The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the surf for the next few weeks. Just one spot in the mix: Twilight Beach. It's a fairly consistent, intermediate wave, open to the SW. The first few days are a bit of a dud, but there's a couple of real gems if you're willin' to wait.
The early part of the week is a washout. Wednesday the 26th has some swell, 7ft to 8ft from the SW, with a long 15-second period, but the wind is either cross-off or onshore, messin' it up. The energy is buildin' (1973 to 2880), but the conditions are just plain ugly. Thursday and Friday get worse with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, messy surf. That's a solid three-day stretch of poor conditions.
Now, we get a little breather on Saturday afternoon the 29th. The swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, but the wind goes light and cross-off, and the period is a real long 19 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (1333), and the report says "expect very good surf conditions." This is a small window of clean, lined-up waves, but it won't last long.
The standout, the one you gotta circle, is Sunday morning the 30th of August. This is the best on offer. We've got a solid 8ft SSW groundswell with a 19-second period, and the wind is a clean offshore from the NNE (12 mph). The combined energy jumps up to 4574, which is strong. The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." That's a big call. This is a powerful, long-period swell with clean offshore wind. The only catch is that 8ft is gettin' into expert territory, and that long period will make it wall up, so it's best for those with experience. Expect a few folks in the water as it's a reasonably popular spot.
Monday the 31st is still rideable in the morning, with 6ft SSW swell and cross-off wind, but it's not as clean. The rest of the first week of September is a mixed bag of onshore breezes and choppy conditions.
Lookin' further out, we got another promising window. Thursday morning the 3rd of September looks good again. Another 8ft SSW swell, this time with a 15-second period, and a light cross-off wind from the NW (9 mph). The energy is up at 3157, and the report again says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." It's a similar setup to the Sunday before, just a bit less period. This is a solid second option.
The following week gets a bit cleaner around the 6th. Sunday morning the 6th of September has a glassy 5ft SSW swell, which would be a dream for a longboard or a funboard, but the energy is weaker (708). Then, headin' into the 8th, Tuesday morning the 8th of September has another big one: 10ft at 16 seconds from the SSW, with a clean offshore wind from the N. That's a massive, powerful swell (4069 energy). That's for experts only, but it's a serious session.
So overall, the near-term is a bit of a bust, but the first real standout is Sunday the 30th of August. The second standout is Thursday the 3rd of September. The long-range options on the 8th look huge but are a fortnight away, so keep an eye on that one. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Stay stoked, and don't waste your energy on the mid-week slop.
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.
