The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. The only spot worth paddling out at this stretch is Twilight Beach. It’s a fairly consistent intermediate break, exposed to the swell, and it works best when the swell comes from the southwest.
Water temp is 62°F, which is about average for this time of year at Twilight Beach.
The start is slow, but Tuesday the 25th of August afternoon is a real sleeper standout. A light 6 mph northerly offshore breeze keeps it clean, and you’ve got a 5 ft SW swell with a 12-second period – that’s real groundswell with some shape. The combined energy is moderate at 988, but the offshore wind is the key. Clean, fun lines.
Wednesday the 26th of August morning is also worth a look. There’s a 7 ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period, so it’s got length and power. The 18 mph NNW breeze is cross-offshore, which still works. The energy jumps to 2077, so there’s some push. But the afternoon turns onshore and messy.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are blown out – strong onshore winds and lumpy seas. Saturday the 29th is flat and choppy, forget it.
Now, the absolute standout of the whole outlook is Sunday the 30th of August morning. Clear skies, a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 9 mph, and a solid 8 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period. The combined energy is cranking at 4594 – that’s strong wave energy. This one’s for experienced surfers only; it’s big and powerful. The long period will make it break a bit straight at the beach, but the clean conditions and serious energy make it the session to target.
Monday the 31st of August morning is also a good call – a 6 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and a light 6 mph WNW cross-offshore breeze. Clean, with 1743 energy. Solid.
From Tuesday the 1st of September, the swell hangs in but the winds get tricky. Thursday the 3rd of September morning is a bright spot – clear, 6 mph northerly offshore, and a 7 ft SSW groundswell with 14-second period. The 1932 energy is solid, and it’ll be clean.
The second week is a mixed bag. Sunday the 7th of September and Tuesday the 9th of September mornings have potential with 8 ft SW groundswells and lighter winds, but the onshore kicks in later in the day. It’s promising but not locked in.
Final word: hit Tuesday 25th August afternoon for clean, mellow fun, and Sunday 30th August morning for the big, powerful, expert-only session. Don’t miss those two.

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.
