Twilight Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's break it down for the next couple of weeks at Twilight Beach. There's some real good surf to be had if you time it right, but plenty of blown-out days too.

We start off this Sunday, July 5th, with a solid SSW groundswell already rolling in. The combined energy is strong (1459), with the swell at 6ft on a long 15-second period. It's a bit much for the beginners, but the wind is a clean offshore out of the NNE, so the lines will be groomed nicely. The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.

Monday, July 6th, is looking like a beauty. The swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the period is still a lovely 15 seconds, and the wind goes practically glassy from the NE at only 3 mph. Conditions will be smooth as silk. The combined energy sits at a solid moderate (974). This is a top pick for the start of the week.

Now, Tuesday July 7th is the one for the experienced crew. The swell jumps to 8ft in the morning, and the combined energy is very strong (4001). The wind is a clean cross-offshore out of the NE. This is a standout for the bigger-wave surfers. It gets even bigger in the afternoon, pushing 10ft, but the wind swings more side-on, so the morning is the time to go.

Wednesday July 8th holds a nice 6ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds and strong energy (2045). Thursday morning, July 9th, starts okay but the wind shifts onshore by the afternoon, turning it into a choppy mess, ending the first good run.

There's a big dead spell after that. The swell gets too big, and the wind turns nasty and onshore, making it a total mess from late Thursday through the weekend and into Monday July 13th. If you're into kiteboarding, the setup from Saturday July 11th with 15ft swell and strong onshore wind might look fun, but it's a write-off for a surf.

We get a small window on Tuesday July 14th morning. The wind goes light offshore out of the north, and the swell is a powerful 8ft on a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is strong (3669). This is a big, clean groundswell, but with that long period it's going to be a bit straight on the beach—better for the experts looking for a challenge.

The outlook gets messy again after that. Wednesday July 15th morning has a nice 7ft SSW swell with a clean offshore breeze, but it's a one-off before the onshore winds and another massive surge of swell ruins it. The very end of the forecast, Sunday July 19th, has a huge 12ft SSW swell predicted with clean winds, but at that size, it's just too big for this spot.

Best Bets: For clean, fun waves, hit Monday morning, July 6th. For the big-wave hunters, you absolutely want to be there on Tuesday morning, July 7th. Both offer clean conditions and solid, long-period SSW energy.
