Twilight Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, grab your steamer and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and we’ve got a full two-week-plus outlook for one break: Twilight Beach. This is a fairly consistent intermediate-level spot, fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s going to dish out some serious, heavy groundswell over the period. The water temp is about 62°F, right around average for this time of year, so nothing freaky there.

The first few days are your window, but it starts big. Tuesday, July 7th morning we’re already looking at a solid 7 ft of SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period. That’s a lot of energy pushing in (3744) – not a day for beginners, intermediate crew will be in their element. Wind is a clean cross-off from the NE at 9 mph, so the surface should be pretty tidy. The afternoon swell bumps up to 10 ft but goes a bit cross, still rideable for the skilled. Wednesday the 8th is a beauty – morning offshore from the N at 6 mph, 6 ft of that same long-period SSW groundswell, and only 1631 for energy which is more manageable. Clean, world-class potential. Thursday morning is still okay with a cross-off, but the direction swings a little more SW and the period drops a touch. That afternoon sees a glassy window with 5 ft SW swell and perfect conditions for a late session – that’s a real standout for the week, just pure magic if you can sneak out.

Friday the 10th is a write-off. Dirty cross-onshore wind, choppy, poor conditions. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th stay messy with moderate cross-onshore winds and lumpy seas – the swell is still there, but the quality is shot.

Now hold onto your board for Monday, July 13th. Early morning it goes dead calm – glassy as it gets – but the swell hits 12 ft of SSW groundswell with a 17-second period (energy 7368). That is way oversized for this break; it’s expert territory only, and even then, it might be too much. The forecast suggests it’s too big, so unless you’re charging, give it a miss.

By Tuesday the 14th, we’re back in the sweet spot. Morning offshore from the NNE at 9 mph, 7 ft of SSW swell, 14-second period – solid, clean, and powerful but not out of control. This is your next best bet. Wednesday the 15th morning keeps the offshore flow, though the wind picks up to 19 mph – it’s a fresh breeze, but it’s offshore, so the waves will be groomed. The swell holds at 7 ft.

Looking into the second week, things get more uncertain but still big. Thursday the 16th afternoon cleans up nicely with a gentle offshore and 8 ft of SW groundswell – that’s a promising one. Friday the 17th morning is a monster again: 15 ft of SW swell (16249 energy), with a moderate offshore. Way too big for all but the most skilled. The 22nd finishes the run with onshore slop – poor conditions.

The absolute standouts in this entire run are Wednesday afternoon (July 8th) for that glassy perfection, and Tuesday morning (July 14th) for the clean, manageable power. If you’re an experienced surfer, get on those. Beginners should skip everything after the first couple of days.

Rusty.
