Twilight Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming our way at Twilight Beach. We’ve got one spot lighting up the forecast, so I’ll keep it real and tell you straight up when to grab your board.

The pattern starts with a solid pulse of swell rolling in on Friday the 14th. A big SW groundswell is set to pump in at a very long 16 seconds, pushing 10 foot. The combined energy is a whopping 5076 – that’s some serious grunt. This is big, powerful stuff. If you’re not an experienced surfer, stay on the sand for this one. The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Friday morning looks best, with a clean cross-off breeze from the NE at 9 mph, keeping the faces tidy. This is a standout session – for the experts only.

Into Friday afternoon, the wind swings ESE and picks up, making things cross and a bit lumpy. The swell holds size, but the quality drops. Saturday the 15th sees the swell ease back to 7 foot, still a long-period SSW swell, but the winds are stronger again and more cross-off or cross-shore. The energy is still moderate to strong (1874 and 1560), but the conditions are marginal. Not the best, but a strong swimmer might get some.

Sunday the 16th through the start of the following week sees the swell drop and the quality stay average. Monday the 17th morning shows a very strong offshore wind at 25 mph with a 19-second period and 6 foot swell – that’s a 2573 energy reading. Super clean, but that strong offshore will make it a real mission to paddle into. The afternoon looks better for the experienced lot, with 6 foot and a clean offshore breeze.

Tuesday the 18th is a write-off – cross-on winds and messy conditions. The outlook is flat lining through midweek.

Now, the real gem for the more manageable size comes on Wednesday the 19th afternoon. We get that lovely window: WSW wind drops to a glassy 3 mph, and the swell is still a clean 6 foot from the SW at 16 seconds. Energy is 1651, which is moderate and punchy. That’s the session for the intermediate crew to get out and enjoy some glassy, peeling lines.

Thursday the 20th morning holds 8 foot and a solid 15-second period, clean with a light offshore. That is powerful again, but the afternoon turns onshore and sloppy.

The following week from the 21st to the 23rd is a mixed bag of offshore windows and onshore chop. Saturday the 22nd morning looks okay for more experienced surfers – 7 foot, clean, and a lighter NE breeze. Sunday the 23rd afternoon also has a nice cross-off breeze with 5 foot – a good option for a longer board.

The real promising long-range call is Monday the 24th morning. The swell bumps back up to 8 foot from the SSW with 13-second period, and a cross-off breeze keeps it clean. Energy reads 2728 – solid. That is standing out to me as a top pick for the second week, though it’s a little far out to bank on, so keep an eye on it.

After that, the energy fades and the wind turns messy. Tuesday the 25th and Wednesday the 26th have onshore winds, making conditions poor. Thursday the 27th morning cleans up again with 5 foot and a light offshore – a nice little end to the run.

Friday the 28th is a small day with clean conditions, but from there the surf drops right off into the weekend of the 29th, with poor onshore winds and small, weak swell. That’s the gap at the end.

So, overall: The standout is Friday 14th morning for the big-wave crew, and Wednesday 19th afternoon for the best all-rounder conditions when it’s glassy and still has plenty of push. For next week, Monday 24th morning is the one to circle.

Rusty.
