The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

It’s a bit of a slow start, but hang tight. The first real chance to paddle out comes on Thursday morning, September 3rd, and honestly, it’s the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a solid 12 ft swell rolling in from the SSW, and with a period of 15 seconds, that’s some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is a massive 5037 (strong to very strong), so there’s plenty of power. The wind is light offshore from the N, and the call is clean. The report says it might be too big for this break, but for an experienced surfer at Twilight Beach, this is the session to circle on the calendar. It’s a fairly exposed spot, so it’ll handle that size, and the water temp is sitting at 62°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Thursday afternoon backs it up with a 10 ft SSW swell and a still-long 15-second period. The wind shifts light offshore from the NNW, keeping it clean. The energy is still high at 4454. This is your second best window, but it’s a close second.

Now, Friday September 4th is a total write-off. The wind cranks up from the W at 28 mph and then SW at 25 mph, turning the 13 ft swell into a messy, blown-out mess. The score is a zero. Leave the board at home.

Saturday September 5th sees the swell drop to 10 ft in the morning, with a cross-offshore wind from the NW. It’s clean, but nothing special. The real treat is Saturday afternoon: a 8 ft SSW swell, glassy conditions with a light SE breeze at 3 mph, and a combined energy of 3120. It’s clean, it’s glassy, and it’s got good shape. This is a solid session for the more experienced crew.

Sunday September 6th and Monday September 7th are a total loss. We’re talking 15 ft and 10 ft swells, but with strong onshore winds from the S and SSE, gusting up to 31 mph. It’s a washing machine, not a surf break. The beach setup here is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days. The onshore winds kill the quality all the way through Tuesday September 8th as well.

After a rough patch, Thursday morning September 10th offers a breather. A 5 ft SSW swell, light offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, and clean conditions. The energy is down to 992 (weak), but it’s a nice, small, clean wave for a quiet paddle.

We get another standout in the second week. Sunday morning September 13th serves up a 6 ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, light offshore wind from the N, and clean conditions. The energy is 1490 (moderate). It’s a good, clean, long-period groundswell that will line up nicely.

Then, Wednesday morning September 16th is a proper late-season gem. A 4 ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 20 seconds – that’s some serious, pure groundswell. The wind is offshore from the N at 12 mph, and the energy is 1969. It’s clean, it’s lined up, and it’s a dream for a point or reef. This is the other standout for the more tuned-in surfer.

So, to wrap it up: the best on offer is Thursday morning September 3rd with that big, clean 12 ft groundswell, and the sleeper hit is Wednesday morning September 16th with the long-period 4 ft swell. The first week is a mixed bag of big surf and wind, but the second week has a few calmer, cleaner windows.

Stay salty,
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.
