The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up at Twilight Beach.

We've got a bit of a mixed bag on our hands. The first real chance to get wet won't be until this Friday morning, the 11th of September. The overall pattern is a series of pulses of good energy, but the wind is going to be our arch enemy for most of the run.

To start, Friday morning (11th September) is your best early bet. We're looking at a solid 5ft swell from the SSW, and it's got some serious grunt behind it – the combined energy is pushing 1305 (moderate wave energy). The water temp is sitting at 62°, which is about average for this time of year. The real treat is the NNE wind blowing at 9 mph, keeping things offshore and clean. It’s setting up for some very good surf conditions.

Now, don't get too excited for the rest of the first week. Friday afternoon gets messy with cross-onshore wind, and Saturday through Monday is a write-off. The wind either ruins it or the swell gets too big and bumpy. Monday the 14th sees a solid 8-10ft swell, but it's blown out.

The standouts are further out. The first true highlight is Saturday, the 19th of September. Saturday morning is actually too big at 13ft for this break, but Saturday afternoon? That’s where the magic is. The swell drops to a thumping 10ft from the SW, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind goes glassy – dead calm at 3 mph. That is a serious long-period groundswell, and for Twilight Beach, it’s going to be a special session for experienced surfers only. The combined energy is strong at 2679.

The other absolute standout is Tuesday morning, the 22nd of September. Again, glassy conditions with no wind out of the NW. There’s a powerful 10ft swell from the SSW (combined energy of 4304 – strong wave energy) rolling in. This is another one for the experts. There will be long gaps between sets with that period, which will make paddling out a bit easier, but the power is undeniable. The crowds? Expect them to be likely here, as it will be the best option by far.

There’s promising energy on the 24th and 25th, but the wind is the deciding factor. A massive SSW swell (over 13ft) shows up on Monday the 21st of September, but the wind is straight onshore. It’s too big anyway. Toward the end of the run, the morning of Saturday the 26th looks clean with a 6ft SSW swell, but it’s nothing compared to those glassy days.

So, to keep it simple: sit tight through the choppy junk this week. Your windows are Friday morning (11th) for a fun session, but the real standout days you need to circle on the calendar are Saturday afternoon (19th) and Tuesday morning (22nd). That’s where the quality is.

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.
