The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be honest – the next 16 days are a total bust for decent waves at the Tweed River Breakwall. There’s no proper surf on the cards, just a long run of poor conditions with a couple of barely-there moments.
Right now, we’ve got a weak 5ft swell from the SE, but it’s getting hammered by a 25 km/h cross-onshore SSE wind, leaving it choppy and messy. Combined wave energy is only 233 – that’s weak – and the period’s a short 8 seconds, so no grunt. Water temp is 70°, about average for this time of year.
Friday the 11th through Sunday the 14th is all poor, with barely any waves. Monday and Tuesday stay flat with tiny 2ft windswell. Wednesday the 16th jumps to 7ft from the SE, but a strong 40 km/h SSE cross-shore wrecks it – combined energy hits 747, but it’s unsurfable. Thursday the 17th holds 6ft with a longer 10-second period, but cross-shore winds at 25 km/h keep it lumpy.
Friday the 18th morning is the closest to decent: 7ft from the SE at 9 seconds, combined energy of 977, and only a gentle cross-shore breeze. Still, it’s only marginal. Saturday the 19th morning has a clean 3ft swell with light cross-offshore wind, but it’s too small to get excited about.
Then another flat spell through Wednesday the 25th. Friday the 26th morning brings a 7ft ENE swell with 8-second period and light onshore wind, combined energy at 1003 – but still only marginal.
If I had to pick a standout, it’s the morning of Friday the 18th September and Saturday the 26th September morning, when the swell peaks and winds are light – but both are just marginal at best. The breakwall is consistent, but there’s nothing clean or powerful enough to get you out of bed.
For the wind junkies, the big breeze days on the 16th and 17th might be good for kiting, but for a surf, you’re better off waiting.
This is Rusty, out.

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.
