The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, keepin’ an eye on the swell for Twilight Beach. We got a solid run of groundswell comin’ in, and the water’s sittin’ at about 62°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year.
The first real action is Thursday, July 30th. Thursday morning’s lookin’ clean with a moderate offshore breeze from the north at 15 mph, pushin’ a 5ft SSW groundswell with a long 15-second period. The wave energy is strong (1363). That’s a powerful, well-shaped wave for the experienced lot. The afternoon’s even cleaner, with a lighter offshore and a 5ft swell, 14-second period. Glassy.
Friday the 31st keeps the pedal down. The big standout is Friday afternoon. You’ve got an 8ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, and a gentle offshore from the north at 9 mph. The energy is crankin’ (3428). That’s a big, hollow-feeling wave for advanced surfers. The period is long, so it might be a bit straight at the beach, but the wind is so good it’ll still be a top-tier session.
Saturday the 1st of August is a washout. Strong onshore winds from the WSW at 18-21 mph, and a messy 10ft to 12ft swell. Forget it.
Sunday the 2nd of August is the absolute gem. The morning is glassy, zero wind, and a solid 10ft SSW groundswell, 14-second period. The energy is pumpin’ (3338). This is the session to circle. Clean, powerful, and big. Only for the experts, but the conditions will be unreal. The afternoon gets a little choppy, so the morning is your window.
Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th are smaller, with 5ft swells and clean offshore winds. Fun, but not as meaty.
From Wednesday the 5th onward, the second week gets real messy. The swell stays big, 8ft to 10ft, but the winds turn cross or onshore, making it lumpy. The early part of Thursday the 6th is a good one: an 8ft SSW groundswell, 15-second period, with a moderate offshore from the north. Clean and powerful again.
The rest of the run from the 7th to the 14th is a write-off. Strong onshore winds, huge messy swells, and a total blown-out mess. The 9th of August has a massive 18ft swell, but with 21-25 mph onshore winds, it’s a total disaster. The 10th of August is too big for the break, and the wind is still onshore. The 13th and 14th have some deep period groundswell, but it’s buried under a strong onshore gale.
So, for the big picture, the absolute standouts are Friday 31st July afternoon and Sunday 2nd August morning. Both have big, powerful groundswell and clean, favorable winds. If you’re an expert, those are the ones. The first week has some fun smaller windows, but the second week is a long, painful gap for paddle surfers.
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.
