The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Tweed River Breakwall.
Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninviting for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead, with hardly any real windows of opportunity. The first solid, rideable surf doesn’t even show up until Sunday, the 9th of August, and even that’s a marginal call. So, we’re looking at about a two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The only glimmer of hope comes on that Sunday morning, the 9th of August. The Breakwall will see a chest-high 3 ft swell pushing in from the SE, with a decent 11-second period. That’s real groundswell energy, and you can feel it – the combined energy reading is 388 (moderate wave energy). The direction is a little cross to the optimum ENE, but a light SSE breeze will keep things clean with just small ripples. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s a point break and it’s consistent, so it’ll be offering up some shape, but the crowds are often there. Still, it’s the only standout in the whole run, so if you’re keen, that’s your morning.
Before that, it’s grim. We get a brief spike on Friday the 31st of July with a 5 ft SE swell and moderate cross-shore wind, but it’s messy and poor. Saturday the 1st of August brings a 4 ft E swell, but it’s still cross-shore and choppy. Everything else is tiny, short-period, and blowing onshore or cross-onshore. A lot of 1 ft and 1.0 ft slop with periods under 8 seconds – just not enough push to do anything with.
Hang in there, and keep an eye on the forecasts. Things can change.
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.
