The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, looking at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. It’s a story of a few killer windows, but also plenty of time where you’re better off polishing your board. The main event is definitely Twilight Beach, a fairly exposed intermediate spot that likes a good SW swell. The water’s sitting at 62°—pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The best of the best lands on Thursday morning, September 3rd. We’ve got a solid 10ft SSW groundswell, with a very long 15-second period, pushing in a massive 5037 (combined energy). The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW, so it’s gonna be clean, clean, clean. This is proper, powerful groundswell, so it’ll be better at Twilight than a beach break, and the sets will have plenty of energy. At that size, it’s strictly for experienced surfers. The Thursday afternoon session is almost as good—10ft, still 15-second period, and still offshore. That’s your standout of the whole run.
The next real highlight is a promise further out. On Sunday morning, September 13th, we’ve got another cracker: 10ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds, with a massive 6008 (combined energy) pushing in. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE. Again, that’s clean, powerful, and expert-only territory. It’s long-range, so don’t lock it in yet, but it looks like a beauty.
A couple of other decent moments. Thursday morning, September 10th will see a smaller 6ft SSW groundswell, with a clean cross-off wind from the NE. It’s a gentler option, but the quality is there for the experienced crew. And Thursday morning, September 17th has a 6ft SSW swell with a moderate offshore from the N. That’s a solid, clean session for those who don’t want the big stuff.
Now, the rest of the time is a bit of a write-off. After the Thursday September 3rd peak, the wind gets nasty. Friday September 4th is a write-off with strong cross-shore winds and a big 13ft mess. That pattern continues through the weekend and into the next week—on-shore winds, cross-chop, and lumpy conditions. The swell sticks around, but the quality is gone. The period from the 4th to the 9th is a long stretch of poor surf, with strong on-shore winds and big, messy swells. A couple of early mornings on the 10th and 13th offer a break, but then it’s back to on-shore slop for the 14th and 15th. The last few days from the 16th onward are small and marginal, with only the 17th morning looking worthwhile.
So, bottom line: if you’re an experienced surfer, the mornings of Thursday September 3rd and Sunday September 13th are your sessions. The 3rd is the most reliable, the 13th is a long-range stunner. For everyone else, it’s a quiet couple of weeks.
Rusty.

Information about the Twilight Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Twilight Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Twilight Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Twilight Beach 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 (Twilight Beach) 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 Twilight Beach 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.
