Twilight Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. First up, we’re looking at Twilight Beach. The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is spot on for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things kick off proper on Wednesday the 5th. There’s a clean 7ft SW swell rolling in with a 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s got some punch to it, with the energy reading 2232, so it’s got a bit of push. The waves will be lining up nicely for the experienced crew. It’s a touch big for the learning crowd, but the conditions are clean.

Thursday the 6th is where it starts to get really interesting. The swell jumps to a solid 10ft from the SW, still with that long 16-second period. The wind is offshore at 12 mph, which is going to keep the face nice and clean. The energy is pumping at 4176. This is some proper groundswell. The afternoon is glassy with an 8ft SSW swell, and it’s going to be smooth. This is a standout.

Friday the 7th keeps the size at 10ft, but the wind is a bit more cross-off, so it won't be as perfect as Thursday. Still, it's surfable and the energy remains strong. The swell direction is SSW, which is right in the sweet spot for this break.

Now, here’s where it gets messy. The weekend, the 8th and 9th, is a write-off. The wind is going to be howling from the WSW, up to 31 mph, with a cross-onshore flow. The swell is jumping up to 13ft, and even 18ft, but it’s going to be blown out and lumpy. The energy readings are through the roof, 8449 and even 17213, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. This is not a paddle-surfing setup. With that much swell and that wind direction, you’re looking at a kite-surfing session, not a clean wave.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th, the swell is huge, up to 20ft, but the wind is still onshore and strong. The energy is massive, 19541 at one point, but it's just too big and messy. This is for experts only, and even then, it looks like a battle. The wave comment says it all—too big for this break.

The swell starts to ease Wednesday the 12th, down to 13ft, but it’s still big and the wind is cross-shore. It’s not great. Thursday the 13th has a pulse of 16ft with a cross-off wind, but it’s still overpowering for the spot.

Now, Friday the 14th is interesting. The morning is glassy with an 12ft SSW swell. The wind is dead, not a breath. This is a good window, but the size is still on the limit. The afternoon sees the swell drop to 10ft, with a cross-on breeze, so it gets a bit bumpy.

Saturday the 15th is a return to form. The swell has dropped to a more manageable 8ft from the SW, and the wind is offshore at 16 mph. It’s clean, and the energy is still decent at 2810. This is a good one, a solid pick for the weekend.

Sunday the 16th is a bit windier, but it’s still offshore. The swell is around 7ft to 8ft, so it’s a bit smaller, but it’s clean. Another good day.

Then, the cycle repeats. Monday the 17th sees the swell jump back up to 13ft with a strong cross-onshore wind. That’s blown out again. Tuesday the 18th has an 12ft swell, but it’s cleaner. The afternoon looks better with a 10ft SSW swell and light cross-offshore breeze. That’s a good one.

The final days, Wednesday the 19th and Thursday the 20th, are a mixed bag. Wednesday morning has a clean 8ft swell, and the afternoon is glassy at 8ft. That’s a good way to end things. Thursday the 20th is smaller, around 7ft to 8ft, but the wind turns onshore, so it gets a bit choppy.

So, the two standouts for the whole period are Thursday the 6th and Saturday the 15th. Thursday has the size and the wind, and Saturday is just a clean, fun size. The long-range stuff, like Tuesday the 18th, looks promising, but we’ve got a bit more time to see how it shapes up.

Rusty out.
