The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Twilight Beach over the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is about 62°F, pretty normal for this time of year. The pattern is: lots of solid swell but the wind’s gonna be a nuisance most days. There’s a real dead start – the first few days are all choppy cross/onshore slop with bad tides, not worth suiting up.
Thursday September 3rd is where it turns on. Morning brings a 10ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period – that’s real energy (4394) – and a light cross-offshore northwest breeze. Clean waves. Swell’s a bit big at 10ft, so this one’s for the experienced crew. The afternoon stays clean with the same 10ft SSW swell (3983) and a moderate cross-off wind. That Thursday morning is the best of the first week.
Friday September 4th and Saturday the 5th are messy with strong winds – skip ’em. Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th has massive 13ft to almost 15ft SSW swell with onshore wind. Monday afternoon (September 7th) has a 13ft SSW groundswell at 17 seconds (10321 – very strong energy) but with light cross-on wind – the swell’s too big for this break. Tuesday the 8th morning is still oversized at 12ft.
Wednesday September 9th morning is a good one – offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph, clean, with a 8ft SSW swell (2118). Not huge, but that offshore wind makes it fun.
Thursday September 10th morning has a 10ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period (5296) and a fresh offshore NNW wind at 19 mph. That’s big and powerful – expert only. The afternoon is even cleaner with a moderate offshore north wind at 12 mph and 10ft at 17 seconds (5663). That’s the second standout.
After that, a lull with rain and poor wind on Friday the 11th. Saturday September 12th morning gives a surprise: glassy conditions with a tiny 4ft SW swell (968) and light east wind at 3 mph. Perfect for a longboard or beginners.
Monday September 14th morning is a gem – glassy again, with an 8ft SSW groundswell at 18 seconds (4929). That’s long-period, groundswell, glassy – incredible combo. Only for confident surfers because 18-second swell on a beach break can be a bit straight.
Wednesday September 16th morning has clean offshore NNE wind at 6 mph with a 7ft SSW swell (1770). A tidy session to finish.
Best of the whole run: Thursday September 3rd morning for clean, powerful surf, and Thursday September 10th afternoon for strong offshore wind and serious groundswell.
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.
