The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s heading to Twilight Beach.
The first few days are a bit of a bust. Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd are a total loss – you’ve got 7ft to 10ft swell from the SSW, but it’s getting smashed by a cross-onshore wind. The water’s a choppy mess with a ton of energy (1406 to 6931). Not worth paddling out.
Thursday the 23rd is a bit of a maybe. The swell is still 10ft from the SSW, but the wind goes light and cross-shore from the ESE in the morning. The period is a solid 15 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, but it might be a bit straight for the beach. The energy is still huge (3378).
Friday the 24th morning is where it gets good. A clean 6ft SSW swell with a light offshore breeze from the NNW. That’s glassy water. The energy is a more manageable 1127. Not the biggest, but it’ll be fun.
The real standout for the experienced surfer is Sunday the 26th afternoon through Monday the 27th. Sunday afternoon you’ve got a 8ft SSW swell with a gentle offshore wind from the north – clean, powerful lines. The energy is 3327. Monday morning the 27th is even bigger, with an 8ft SSW swell and a fresh offshore. The energy is 4066. That’s serious, heavy surf.
The biggest of the whole forecast is Monday the 3rd of August. A massive 10ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is a staggering 6539. Wind is a gentle offshore from the NNE in the morning. This is a huge, clean swell, but at 10ft, it’s experts only. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it.
For the average surfer, I’d aim for that Friday the 24th morning. It’s the best size for the masses with clean conditions. The water temp is 62°, which is dead average for this time of year.
Crowds are a possibility at Twilight Beach, so get in early. The first week is a bit of a rollercoaster, but that second week, especially the 3rd of August, is the one to dream about.
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.
