Table - best surf conditions forecast for Tweed River Breakwall over the next 16 days.
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Tweed River Breakwall.
Right now, the surf’s pretty ordinary. We’ve got a long flat spell coming up, so don’t rush to grab your board just yet. The first real recommendation doesn’t show up until Friday the 10th of July, and even then it’s marginal. There’s a gap of a few days with no real surf on offer from Wednesday the 16th all the way through to Tuesday the 21st, so it’s going to be a quiet stretch.
Looking at this Thursday morning, the 9th of July, we’ve got a 4 ft swell from the ESE with an 11-second period, but the wind is a cross SSW at 12 mph, and the water temp is 70°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (385). Conditions are poor, so I’d give it a miss.
Friday morning the 10th of July brings a bit more size – 7 ft from the SSE with a 10-second period – and the wind is a cross-off SSW at 12 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy jumps to moderate (1083). It’s a marginal call, but if you’re keen, it’s the first decent look. The afternoon drops back to 4 ft and turns cross, so your window is the morning.
Saturday morning the 11th of July is worth a mention. The swell is smaller at 3 ft from the SE with a 10-second period, but the wind goes glassy, just 3 mph from the S. The combined energy is low (234), but it’ll be clean and fun for a cruise. The afternoon picks up a 4 ft SE swell with a longer 12-second period, and the energy climbs to moderate (619), but the wind turns cross-on from the NNE, so it’s not as tidy.
The standout for the whole period is definitely Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning brings a solid 10 ft swell from the SE with a 10-second period, and combined energy is strong (2661). The wind is offshore from the W at 9 mph, making it clean. That’s one for experienced surfers only – it’ll be big and powerful. The afternoon holds 8 ft from the ESE, still offshore from the WSW, with energy (1427). This is the best on offer: excellent, clean, and punchy. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Friday the 24th of July is also a cracker. The morning has a 8 ft ESE swell with an 11-second period, glassy calm, and combined energy strong (1429). Again, expert territory. The afternoon drops to 8 ft, cross-on from the NNE, so it gets a bit messy.
If you’re looking for something smaller, Wednesday the 22nd of July afternoon has a 5 ft SSE swell with offshore W wind at 12 mph, combined energy moderate (491), and the conditions are clean. Good for intermediates.
The long-range stuff – anything after the 17th – is promising but less certain. Keep an eye on the charts.
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.

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.
