The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but once the swell arrives, it’s going to be a wild ride. The first few days look promising, but then things get real big, real fast. The standout window is definitely the early part of the run, with a couple of real gems in there.

Let’s kick off at Twilight Beach. This spot is fairly exposed to the south-west, which is exactly where the swell is coming from.

Saturday morning, July 25th is your first call. We’ve got clean 5ft surf from the SSW, with a solid 12-second period, and a light offshore breeze from the NNW. The water's sitting at 62°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (612), but the conditions are clean. This is a good, fun size for an intermediate.

Saturday afternoon gets even better. The swell pushes up to 5ft, the wind drops to a light 6 mph from the north, still offshore. The energy jumps a bit (677), and it’s looking glassy. This is a real sweet spot – clean, punchy waves, not too crowded. This is the highlight of the first week for me.

Sunday the 26th is a write-off. The wind cranks up to 28 mph from the NW, smashing the surface. The swell drops to 3ft but with a long 15-second period, and the wind is cross-off, so it’s a mess. Then later that afternoon, a 13ft swell from the SW shows up, but with 25 mph cross-shore winds. That’s just dangerous and ugly. Skip it.

Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th are for experts only. The swell is solid 10ft from the SSW, but the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. The energy is massive (up to 5,618 on Monday morning), but the quality is poor. This is big, raw, unruly power.

Wednesday morning, July 29th is another standout. The swell drops to a still-chunky 8ft, but the wind goes light offshore from the NNE. The period is 13 seconds, and the energy is still high (2,870). This is an excellent window for experienced surfers. The waves will have real power, but the offshore wind will keep them clean.

Thursday the 30th is a nice follow-up. The swell is back down to 5ft and 5ft, with a long 15-second period and a light offshore wind. The energy is solid (1,503 and 1,382). This is a good, clean, long-period groundswell that should wrap nicely into the beach. Very cruisey.

Friday the 31st sees the swell pick up again to 7ft to 8ft, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The wind is light and cross-off in the morning, but the sets will be widely spaced. This is a classic groundswell – great shape, plenty of energy (2,768), but you’ll be waiting for the waves. The afternoon is a bit weaker with a cross-on breeze.

Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd are a mixed bag. Saturday is blown out with strong cross-onshore winds. Sunday looks better, with a 7ft SSW swell and a cross-off breeze from the NE, cleaning things up. The energy is moderate (1,624). It’s a decent option, but not a standout.

Now, here’s where it gets wild. From Monday, August 3rd onwards, the swell really starts to pump, but it’s mostly a case of too much of a good thing. The wind is often strong and cross-shore, and the swell heights hit 13ft and 15ft. The energy readings are massive (7,332 and 8,042). This is serious, expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is often a problem. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this week.

Wednesday, August 5th afternoon is a perfect example – 15ft swell from the SW, 15-second period, but a cross-shore wind. It’s too big for this break.

Thursday, August 6th is the same story – huge 13ft swell, cross-off wind, but it’s just too big. The energy is extreme (7,332). This is a beast of a day, but not for the faint of heart.

The last few days (August 7th to 9th) look to drop back in size, but the wind stays onshore or cross-shore, keeping the surf messy and lumpy. Not much to get excited about there.

So, the real call is Saturday afternoon, July 25th and Wednesday morning, July 29th. Those are the two windows where the stars align for clean, powerful surf at Twilight Beach.

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.
