Alright, gather ‘round. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Twilight Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some real gems if you’re patient.
We’ve got a run of surf stretching from Friday, July 3rd right through to Saturday, July 18th. No gaps to speak of, but the quality takes a serious dive in the middle.
The water temperature is sitting at 62° – that’s about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about.
Let’s start with the standout. Friday afternoon, July 3rd, kicks things off with a beauty. Swell is a solid 7 ft from the SSW, and the period is a long 14 seconds – proper groundswell. The wind is dead calm, glassy as a mirror. The energy is strong, reading 2485. This is excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to aim for.
Saturday, July 4th, holds onto that SW groundswell at 7 ft to 8 ft, with a very long period of 16 to 17 seconds. The wind is cross-off, so the surf will be clean, but the tide conditions look a bit questionable. The energy jumps right up to 3196 in the morning and 4580 in the afternoon – that’s a lot of power. It’s still worth a paddle, but it won’t be as perfect as Friday.
Sunday, July 5th, the swell drops a touch to 6 ft in the morning and 5 ft in the afternoon. A fresh offshore wind from the N keeps it clean. The energy is down to 1329 and 841 – moderate. Good conditions for a cruisy session for the intermediate surfer.
Monday morning, July 6th, is another glassy one with 5 ft SSW swell (974 energy). It’ll be smooth. The afternoon picks up to 6 ft (1528 energy) but a cross-on shore wind makes it a bit choppy.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting for the big-wave crew. Tuesday morning, July 7th, we see a solid 10 ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period. The combined energy is a massive 5296. Wind is a light cross-off, so it will be clean. This is 100% for experts only – that’s a heavy, powerful lineup.
Wednesday, July 8th, still has a nice 7 ft swell (1722 energy) with a light offshore wind. Clean, solid sets.
Thursday, July 9th through Friday morning, July 10th, the swell backs off to the 5 ft to 5 ft range, but winds stay offshore or cross-off, keeping things tidy. Energy is moderate, around 690 to 923.
Then the weather turns. Friday afternoon, July 10th, the wind swings onshore at 28 mph with 8 ft of messy swell. Saturday, July 11th, is a write-off. We’ve got a big 13 ft to 15 ft SSW swell, but it’s crossed-up and onshore with a strong breeze. The energy readings are huge – 14072 and 16268 – but the conditions are poor. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Sunday, July 12th through Tuesday, July 14th, the swell stays big at 10 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is onshore or cross-on. It’s going to be lumpy and tough. Not for the faint-hearted.
We finally get a window again on Wednesday morning, July 15th. The swell drops to a manageable 4 ft (877 energy) with a light cross-off breeze. Clean and small.
The real long-range promise shows up on Thursday, July 16th. Morning brings a 6 ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, cross-off wind, and clean conditions. The energy is 1633, which is solid. This one’s a promising call for the second week.
Friday, July 17th, and Saturday, July 18th, we’ve got continuing 6 ft to 7 ft SSW swells. Friday morning has a fresh offshore breeze, and Saturday morning has a strong offshore breeze, so it’ll be clean and lined up.
So, to wrap it up: the single best session is Friday afternoon, July 3rd. For the experts, Tuesday morning, July 7th, is the one to mark on the calendar. The rest of the week has some decent windows in between the lumps.
Stay sharp, keep your wetsuit zipped, and don’t get caught inside on those big days.
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.
