The Lowdown
Alright, let’s keep it real for the imperial version now.
We start on Wednesday, August 26th with a clean 7ft SW groundswell, a long 15-second period, and a nice cross-off breeze from the NW. The water’s 62°F, totally average for this time of year. The combined energy is pumping at 1973. This is one for experienced surfers only. The swell direction is dead on from the SW, which is what this break wants. Wednesday afternoon turns onshore and goes bad.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are both blown out by strong cross-onshore winds. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 29th is small – 3ft in the morning with a crazy long 21-second period, but it’s just not got the height. Afternoon bumps to 3ft but still marginal.
Sunday the 30th morning is a real standout: 8ft SSW swell with a 19-second period and a cross-off NNE breeze. The water is clean, the energy is massive at 4121. This is powerful groundswell with plenty of punch. Not for beginners. The direction is SSW, very close to optimum. Crowds can show up when it’s this good.
Monday the 31st morning is still clean with 6ft and a cross-off wind, but energy drops to 1765. Afternoon turns bad.
From Tuesday September 1st through Thursday the 3rd, it’s mostly onshore junk. Not much to report.
Friday the 4th has a big 10ft SSW swell but it’s cross-onshore and lumpy. Kite surfers might like it, but for us it’s a no.
Saturday the 5th morning is another excellent window: 8ft SSW swell with a light cross-off WNW breeze at only 6 mph. Clean, powerful, with 2553 energy.
Sunday the 6th morning is even cleaner: 8ft SSW swell and a pure offshore north wind at 6 mph. Glassy, beautiful, with 2523 energy. One of the best of the stretch.
Monday the 7th morning is the absolute gem. True glass: NNE breeze at just 3 mph, 8ft SSW swell with a very long 19-second period, and combined energy hitting 5244. This is going to be a serious groundswell with long, clean lines. Experienced surfers only. This is the session to plan around.
Tuesday the 8th morning still has that clean offshore wind, 7ft SSW swell, and good energy. Afternoon drops to 5ft but stays clean.
Wednesday the 9th morning gets huge – 13ft SW swell with a short 12-second period and strong cross-shore wind. Energy is 4545. This is for experts only, and it might be too much. Afternoon hits 16ft with onshore wind – total chaos.
Thursday the 10th is all blown out by strong SE winds. 10ft swell but ugly.
Stay sharp, pick your windows, and I’ll see you in the water.

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.
