G’day, Rusty here. Looks like we’ve got a solid run of south swell heading into Twilight Beach over the next couple of weeks, but it’s not all smooth sailing. The water’s sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real standout window lands on Tuesday 14 July morning. We’ve got a clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the north. The wave energy is strong (3118), and for experienced surfers, this is as good as it gets. The swell direction is right on the money for the break. Crowds are possible, so get in early.

Before that, Sunday 12 July and Monday 13 July are messy. Sunday morning sees 10ft SSW swell but with a cross-wind and a 16-second period, creating a cross-chop. The energy is pumping (5162), but the conditions are marginal. Monday morning is even bigger at 13ft, but it’s simply too big for this spot.

Wednesday 15 July afternoon offers a quieter option: 5ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, light offshore from the north-northeast, and clean. The energy is moderate (1520), and it’s a good call for a more relaxed session.

Thursday 16 July morning is fresh offshore from the north at 19 mph, with a 8ft SSW swell and a 16-second period. The energy is strong (2550), but it’s a bit on the big side for intermediates. The afternoon is cleaner with a moderate offshore breeze and 7ft swell.

After a brief drop in size Friday 17 July, the swell ramps up again from Saturday 18 July. That morning brings a 8ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period, but the wind is howling from the west-northwest at 25 mph, creating a cross-off breeze. The energy is massive (5612), but it’s wild out there. The afternoon is worse with strong cross-winds and messy chop.

Sunday 19 July stays big with 10ft SW swell, but the wind eases. Monday 20 July morning is the next strong standout: 10ft SW swell with a 12-second period, glassy offshore from the north-northeast at just 3 mph, and clean. The energy is strong (2402), and for experienced surfers, it’s excellent.

The second week gets gnarly. Wednesday 22 July morning sees 12ft SSW swell, and the afternoon blows up to 15ft with energy over 13000—way too big for this break. Thursday 23 July holds at 13ft, and Friday 24 July is blown out with near gale-force winds. Saturday 25 July and Sunday 26 July stay big, with Sunday morning hitting 18ft and onshore winds, making it a total mess. Monday 27 July eases back to 10ft, but the window is closing.

There’s a big gap of several days where the swell is either too big or the wind is too strong for paddle surfing. If you’re a kite surfer, the setups on Saturday 18 July and Sunday 26 July look more interesting than anything for a surfboard.

Best bet: Tuesday 14 July morning, hands down. Clean, long-period groundswell, light offshore, and the right direction. Monday 20 July morning is a close second.

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.
