Alright folks, Rusty here with the imperial version.

We’ve got a solid run of surf starting Monday morning, July 6th, at Twilight Beach. The week kicks off with a clean 5ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 15-second period. Winds are light and offshore from the north, so the surface will be glassy. The water temperature is about 62°, which is average for this time of year. The combined swell energy is strong (974). This is a really good start to the week.

Tuesday morning, July 7th, is a standout. The swell jumps to 10ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the wind is cross-off from the NNE. The energy is massive (4383). This is big, powerful groundswell – definitely for experienced surfers only. The sets will be clean and lined up, but the size and power will be a handful.

Wednesday, July 8th, settles a bit. The morning sees about 6ft SSW swell with a 15-second period, light NNW cross-off wind, and clean conditions (1568 energy). The afternoon is even cleaner with 6ft and ENE light breeze. Great for a step-down session.

Thursday, July 9th, stays in the 5-6ft range from the SW with a 14-second period, but the wind is cross-off from the NNW in the morning and WNW in the afternoon. Clean conditions again, though the energy drops a bit (1073-896). Still worth a paddle.

Then things get rowdy. Friday, July 10th, the wind swings cross-on from the WSW, 15-19 mph, and the swell is 6ft but choppy. Not good. Saturday, July 11th, is a write-off – 13ft SSW swell with 19 mph cross-on wind, lumpy and dangerous. Sunday, July 12th, stays big and messy with 12ft. The pattern of strong onshore winds and big swell continues right through the middle of the week.

The next true standout is Wednesday morning, July 15th. Offshore north wind at 16 mph, clean, with 7ft SSW groundswell on a 14-second period. The afternoon is even better: 8ft SSW, 18-second period, light north offshore wind, energy at 4330. That is a stunning session for experienced surfers. The long period will make the waves powerful and well-shaped, best at a point or reef.

Thursday morning, July 16th, stays offshore from the north, but the wind freshens to 22 mph. Swell is 7ft with a 14-second period (1512 energy). Still clean and rideable for those who like it punchy.

After that, the wind turns nasty again from Friday, July 17th, through to the end of the outlook. The swell stays around 5-7ft, but onshore winds from the SW and WSW, 19-25 mph, ruin the surface. The last few days, July 20th and 21st, are a total loss with onshore winds and lumpy, messy conditions.

Best on offer: Tuesday morning, July 7th, for the big 10ft groundswell and clean cross-off wind, but it’s experts only. Wednesday morning and afternoon, July 15th, is the pick of the second week – clean north offshore, solid 8ft swell, and that long 18-second period will produce some dreamy waves.

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.
