Table - best surf conditions forecast for Twilight Beach over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Twilight Beach. The start’s a bit rough, and Sunday the 23rd is no good—cross-onshore wind, choppy, and the combined wave energy is moderate. Water’s about 62°, which is normal for this time of year.
Monday the 24th is still iffy. Morning’s sloppy with an 8ft SSW swell and cross-onshore wind. Afternoon gets a little cleaner with light SE breeze, but it’s still marginal. Tuesday the 25th has some clean morning surf from a cross-off NW wind, but the swell drops to 6ft and energy is moderate.
Here’s where it gets good: Wednesday the 26th morning. You’ve got a 7ft SW swell, cross-off NW wind, clean conditions, and strong energy—excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a standout.
Thursday the 27th is garbage—strong onshore wind, lumpy, and an 12ft swell that’s too big with bad wind. Friday and Saturday stay poor.
Sunday the 30th morning is another standout: 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period, clean from a NE cross-off breeze, and strong energy. This one will be clean and lined up.
Monday the 31st still has clean morning surf with offshore NNW wind and a 6ft SSW swell—good for intermediates. Then the first few days of September fade with smaller swells and iffy wind. Friday the 4th sees a slight bump to 7ft SW, but wind is cross-shore.
Saturday the 5th morning is another highlight: 10ft SW swell with offshore N wind, clean, and strong energy—expert only, too big for most.
By Monday the 7th, the swell is forecast at a massive 16ft with a 20-second period and extremely high energy—that’s way too big for this break. It’s more a kite-surfing setup than paddle.
So your best bets are Wednesday the 26th morning, Sunday the 30th, and Saturday the 5th morning. The rest of the 16 days has a lot of marginal or poor conditions, but those windows are worth chasing.

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.
