The Lowdown

Alright, mates, let’s chop it up for the Tweed River Breakwall. The next stretch is a bit of a famine before a feast, so don't get too fired up for the next week.

For the first week, from Monday the 31st of August through to Tuesday the 8th of September, there's basically nothing to get excited about. Wave heights are mostly under a meter, energy readings are weak, dropping below 100, like down to 30 at times. The swell is coming from the east, and the wind is mostly cross-shore or cross-on, making it a bit doodly. There's one morning on Friday the 4th where the glassy conditions hit, but there's only 0.4m on offer. You could take the foamie out, but that's about it. Water temp is average for this time of year, so you don't need a thick suit.

Then, on Wednesday the 9th of September, the pulse finally hits. Morning looks magic – glassy conditions, slight SSE swell at 1.4m, and the energy jumps to 337. That is our first real window and the best shape you’ll see for a while. The Breakwall will have some proper lines running. Don’t sleep on it, because the afternoon jumps to 2m and turns messy.

The 10th and 11th bring the real size, with 2.3m to 2.5m of SSE-SE swell, and energy readings going off the charts, like 1370. But it’s all cross-onshore and dumpy. At this size, it's beginner territory no more. We're talking only for the experienced crew who can handle a beatdown. It stays heavy but lumpy through the 12th and into the 13th. The swell period drops to 8-10 seconds, and it's just not well-ordered. You'll get a few, but you'll work for every one.

Into the final days of the run, the 14th and 15th, the swell backs off to 1.0m to 1.3m but it's locked into an onshore wind, so the quality is poor.

So, if you're picking your sessions, Wednesday the 9th morning is your standout – clean, a bit of fun energy, and before it all gets too rowdy. The big days on the 10th are for experts only, and even then, it's a scrap. Otherwise, it's flat and blown out. But you know how it goes here, it's a consistent bank, so this dry spell will break – just keep an eye out.

Catch ya in the water,

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.
