Table - best surf conditions forecast for Twilight Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Twilight Beach in feet and miles per hour.
The first week is a total loss. From Friday the 10th through the weekend, the wind is onshore, the surf is choppy, and the water temp is around 62°F, which is dead average. Nothing to chase.
Sunday the 12th, the swell jumps to 10ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, energy is pumping (4924), but the wind is still cross-shore, making it a lumpy mess. Monday the 13th, the swell hits 12ft at 17 seconds (7534 energy), but the wind is cross-on, and the notes say it’s too big for this spot. Experts only, and not clean.
Now, the real standout is Tuesday the 14th morning. The wind goes offshore from the N at just 6 mph, glassing it up. The swell is a solid 10ft from the SSW, 15-second period, 3749 energy – it’s got heaps of power. Conditions are clean and excellent for experienced surfers. The swell’s over 8ft, so it’s experts-only, but it’s the best session on offer. Twilight Beach is fairly exposed and fairly consistent, so it’s a legit option. Crowds are possible, so get in early.
Wednesday the 15th afternoon is a nice smaller option – 5ft, gentle offshore from the N, clean and clean. Good for intermediates.
Thursday the 16th has a 7ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, but the wind is cross-shore. Not bad, not great.
The weekend of the 18th and 19th gets huge again – 15ft to 16ft – but with strong cross-onshore winds. That’s a full-on mess, and the energy on Sunday the 19th morning is 11762 (very strong). That’s kite-surfing weather, not for a paddle.
Monday the 20th morning is glassy with an 12ft S swell, but likely too big for the break. Tuesday the 21st morning is another clean window – 8ft S swell, offshore from the NNE, flagged as excellent. Not as big as the 14th, but solid.
The rest of the second week fades off. Some clean days but small, like Wednesday the 22nd with 5ft. Then the wind howls again on the 24th and 25th, with near gale-force gusts, making it a write-off.
The best of the bunch is Tuesday the 14th morning. After that, Wednesday the 15th afternoon and Tuesday the 21st morning are worth a look for smaller, clean sessions. But the 14th is the one.

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.
