The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down.
Only one break to talk about for the whole 16 days: Twilight Beach. It’s a fairly consistent intermediate spot, exposed to the swell, and likes it from the SW.
The start is rough. Sunday the 23rd is a total mess – onshore wind and poor surf. Monday the 24th isn’t much better, with a 2.5m swell but cross-onshore wind making it choppy.
Tuesday the 25th shows a little improvement with a cleaner morning, but the swell is only 1.7m and the energy is moderate. Not much to get excited about.
Wednesday the 26th morning is the first real standout. A clean 2.1m SW swell with a cross-off breeze from the NNW. The energy is strong and the period is 14 seconds, so those waves will have some power. Afternoon gets messier though.
Thursday the 27th and Friday the 28th are poor – strong cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions. Not worth paddling out.
Saturday the 29th stays poor.
Now, Sunday the 30th is the big one. Morning brings a 3.0m SSW groundswell with an 18-second period and clean conditions with a NE cross-off. The energy is massive – this is big, powerful stuff. Only for experienced surfers. The afternoon is just as good with a light offshore from the NNE and 2.5m swell. That’s the standout of the whole outlook.
Monday the 31st stays clean but the swell drops to 2.0m. Still decent.
Tuesday 1st September and Wednesday 2nd are mixed, but Wednesday afternoon shows a 2.5m SSW swell with a cross-shore breeze.
Thursday 3rd September morning is glassy with a 2.5m SSW swell – a beautiful window for experienced surfers.
Friday 4th September morning is clean again with a 2.1m SSW swell and a cross-off breeze from the NNE.
Saturday 5th September gets messy again.
Sunday 6th September has a huge 5.0m SW swell, but it’s too big for this break. Only for experts, and even then, it’s a maybe. Kite surfers might love it.
Monday 7th September is another big day with 5.5m swell and strong cross-onshore winds – too big and too messy.
So, the best windows are Wednesday 26th August morning, Sunday 30th August (both sessions), and Thursday 3rd September morning. The 30th is the big standout – big, clean, powerful groundswell. But remember, it’s only for experienced surfers.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year.
Stay stoked, but pick your windows.

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.
