The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming.
The big picture: we’ve got a solid run of SW groundswells, but the wind is going to be the main player. For a lot of the forecast, it’s either onshore or just too strong, so we’ve got to pick our windows carefully. The water temp is 62°, which is right about average for the season.
The standout is Monday morning, July 20th, at Twilight Beach. Clean 7ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and a light offshore from the NNW. The water will be glassy, the energy is solid (1464), and it’s a good size for an intermediate surfer. This is the one to get out for.
Thursday morning, July 23rd, is another one to mark. The swell is 8ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and with an ENE breeze at just 3 mph, it’s going to be glassy clean. Wave energy is pumping at 2989, so there’s plenty of push. This one is for the experienced crew – serious power.
Wednesday afternoon, July 29th, is a bit of a sleeper. The swell drops to 6ft from the SSW, but we’ve got a clean 9 mph offshore from the north. The period is 14 seconds, and the energy is 1839. A solid mid-week option.
Now, there are days when the swell gets big – over 10ft – and the wind is onshore or cross-on. Wednesday, July 22nd and Sunday, August 2nd are prime examples. The swell is huge, but the wind is messy. For a beach break setup like this, that’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one. The waves will be lumpy and choppy.
There’s a big gap of poor conditions from Friday, July 31st through to Saturday, August 1st morning, with strong onshore winds and blown-out surf. But Saturday afternoon, August 1st, is a real surprise – glassy conditions, 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, and 3003 energy. That’s a beautiful clean window.
Into the second week, things get more uncertain. Monday, August 3rd, has an 8ft SSW swell but with a strong 22 mph cross-off wind. It’s clean, but the wind is howling, so it’ll be a battle. Confidence is lower this far out.
Overall, the best bet is Monday the 20th for a clean, fun session, and Thursday the 23rd for the bigger, cleaner sets. Get out there and make the most of it.
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.
