The Lowdown

IMPERIAL

Alright, listen up, crew. Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it’s a tale of two halves. The first week is a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of absolute gems to lock in. The second week looks promising, but you’ll need to keep your fingers crossed and check the charts closer to the time.

The standout spot for the whole period is Twilight Beach. It’s fairly exposed to the swell and loves a good SW push, which is exactly what we’ve got coming. The water temp is sitting at 61°F, which is about average for this time of year, so a 3/2mm wetsuit will be your best mate.

Now, let’s get into it. The real action kicks off on Friday, 21 August. The morning session is a thing of beauty. You’re looking at a solid 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period pushing in. The wind is dead calm – glassy, zero chop. This is the kind of start to the day that makes the whole grind worthwhile. The wave energy is pumping at 3384, so it’s got some serious muscle. This is for experienced surfers though; it’s not a beginner’s playground.

Saturday, 22 August, is another cracker. The morning sees a 7ft SSW swell, but the wind is blowing offshore from the N at 12 mph. That means clean, lined-up waves. The energy is still strong (2997). It’s a bit more manageable size-wise, but still a solid intermediate session.

The dream run continues into Tuesday, 25 August. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell with a 13-second period, and that offshore NNW wind at 16 mph will groom it perfectly. The afternoon session is even cleaner, with a light NE breeze and a 6ft SSW swell. Both sessions are in the “very good” category, so pick your time.

Now, the second week has a few tantalising long-range calls. Sunday, 30 August, the morning is looking very interesting. A 4ft SSW swell, but with a massive 19-second period, and a light WNW cross-offshore breeze. That’s a recipe for long, clean lines. The wave energy is still moderate (1583), but that period is exceptional. And then Monday, 31 August, the morning is clean again with a 6ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, offshore wind from the W. For the advanced crew, Tuesday, 1 September, the afternoon session is a standout – 8ft of SW swell, clean, with a light NE breeze. It’s a late call, but it’s got potential written all over it.

Be aware, there’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 23rd to the 24th, and a messy period from the 26th through the 29th, where the wind is howling onshore. Don’t even bother during that stretch. The final few days of the forecast (2nd to 4th Sept) are a write-off for quality surfing as the wind turns ugly again.

Stay safe, read the water, and I’ll see you out there.

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.
