The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about the Tweed River Breakwall in the local tongue.
Truth is, the next two weeks look pretty grim. The breakwall is a consistent little point, but the swell and wind just aren’t getting along. There are a couple of moments that might get you excited, but mostly, it’s small and crossed up.
Your best bet is Friday morning, August 28th. The swell is a tiny 3ft from the east, but the wind goes dead glassy. The energy is weak (85), which means easy paddling and clean little peelers. If you just need to get wet, that’s the time.
Then, on Sunday, August 30th, a big pulse shows up. We’re looking at a 8ft swell from the SSE, with a combined energy reading of 1164 (very strong). The wind is a fresh cross-shore at 18 mph, so it’ll be lumpy. That’s for the big boys only.
After that, the second week is a total snoozer. From the 31st of August onward, the swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, with some glassy mornings but not enough wave to matter.
Water temp is 69°, which is right where it should be.
So, to sum it up: Friday the 28th is your clean, small window. The 30th is a big, messy swell for experts. The rest is a flat spell.
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).
