The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the forecast for the Tweed River Breakwall over the next 16 days is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, messy conditions with very little to get excited about. Most days are a write-off, so you’ll need to be patient.
The first glimmer of anything surfable doesn’t come until the morning of Sunday the 2nd of August. The swell bumps up to 5ft out of the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, giving a moderate combined energy of (572). It’s still a bit of a cross-shore wind though, so expect some chop. The water temp is about 69°F, which is bang on average for this time of year. That morning is your best bet, but it’s still only marginal.
After that, it’s back to tiny waves. The afternoon of Monday the 3rd of August sees a small 3ft SSE swell with a 12-second period – nice energy (169) but it’s tiny. The wind goes glassy, which is a rare treat, but you’ll be scratching for waves. The following morning, Tuesday the 4th, is clean with a light offshore, but again, only 1ft of swell. The pattern just keeps repeating: tiny, cleanish windows with no real push.
The rest of the week and into the second week is a flat spell. From the 5th of August right through to the 14th, the swell sits at 1ft to 2ft, with most days showing poor surf conditions. There are a few mornings with clean, offshore winds or glassy conditions, like the 8th, 9th, 11th, and 12th of August, but the swell is just too small to make it worthwhile. The combined energy values are all under 100, often sitting in the 30s and 40s, so the ocean is basically asleep.
This is a classic winter lull for the point. It’s a consistent spot, but when the swell is this low, even the best winds can’t save it. The longer-period swells we see (like the 12-second one on the 3rd) are more suited to points like this, but there’s just not enough height. For a beginner, anything over 5ft might be too much, but that’s not an issue here – we haven’t got that. For the experienced crew, the small windows of clean, offshore conditions on the 8th, 9th, and 11th might offer a few micro-sessions if you’re desperate, but honestly, I’d wait.
Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, it’s a long blank run. The setup is so weak that it might even look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on the few days with a breeze. Hang tight, Rusty.
