The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
So, Twilight Beach kicks off with a few days of so-so, onshore wind junk. Water temp is around 62°F, nothing wild for the season. Monday the 31st through Wednesday the 2nd of September gives us 7ft to 8ft of SSW swell, but it’s all cross-on and choppy. The combined energy reads moderate to strong (1897 to 4238). Not worth suiting up.
Thursday the 3rd of September is the first real change. The swell jumps to 12ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 15 seconds. That’s big, clean groundswell energy (4644 combined). The wind goes offshore from the N, so it’ll look glassy. But 12ft is pushing the limits here – this is for experienced crew only. It’s labeled as too big for the break. Friday and Saturday get even bigger, with 13ft to 16ft and strong winds. That’s kite-surf stuff.
The standout, the one I’m stoked on, is Thursday the 10th of September. We’ve got 10ft of SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind is glassy in the morning. The combined energy is strong (3968), but with zero wind, the waves will be clean, lined-up, and powerful. It’s still too big for beginners, but for intermediate and above, that’s the session. Crowds are possible – sometimes an issue here. The swell direction is right on the money.
After that, from the 11th to the 15th of September, the swell drops to 6ft to 10ft, but the wind gets messy again – cross-on or onshore. The periods stay long (14 to 16 seconds), but the quality is marginal. The combined energy drops into the moderate range (1352 to 2639). The 15th of September has a clean offshore wind from the N, but at 6ft, it’s small. Could be a fun little wave for the right board.
Bottom line: Thursday the 10th is your day. Get out there early.
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.
