The Lowdown

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

We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but it’s not all about the size, it’s about picking the right windows. The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no shock to the system there.

The first real action kicks off on Friday morning, July 24th. Twilight Beach is looking clean with a 6ft SSW swell, a period of 13 seconds, and a light offshore breeze from the NNW. That’s going to be a very fun, rippable size. The energy is strong (1127), so there’s some push behind it. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon, with the swell dropping a touch to 5ft, so Friday is a solid all-rounder.

Saturday, July 25th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is cross-off and a little smaller at 5ft, but the afternoon swings back to a clean offshore with a 5ft SSW swell – that’s a good session for the later hours.

Sunday, July 26th is a write-off. The wind is howling from the NNW at 35 km/h, and while it’s offshore, it’s too punchy for the wave quality. The energy is still moderate, but the forecast is poor. Skip it.

Now, Monday, July 27th gets big. We’re looking at a 10ft SW swell, but the wind is a nasty cross-onshore, making it lumpy and messy. The energy is huge (4056), but it’s not fun for paddling. This one is for the experts only, and even then, it’s not great.

Tuesday, July 28th is still big but the wind improves. The morning is 10ft with an onshore wind, which is marginal. The afternoon drops slightly to 8ft, and the wind goes light cross-onshore. Still, a big swell for this break.

Wednesday, July 29th is a standout. The morning brings a 7ft SSW swell, a 13-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the NNE. This is the sweet spot – solid size, clean, and the energy is very strong (2261). This is the best of the first week. The afternoon is a bit smaller and cross-onshore, so get in early.

Thursday, July 30th is more of a cruiser day. 6ft, long period (15 seconds), and clean in the morning. Nice, but not a standout.

Friday, July 31st is the real highlight of the whole forecast. Morning: 7ft SSW swell, 17-second period, light offshore wind, and the energy is pumping (2968). Afternoon: 8ft, 16 seconds, cross-off wind, and even more energy (3676). This is a long-period groundswell that will be a dream at Twilight Beach, particularly as a point-style setup. Paddling out will be easier with those long gaps between sets. This is the best session on offer.

Saturday, August 1st is too big. The morning is 12ft, and while the wind is light and clean, the swell is flagged as being too big for this break. That’s only for the brave and experienced. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 10ft, but cross-onshore. Not a recommendation.

Sunday, August 2nd is back in the sweet zone. Morning: 7ft, 15 seconds, offshore wind. Excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is still strong (2094). The afternoon is a bit choppier.

From Monday, August 3rd through to Thursday, August 6th, there’s a long run of moderate to big surf, but the wind is unreliable. Some days have offshore or cross-off winds, but the size fluctuates between 5ft and 10ft, and the energy is strong. The best of this stretch is Wednesday, August 5th morning with a 6ft, 17-second swell and a fresh offshore, but the afternoon blows up to 10ft with a cross-onshore wind. Thursday, August 6th is big (10ft) and cross-off, but the wind is strong (35-40 km/h), so it’s a wild one.

Friday, August 7th is still cross-off but the swell drops to 7-7ft. The wind is still strong, so it’s clean but gnarly.

Saturday, August 8th is the end of the line. The wind is pure cross-shore at 40 km/h, and the swell is dropping to 5-6ft. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Poor conditions.

So, to wrap it up: Friday, July 31st is the best day without a doubt – that long-period, clean, 7-8ft swell is money. Wednesday, July 29th morning is a close second. The rest of the window has waves, but you need to pick your wind windows carefully.

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.
