The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here with the lowdown on Tweed River Breakwall. We've got a long stretch of near-nothing coming up, so don’t rush to wax up just yet.
For the first 11 days, you’re looking at tiny dribble. Swell heights barely break 2 feet, with wind mostly cross, cross-on, or onshore making a mess of what little is there. Surfable but flat conditions show up Monday morning August 3rd with a 2-foot SE swell and a period of 10 seconds, and combined energy at 173. There are glassy windows (Monday morning, and Wednesday morning August 5th), but it’s still tiny—mostly 2 feet to 2 feet.
The dry spell stretches from now until the morning of Tuesday August 11th. That's more than a week of flatness. Water temp on Friday July 31st was 69°F, which is average for this time of year.
Now, here comes the good bit. The standout is on Tuesday August 11th afternoon. We get a clean 2-foot E swell with a 13-second period, with combined energy at 281. Wind is offshore from the W at 12 mph—that’s clean, open faces. Wednesday August 12th keeps it going with a 3-foot E swell (11-second period) and light offshore wind from the WNW in the morning, combined energy at 244. It’s glassy, clean, and the break will be running nicely.
Also, Saturday August 15th afternoon looks promising with a 2-foot E swell and period of 11 seconds, combined energy of 200, and glassy winds from the SSE.
But the real call is Tuesday 11th afternoon through Wednesday 12th. Offshore winds, long-period swell (11 to 13 seconds) wrapping into the point, moderate energy over 200. Crowds are possible, so don’t be surprised to see a few others in the water. That’s your window. The wave height stays under 5 feet, so it’s good for intermediates, too.
After that, the swell lingers around 2 feet but winds shift onshore Thursday afternoon, so jump on that Tuesday-Wednesday window.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
