The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty.

Alright, let’s have a look at the Tweed River Breakwall over the next couple of weeks. I’m gonna be straight with you – it’s a bit of a shocker on the whole. The forecast is pretty much a long stretch of tiny, unexciting surf with hardly any windows for a decent paddle. You’re looking at a solid block of time from now right through to the middle of the month where there’s just nothing doing. The first real glimmer of anything that could be called surfable doesn’t pop up until Sunday the 6th, and even then, it’s not great.

We start with Saturday the 5th – those first couple of days are a write-off. Tiny 1.0 ft east swell with a fairly short 9-second period, weak wave energy around 21, and cross-onshore wind making a mess of any little bumps. Then late Sunday the 6th, we get a bit of a pulse. The wind swings offshore from the west, light at 3 mph, and we see 5 ft of north swell but it’s short period at 6 seconds, so it’s jumbled and weak-ish with energy at 199. It’s clean, but the wave shape is ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets for a while. Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are back to small, weak, and choppy.

Wednesday the 9th morning offers a little more hope with a 3 ft south-east groundswell at 11 seconds, energy up to 245, but it’s cross-onshore and still only rated as marginal. Thursday the 10th gets a bigger lump of 6 ft out of the south-east by the afternoon, but the wind is howling at 19 mph from the south, creating lumpy, messy conditions. That’s a fair bit of energy at 408, but with that wind, it’s not a paddle boarder’s friend – more like something for the kite crew if you’re into that.

From there it trails off into tiny dribble. The rest of the period looks bleak. Nothing stands out as a solid, clean day where the swell, wind, and period line up. The consistent low energy and poor wind direction just kill any hope for a proper session. The water temp? I can’t give you an exact number today, but it’s sitting where you’d expect for this time of year.

There’s really just that one brief moment on Sunday the 6th afternoon that’s the best on offer, but even that’s a stretch. The Breakwall usually needs a decent east-north-east swell with offshore west wind to really work, and we just aren’t seeing that combo at all. Best advice? Don’t get your hopes up this time. Sometimes it stays flat for a stretch, but forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.

Signed,
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.

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.
