Twilight Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. The only game in town for the next 16 days is Twilight Beach. It’s a fairly exposed spot, handles a SW swell best, and for an intermediate, it’s gonna be a proper playground.

The water’s sitting at 62°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

We kick off on Saturday afternoon, July 4th. Straight away, we’ve got a solid 8ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a 17-second period. That’s a long period, meaning proper power and shape, but it can make beach breaks a bit straight. Still, with a light cross-off breeze and combined energy reading 4566, it’s a big, powerful day. This one’s for experienced surfers though—8ft is getting into the big stuff.

Sunday morning, July 5th, the swell drops to 6ft, but the wind is strong and offshore out of the NNE at 25 km/h. It’s going to be a bit blown out, but the wind state is clean. The afternoon cleans up nicely with lighter winds, dropping to 5ft, and the energy is still moderate at 956. A solid session.

Monday morning, July 6th, is the real standout. Glassy conditions, 5ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, and combined energy at 974. That’s clean, smooth, and perfect for an intermediate. The wave quality is going to be excellent. Monday afternoon gets a bit sketchy with a cross-on wind, so get it in the morning.

Tuesday July 7th brings another big pulse: 7ft in the morning, 17-second period, cross-off wind, and energy at 3782. That’s a strong, powerful swell. The afternoon blows up to 10ft, so again, stick to the morning for the best window.

Wednesday July 8th is a solid choice too. 6ft in the morning with offshore wind, clean and lined up. The afternoon is a bit more cross, but still fun.

We hit a bit of a dodgy patch Thursday July 9th, with a strong WNW wind in the morning, but the afternoon locks back in with a cross-off breeze and 6ft swell. Not the best, but still surfable.

Then things get wild. Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th are messy. The swell jumps to 13ft on Friday with a short 10-second period and strong onshore wind. That’s a lot of water moving fast, but the quality is poor. Honestly, that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Saturday is similar, just a bit smaller.

Sunday July 12th and Monday July 13th are again too big for most. 10ft to 12ft, with a 17-second period. That’s massive, clean in the afternoon on the 13th with glassy conditions, but it’s expert-only territory.

Tuesday July 14th is a nice return to form. 7ft in the morning, glassy in the afternoon, with a 14-second period. That’s a clean, solid day for anyone comfortable in overhead waves.

Wednesday July 15th is another standout. 7ft in the morning with offshore wind, dropping to 6ft in the afternoon with a light cross-off breeze. Combined energy is 1829 and 1402, so it’s going to be fun and consistent.

Thursday July 16th and Friday July 17th are smaller, around 4ft to 5ft, but with clean offshore winds. It’s a good way to wind down the forecast period.

After that, the surf drops off. Saturday July 18th and Sunday July 19th are a write-off—small, windy, and messy. That’s a solid 2-day gap of no good surf to end the run.

So, the best of the best? Monday morning July 6th with glassy 5ft, and Wednesday July 15th for the combo of size and clean wind. Get out there.

Rusty.
