The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, breaking down the 16-day surf outlook for Twilight Beach in good ol' feet and knots, 'cause that's how some of you roll. There's a slow start, so don't rush to the beach just yet.

Right now, the water's sitting at 62°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The immediate outlook is grim. Monday the 14th brings 8ft swell from the SSW, but a 30 km/h cross-onshore wind from the SE makes it a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined energy is a strong 2833, but it's wasted. That pattern sticks through Tuesday and Wednesday—cloudy, moderate winds, and surf that's just not working. You'll see combined energy between 1205 and 2291, but it's all for nothing.

There's a big gap in quality here. Thursday the 17th morning has a clean offshore wind from the N at 25 km/h, but the swell drops to just 4ft. It's clean, but tiny. The afternoon has 3ft with offshore NNE winds—decent for a quiet, slow session if you just want to get wet. Friday the 18th is more of the same: small 2ft to 3ft SSW swell with clean winds, but no power behind it. You'll get a few lined-up waves on the longer period, but nothing special.

Saturday the 19th brings a massive jump—15ft SW swell in the afternoon—but it's blowing 25 km/h cross-onshore from the WSW, and the combined energy is a whopping 5415. That's a strong, messy, choppy beast. Not for paddle surfing; this looks way more interesting for kite surfing. Sunday the 20th is a bit quieter with swell around 4ft to 6ft, but winds are still messy. Not ideal.

Now for the real action. Monday the 21st has a 7ft SSW swell with gentle 15 km/h cross-shore winds and moderate energy of 2005. It's marginal but cleaner. The standout for experts is Thursday the 24th of September. We've got a monstrous 12ft SSW swell with a very long 17-second period—that's proper groundswell, with combined energy at an enormous 7196. The wind is a moderate 25 km/h cross-shore from the W, keeping it clean with a little cross-chop. But the forecast says it's too big for this break. This is expert-only, heavy stuff. The long period means it'll wrap nicely for a point or reef, but may close out on the beach. Not for the timid.

The true gem is the morning of Sunday the 27th of September. Glassy, flat calm, and a solid 7ft SSW swell with 14-second period. Combined energy is 1670, which is strong, but the glassy conditions make it absolutely pristine—smooth, clean waves. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Get out there.

After that, Monday the 28th is okay with 7ft SSW swell, but a light cross-onshore wind and a very long 17-second period. Tuesday the 29th of September is the last real highlight: 8ft SSW swell, with a gentle 15 km/h offshore wind from the N, keeping it clean. Combined energy is 2896, and it's described as excellent for experienced surfers. That's your top pick.

So, first week is a bust for quality. The second week has juice, but it's for the brave. The two big ones: Thursday the 24th September for experts on a massive swell, and Tuesday the 29th September for a cleaner, still heavy session. Crowds at Twilight Beach can be an issue sometimes, so get there early.

Rusty out.

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.
