The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break down what’s happening at Tweed River Breakwall.
It’s a slow burn to start. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are flat and ugly – no use to anyone. Wednesday the 5th morning has a glassy surface, but the swell is only 3ft with weak energy (131), so it’s a light session at best.
The real highlight is the morning of Sunday the 9th. We’ve got a 4ft east swell with a 9-second period, glassy wind, and moderate energy (208). This is the cleanest, most promising window in the whole forecast. The break is a consistent point, and the swell is coming from the east, which matches what it likes. Just know that crowds are a regular thing here, so plan to be there early.
Monday the 10th morning is still glassy, but the swell drops to 3ft and the energy is lower (134). Still a decent session if you missed Sunday. After that, the wind gets messy and the swell stays small, rarely above 3ft through the rest of the week. The water temp is 69°, which is normal for this time of year.
The second week is quiet. There’s a couple of clean mornings on the 13th and 14th with offshore wind, but the swell is tiny (3ft to 2ft) and the energy is weak. Not worth planning around. The rest of the 16 days is mostly small and chopped up.
So, the only real standout is Sunday morning, the 9th of August. Glassy, clean, and the best energy on offer. The rest is a waiting game.
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).
