The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Tweed River Breakwall over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough run ahead. The forecast is mostly a bust for any decent surfing, but there’s one tiny window that might just save your weekend.

The overall pattern is a long, dry stretch of ordinary, small, and messy surf. The energy is weak, and the winds are a constant problem. We’re looking at a solid gap of a week and a half where the Breakwall is barely worth a second glance.

For the first week, from Sunday the 6th right through to Saturday the 12th, it’s all pretty grim. Sunday morning the 6th has a tiny 2ft swell from the NNE with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is a paltry 46 (weak). The wind is a cross-off from the NNW, so it’s clean, but with that size and period, it’s just not happening. Sunday afternoon the 6th sees a little more size, 4ft from the north, but the period is still a short 6 seconds, and the energy is only 171 (moderate). The wind goes glassy, which is a tease, but the swell is too weak and short to offer anything. Monday the 7th through to Saturday the 12th is a blur of poor surf conditions, with cross-shore and onshore winds, small swell, and readings that are all scoring zero. There’s a bump on Thursday the 10th afternoon when the swell hits 6ft from the SE with a period of 9 seconds and energy of 518 (strong), but the wind is a fresh SSE at 19 mph, churning it up. That’s a mess, not a wave.

Now, the standout. If you’re patient, Sunday the 13th is your day. The Sunday morning of the 13th is the only real hope in this entire outlook. We’ll have a 4ft swell from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds, giving it moderate energy (282). The best part? The wind is from the ESE at just 3 mph, going glassy. That’s the cleanest we’ll see it. The swell direction is coming from the SSE, which is close to the Breakwall’s optimum ENE, so it’s not a perfect angle, but it’s workable. This is the only time the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” It’s a small, clean day at a consistent point break, so it’ll be rideable and fun for a few turns. Just be aware, crowds are often here, so you won’t be alone.

After that, it’s back to the sad stuff. Monday the 14th through to Monday the 21st is a long slog of tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, short periods, and mostly cross or cross-off winds. The energy is almost always in the double digits (weak), and the surf conditions are described as poor. The longer period swells (10-11 seconds) on the 14th and 18th are too small to do anything with. By the time we get to Sunday the 20th, the wind is a fresh 19 mph from the north, and the swell is a pathetic 1ft. It’s not worth paddling for.

So, there you have it. One clean morning on Sunday the 13th is the only real chance. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. For a spot that’s normally consistent, this is a lean spell. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, I’d be waiting for that Sunday or finding something else to do.

Rusty.

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. 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.
