The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, it's looking pretty grim on the whole. The next two weeks are a real test of patience for us.
We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much from Monday the 7th right through until the middle of the following week. The swell is tiny and the wind is messy. The real kicker is Thursday the 10th, when that combined energy jumps right up to 876 (moderate energy) in the arvo with a 8ft swell from the SSE, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore. That makes for lumpy, choppy conditions, so it’s not a sit-on-your-board kind of session—looks more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfing.
Friday the 11th morning sees the biggest swell of the period, an 8ft SSE groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, and combined energy hitting 1169 (strong). But again, it's blown out by a cross-shore wind. At that size, it's only for the experienced crew, and with the wind, it’ll be a battle. There's no real standout in this whole run.
The only bright spot, and I mean the only one, is Wednesday the 9th morning at the Tweed River Breakwall (Tweed-River-Breakwall). It's only a 3ft swell from the SSE, nothing huge, but the wind goes glassy. That’s the magic word. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so don't expect a warm one. The swell direction (SSE) isn't bang on the optimum (ENE) for the break, but when it's that clean, a small wave is still a good wave. You’ll just have to share it because crowds are often around.
Then we get another glassy chance on Thursday the 17th of September in the morning. A tiny 2ft from the NE, but with that slight air and no wind, it’ll be clean. Still, it’s ankle to knee-high stuff. The rest of the time? You’re better off checking the forecast again in a few days.
Rusty.
