The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty comin' at ya with the outlook for Twilight Beach. Let's get into it, mate.

We've got a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon for Twilight Beach over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are offering up some waves, but conditions are a real puzzle. The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, which is fine, but don't expect any tropical baths.

Sunday (August 16th) kicks off with a 1.3m SSW swell, period at 13 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the NE at 12 mph, so it'll be clean, but the wave comment says it's marginal. The combined energy is strong at (1173), but I'm not getting too excited just yet. By the afternoon the swell picks up to 1.8m from the SW with a very long 16-second period. That's a proper groundswell. The wind swings cross-shore from the East at 12 mph, which will put a bit of a chop on it.

Monday (August 17th) is where things start to look a bit better. The morning has a solid 1.9m SSW swell with a 19-second period – that's a *very* long period groundswell. The wind is a clean offshore from the NNE at 22 mph (fresh breeze), and the wave comment calls it excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is pumping at (2573). This is one of the better windows, but that long period at a beach break might make it a bit straight. The afternoon cleans up further with a moderate offshore breeze, a 1.7m SSW swell, and still excellent conditions for experienced folks.

Tuesday (August 18th) is a write-off. The wind turns onshore from the WSW, gusting to 22 mph in the morning, and the whole day is rated as poor or marginal. The swell is still solid at 1.9m, but the wind will make it lumpy and choppy. Don't even bother.

Wednesday (August 19th) is a bit of a tease. Clean conditions in the morning with a cross-off wind, but still marginal. The afternoon has a light cross-onshore breeze, so just small ripples on a 1.9m SW swell. Nothing special.

Now, here's where we get into the standout period. Thursday the 20th through Sunday the 30th of August is the main event. The swell spikes on Thursday (20th) with a 3.0m SW swell – that's big. The wind is messy, but the energy is off the charts at (8197) in the afternoon. This is not for beginners. It stays solidly big through Friday the 21st with a 3.5m SSW swell, and while the wind and tide are favorable, the wave comment says it's predicted to be too big for this break, especially for anyone who isn't an expert.

Saturday the 22nd is the best day of the whole run. The morning has a 3.0m SSW swell, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the North at 9 mph, making for clean waves. The wave comment says it's excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is still strong (3669). This is the one to circle. Sunday the 23rd and beyond start to drop in size but turn messy with onshore winds.

Looking further out, Monday the 31st of August morning has a nice 2.0m SSW swell with a moderate offshore from the NNW. It's clean and rated excellent for experienced surfers. That's a promising end to the window.

The gaps? Well, you've got a few days like Tuesday the 25th and Thursday the 28th where the conditions are just a mess, but the solid swell doesn't really let up. It’s more about dodging the bad wind. The biggest standout is Saturday, August 22nd. That's the one you want to be in the water for, but remember, 3.0m is big stuff – experts only. The other real highlight is Monday, August 31st for a cleaner, smaller (but still solid) session.

So there you have it. Keep your eyes on that Saturday the 22nd and Monday the 31st. The rest is either too windy, too big, or just mediocre. Stay safe out there.

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.
