The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Tweed River Breakwall over the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, it's a pretty flat start. The first week or so is looking mostly quiet, with small, messy waves and a lot of cross-shore chop. The water temp is sitting at about 69°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.
We do have a bit of a pulse showing up on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning sees a 7ft swell out of the SSE, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1245, so there's plenty of grunt in the water. It's a bit of a size, though, so this one is for the experienced crew only. The wind is a gentle cross-shore, so it won't be glassy, but it should be manageable. This is the standout on offer, a solid winter groundswell hitting the point.
After that, it settles back down again. There's a couple of afternoons on the 11th and 12th of August with offshore winds and some small, clean waves, but the swell is tiny and the energy is weak. Nothing to get too excited about.
So, in short, if you're an expert, mark your calendar for Saturday the 8th. For everyone else, it's a waiting game. The forecasts can always change, so keep an eye on it.
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.
