The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up. We've got a single spot on the radar for this stretch: Twilight Beach. It's a fairly exposed intermediate break, and it's going to dish up some serious power over the next couple of weeks, but we’ll have to pick our windows wisely with the wind.

The water's sitting at 62°F which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so a spring suit will be the go.

The pattern starts with a big pulse of long-period groundswell. Wednesday the 19th is a write-off. We've got a 6ft SW swell with a 16-second period, but that 19 mph cross-off wind is just too strong to make it enjoyable. The swell energy is already cooking at 1672 (moderate), and it's due to jump up to a massive 7491 (strong) later in the day, but with a cross-on chop, it’s a no-go. Honestly, Thursday morning the 20th is the real starter. The swell is still a solid 8ft from the SW, period holding at 16 seconds, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-off. That's a clean, powerful wave. The energy is still high at 3648 (moderate-to-strong). This is big, clean, and for experienced surfers only.

Friday the 21st morning is the standout of the whole run. The swell bumps up to 10ft from the SSW, still a long 16-second period, and the wind goes glassy with a 3 mph cross-off. The wave energy is 3650 (moderate-to-strong). It doesn't get much cleaner than that for a big wave day. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Saturday the 22nd morning is another good one with a clean 7ft SSW swell and a 12 mph offshore wind. The energy is 3072. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for Twilight Beach, and the wind is perfect.

Things get messy again from Sunday the 23rd through to Tuesday the 25th, with strong onshore winds and rain. Tuesday the 25th does see a drop in size, down to 5ft, but it's clean with a 16 mph offshore. Energy drops to 754 (weak), but it’s a good option for a smaller, cleaner session.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a promising window on Sunday the 30th of August. The swell is 6ft from the SSW, period jumps to a very long 17 seconds, and the wind is a light 6-9 mph cross-off. The energy is 2097 (moderate), and it's described as excellent for experienced surfers. That's a promising long-range call, but less certain.

The rest of the first week of September is mostly blown out or marginal, with a small clean window on Thursday the 3rd of September with a 6ft SW swell and light cross-shore winds, but the energy is low at 980 (weak). Overall, the best of the best is clearly Friday the 21st of August morning.

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.
