The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking.
Right out of the gate, we've got a serious swell on the cards, but it's a double-edged sword. For the first few days, it's just too much juice and the wind isn't playing ball. You've gotta be patient for the clean stuff.
Starting off Thursday, September 3rd, the swell is huge. The morning has a clean offshore wind, but we're talking a solid 12ft wave from the SSW with a massive 5037 combined energy. It's a big water day, only for the real experienced guys. The afternoon stays big at about 10ft, with a cross-offshore breeze. Still a lot of energy (4454).
Friday the 4th through the weekend is a total mess. Strong winds are going to turn the ocean into a washing machine. Don't even think about it.
But here's the standout moment of the whole 16-day window: Thursday afternoon, September 10th. The swell has dropped to a very manageable 5ft from the SSW, and the energy is down to a friendly 1165. The best part? It's glassy. A flat, east wind at just 3 mph. That is the definition of perfect conditions. That long 15-second period groundswell will have plenty of grunt. This is the session to circle on your calendar.
We get another taste of the good life on Friday afternoon, September 11th. A 5ft SSW swell and again, glassy, zero wind. It'll be clean and fun, just expect a bit of a wait between those long-period sets.
The second week gets a little more mixed, but some good windows open up for the big-wave crew. Look at Monday morning, September 14th: a 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period and a light offshore breeze. That's a powerful, clean line-up for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate at 2640.
Then Tuesday morning, September 15th, brings 6ft from the SSW with a gentle offshore wind and clean conditions. The energy sits at 1841. A solid, quality session for intermediate to advanced surfers.
So here’s the takeaway: sit tight through the early blowout, then lock in for Thursday, September 10th afternoon. That glassy, clean swell is the best wave you're going to see this whole forecast. Everything else is either a big-wave session or a bit too choppy to get excited about.
Stay safe out there.
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.
