The Lowdown
Alright, mate. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for our local patch, Twilight Beach. Let’s just say it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some solid pulses of energy coming through, but the wind gods aren't always going to play nice. The water temp feels pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The real story starts on Monday, the 24th of August, but it’s not a pretty one. A big 8ft SSW groundswell rolls in with a period of 15 seconds, packing some serious punch. But the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so don’t expect much. Tuesday the 25th cleans up nicely in the afternoon, with a light offshore wind from the NNW and a clean 5ft SW swell. It’s not huge, but the conditions will be fun.
Now, Wednesday the 26th of August is where my eyes light up. Early morning, we’ve got a clean 7ft SW groundswell with a long 14-second period and a gentle offshore breeze. That’s a recipe for some proper lined-up waves. Get out there early before the wind swings around to a nasty onshore in the afternoon and ruins it. That morning session is one of the best on offer.
The rest of that week gets blown out by strong onshores, and a massive 10ft+ swell on Thursday the 27th is just a mess of whitewater. That’s one for the experts only, and even then, the wind is terrible.
We hit a quiet patch from the 29th, with small, choppy surf. Hold tight.
Then, Sunday the 30th of August delivers another standout. The morning shows a clean 8ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The energy is massive, and with a light offshore breeze, it’ll be a proper session for experienced surfers. The 16-second period on Monday the 31st will keep things going with clean, offshore conditions in the morning. Tuesday the 1st of September also has clean offshore winds, though the swell starts to dip a bit.
After that, the wind gets messy again until the 4th of September, when we see another spike in swell. The 5th of September sees a massive 12ft swell, but the forecast is clear that it’s too big for this break. It might look amazing, but it’s only for the brave or the foolish.
The final real highlight is Tuesday the 8th of September. A 10ft SSW swell with a clean, gentle offshore wind. That’s a big, clean day for the crew who know what they’re doing. So, to sum it up: Wednesday morning the 26th of August, and Sunday morning the 30th of August are your true standouts. Get on them.
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.
