The Lowdown

Alright surfers, ol' Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for Twilight Beach.

Right off the bat, the first real opportunity to paddle out hits us on the morning of Thursday, August 6th. We’ve got a solid 3.0m (10ft) SSW groundswell, and that period is a very long 16 seconds, so there’s plenty of energy behind it (combined energy of 4021). The wind is a clean offshore from the north, and the water temp is sitting at a normal 62°F for this time of year. This is quality stuff, but at 10ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers—this one’s a beast. The break is fairly consistent, so it'll be worth the wait between those long-period sets. The afternoon looks similar but drops to 2.5m (8ft), still clean with that offshore breeze.

Friday the 7th gets a bit messy. The swell is still pumping at 3.0m (10ft), but that wind swings west and turns cross-shore, so the face gets a bit lumpy. Morning is marginal, and the afternoon lightens up but still has a cross-shore bump.

Hold onto your boards, because Saturday the 8th is a write-off. We’ve got a near gale from the west at 31 mph whipping up 4.5m (15ft) of messy, blown-out surf. Sunday the 9th through to Sunday the 16th mostly sees the swell hanging between 2.3m (8ft) and a monstrous 6.0m (20ft), but the wind is all over the place. A lot of it is either too big, cross-shore, or cross-onshore, creating poor conditions. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 11th have swells predicted to be way too big for this break, so don't even think about it unless you're a pro with nothing to prove.

We get a little bit of a reprieve on Saturday, August 15th. The morning comes in clear with a 2.3m (8ft) SSW swell (combined energy of 2243) and a beautiful offshore northerly breeze. It's clean, it's manageable for the strong intermediates, and the swell direction matches the guide’s optimum. The afternoon stays clean with a lighter cross-off wind and 2.0m (7ft) waves. This is the standout window in the whole outlook.

After that, Sunday the 16th is a step down. The swell drops to 1.8m (6ft) but the wind is messy again. Monday and Tuesday, August 17th and 18th, are marginal with cross-off winds and a 1.8m to 2.5m (6ft to 8ft) swell. The light winds will keep it clean, but it’s nothing to write home about.

Wednesday the 19th looks like another day to sit out. Strong onshore winds and a 3.0m to 4.0m (10ft to 13ft) swell will turn it into a washing machine. Thursday the 20th sees the swell dropping back to 2.5m (8ft) with a clean cross-off wind in the morning, which is decent but still marginal. Friday the 21st is a tease—morning looks clean with light offshore winds and a 3.5m (12ft) swell, but it’s predicted to be too big for the break, so again, experts only.

So, to wrap it up, the absolute best on offer is the Thursday morning, August 6th, if you’ve got the skills, and the Saturday, August 15th for a cleaner, slightly smaller session.

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.
