The Lowdown

Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's get into it.

We got a long forecast here, and it's all about Twilight Beach. The main story is a serious pulse of powerful groundswell that's gonna be a tad big for a bit, then clean up for the experienced crew.

On Thursday the 13th, we've got a massive 12 ft SSW swell running at 16-17 seconds. The combined swell energy is a whopping 6242 and 7305, which is very, very strong. The water is at a pretty average 61°F for this time of year. But here's the thing: this wave is predicted to be too big for this break. If you're an absolute expert, maybe you look at it, but the afternoon brings onshore wind, making it a mess.

Friday the 14th is a better call. The morning has solid 10 ft SSW swell (period 16s, energy 5076) with a lovely NE cross-offshore breeze at 6 mph. It's clean, it's got power, but at nearly 10 ft it's definitely for the experienced surfer. The afternoon gets a bit wonky with cross-shore chop.

Saturday the 15th sees the swell dropping to 7 ft, but the direction holds strong from the SSW (14s period, energy 1874). The morning is absolute perfection with a NNE offshore breeze. That's a clean, lined-up wave for the competent surfer.

Sunday the 16th is a letdown. The swell drops to 5 ft and the wind picks up to 16 mph from the NE, making it choppy.

Then we get a bit of a weird one on Monday the 17th. The swell is a consistent 6 ft with a super long 19-second period in the morning (energy 2573). The wind is howling out of the north at 22 mph, but it's offshore. That long period groundswell at a beach setup might break a bit straight, but that offshore wind could make for some clean if tricky walls. The afternoon has a lighter offshore breeze and is marked for experienced surfers.

Tuesday the 18th we get another massive spike. The swell jumps back to 10 ft with 16-second periods (energy 7949), but it's onshore and messy. Hard pass.

Wednesday the 19th is a great window. We have a 7 ft SSW swell (15s period, energy 1871) with a strong 19 mph north offshore wind. That's a fresh, clean, powerful wave. Good for a confident surfer. The afternoon stays clean.

Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are write-offs. Strong cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, dropping swell. It looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.

Here comes the big one again. Saturday the 22nd - mark your calendars. We get another huge 12 ft pulse from the SSW (14s period, energy 7375) but with a WNW cross-offshore breeze. It's predicted to be too big for the break again. The morning will be clean but absolutely pumping. Only the best of the best need apply.

Sunday the 23rd through Monday the 24th is mostly cross-onshore and choppy.

Now, Tuesday the 25th, that's a standout for the experienced surfer. A solid 10 ft SSW swell with 16-second periods (energy 4883) and a light NNW cross-offshore breeze at just 6 mph. That's clean, powerful, and well-aimed.

Wednesday the 26th is a step down to 8 ft, but it's a light cross-onshore breeze, so the quality is iffy.

Thursday the 27th the swell really backs off to 5 ft with a fresh offshore, but it's weak (energy 887).

Finally, Friday the 28th ends the window with a bang. An 8 ft SW swell (16s period, energy 3869) and a strong NNW offshore at 22 mph. That's a fresh, clean, powerful wave to close it out. The afternoon goes onshore and gets lumpy. Get it in the morning.

So, if I'm picking one or two true standouts, I'm looking at Monday the 17th afternoon for the light-offshore and clean conditions on a solid 6 ft swell, and definitely Saturday the 22nd morning if you're a true charger. That 12 ft clean swell is a beast, but it's only for the brave.

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.
