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.

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.
