The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty quiet around here, so don’t get your hopes up too high. There’s a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, with small, messy waves and poor conditions hanging around for most of the first week and a half.

We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first real standout doesn’t show up until late in the game, and even then it’s on the small side. The only spot worth talking about is Tweed River Breakwall, a consistent point break that’s exposed to the swell. It’s an intermediate spot, and crowds are often around, so expect company.

The water temp is sitting at 70°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

Let’s run through the week. Starting Thursday, September 3rd, it’s a write-off. Wind is a messy cross-shore at 16 mph, swell is a weak 3 ft from the NNE with a short period of 5 seconds, and combined energy is a limp 67. That’s not surfable.

Friday, September 4th, is even smaller. 1 ft of east swell, 9-second period, but the wind is light and cross-onshore. Still poor.

Saturday, September 5th, has a moment of glassy conditions in the morning with 1 ft of 9-second east swell, but combined energy is only 29. It’s flat, mate. Afternoon gets ruined by a 12 mph cross-shore.

Sunday, September 6th, morning is clean with a cross-offshore wind, but that 1 ft swell is barely a ripple. Afternoon turns choppy.

Monday, September 7th, through to Thursday, September 10th, is a mix of tiny, weak swell and rubbish wind. The energy stays low, in the 20s to 70s, with a few spikes of moderate energy on the 8th (272) and 10th (296), but the wind is onshore or cross-shore and the waves are sloppy. Not worth paddling out.

Friday, September 11th, brings a bit of a kick. The morning shows 6 ft of swell from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and combined energy jumps to 675 – that’s moderate to strong energy. But the wind is a 12 mph cross-shore, and the surf is marginal. It’s too big for beginners at 6 ft, and the quality is lacking. Not a standout.

Saturday, September 12th, drops back to 2 ft from the SE with a better 10-second period, but wind is still cross-shore at 16 mph. Energy is 122. Just ordinary.

From Sunday, September 13th, through to Tuesday, September 15th, it’s back to tiny, weak swell, with energy in the 20s and 40s. Not worth a look.

Now, here’s the one bright spot. Thursday, September 17th, and Friday, September 18th, finally deliver. The swell is small at 2 ft from the ENE, with a 7-8 second period, but the wind goes offshore. On the 17th, we get a gentle offshore breeze from the W, around 9-12 mph, and the surf is clean. Combined energy is only 70, but it’s surfable. On Friday, September 18th, morning has a light offshore from the W at 6 mph, with 2 ft of 8-second east-northeast swell and energy of 71. The waves are clean, small, and lined up. It’s not a big day, but it’s the best on offer – a true standout for the clean conditions. The afternoon on the 18th gets ruined by onshore wind, so make the most of the morning.

That’s it. A long, quiet stretch, then a small window of clean, rideable waves on the 17th and 18th. The offshore wind is the key, so keep an eye on that.

Rusty.
