Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's break it down for the next couple of weeks at Twilight Beach. There's some real good surf to be had if you time it right, but plenty of blown-out days too.
We start off this Sunday, July 5th, with a solid SSW groundswell already rolling in. The combined energy is strong (1459), with the swell at 6ft on a long 15-second period. It's a bit much for the beginners, but the wind is a clean offshore out of the NNE, so the lines will be groomed nicely. The water temp is sitting at 62°F, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year.
Monday, July 6th, is looking like a beauty. The swell drops a touch to 5ft, but the period is still a lovely 15 seconds, and the wind goes practically glassy from the NE at only 3 mph. Conditions will be smooth as silk. The combined energy sits at a solid moderate (974). This is a top pick for the start of the week.
Now, Tuesday July 7th is the one for the experienced crew. The swell jumps to 8ft in the morning, and the combined energy is very strong (4001). The wind is a clean cross-offshore out of the NE. This is a standout for the bigger-wave surfers. It gets even bigger in the afternoon, pushing 10ft, but the wind swings more side-on, so the morning is the time to go.
Wednesday July 8th holds a nice 6ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds and strong energy (2045). Thursday morning, July 9th, starts okay but the wind shifts onshore by the afternoon, turning it into a choppy mess, ending the first good run.
There's a big dead spell after that. The swell gets too big, and the wind turns nasty and onshore, making it a total mess from late Thursday through the weekend and into Monday July 13th. If you're into kiteboarding, the setup from Saturday July 11th with 15ft swell and strong onshore wind might look fun, but it's a write-off for a surf.
We get a small window on Tuesday July 14th morning. The wind goes light offshore out of the north, and the swell is a powerful 8ft on a very long 16-second period. The combined energy is strong (3669). This is a big, clean groundswell, but with that long period it's going to be a bit straight on the beach—better for the experts looking for a challenge.
The outlook gets messy again after that. Wednesday July 15th morning has a nice 7ft SSW swell with a clean offshore breeze, but it's a one-off before the onshore winds and another massive surge of swell ruins it. The very end of the forecast, Sunday July 19th, has a huge 12ft SSW swell predicted with clean winds, but at that size, it's just too big for this spot.
Best Bets: For clean, fun waves, hit Monday morning, July 6th. For the big-wave hunters, you absolutely want to be there on Tuesday morning, July 7th. Both offer clean conditions and solid, long-period SSW energy.

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.
