 4ft from the SSE with a 10-second period and a cross wind from the SSE at 9 mph. Combined energy is moderate at 416, but the wind’s putting a chop on it, making for poor surf conditions. By afternoon it drops right off to 2ft from the east at 9 seconds, and the energy plummets to 97. Not worth paddling out.

Sunday the 30th is similar – 3ft on Sunday morning from the south at a short 7 seconds, cross wind, energy at 138. Then it gets worse in the afternoon with 4ft but a period of only 5 seconds and a cross-onshore wind. Choppy and horrible.

Monday the 31st, Tuesday the 1st of September, Wednesday the 2nd – it’s all tiny, weak, and wind-affected. Wednesday morning does have a clean moment with a light offshore NNW wind and 2ft east swell at 10 seconds, but it’s barely surfable. We’re talking energy in the 60s and 80s. I’d call it a scrap, not a session.

Thursday the 3rd through to Saturday the 5th of September are almost flat – 1ft to 2ft, mostly east or northeast swell with periods of 6 to 9 seconds. The mornings are clean thanks to offshore NNW winds, but there’s just no power. Energy readings are as low as 36 to 41. Even a clean wave with no push is just a bump.

Sunday the 6th of September has a glimmer – morning brings 2ft from the NNE at 6 seconds, clean with a light NW wind, and it’s labelled as surfable but very ordinary. Energy is only 60. Then the afternoon gets blown out again with cross-onshore ESE wind and 4ft from the NNE at a shocking 5 seconds. That’s just windswell junk.

Monday the 7th of September stays tiny, but Tuesday the 8th has a small pulse of 2ft from the SE with an 11-second period, clean offshore WNW wind in the morning – energy 67, and it’s surfable but ordinary. By afternoon the energy jumps to 119 with 2ft from the SE, still clean. It’s the best-looking window, but it’s still small.

After that, from Wednesday the 9th of September onward, we see a long-period SE swell building with periods of 15 to 16 seconds, but the height is only 1ft to 2ft. That long-period groundswell on a point break like the Breakwall might offer some shape, but with no size and often onshore or cross-onshore winds, it’s mostly poor surf conditions. The combined energy climbs to 123 on the 9th and 11th, but the waves are barely breaking.

Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best chance is Tuesday the 8th of September morning – that offshore wind and a bit of SE swell with a groundswell period is the only thing I’d even glance at, and it’s still only 2ft. Don’t expect much. This is a blank run for the area.

Rusty.

Information about the Tweed River Breakwall Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tweed River Breakwall provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tweed River Breakwall can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tweed River Breakwall surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Tweed River Breakwall) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
