The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, talking surf at Twilight Beach.

It's a rough start, no two ways about it. From Sunday the 6th through Tuesday the 8th, forget it. We've got a solid 3 to 10 ft SSW swell, but it's all trashed by strong onshore winds. The wave energy is intense – up to 5247 – but it's just a mess of chop and lump. Not worth getting wet.

Things clean up a little from Wednesday the 9th, but it's still just okay. The swell drops to a more manageable 8 ft, and the wind goes cross-offshore, giving us some cleaner looks, but not epic.

The first real good window is Friday the 11th. The morning is looking sweet. A clean 5 ft SSW swell, 15-second period, and offshore wind from the NNE. That's a beautiful combo. The water is about average for this time of year. The wave energy is 1096 (moderate). The offshore wind makes all the difference. It will be a bit more lined up, and that long period makes paddling out easier. Crowds can show up sometimes, so keep your eyes open.

The next good day is Tuesday the 15th. Another morning with offshore wind (N at 6 mph), a clean 6 ft SSW swell, and a light breeze. A solid, fun session.

But the absolute best of the entire 16 days is Wednesday the 16th. Both morning and afternoon are looking excellent for experienced surfers. We're talking a 7 ft SSW swell, a great 16-second period, and clean offshore winds all day. The wave energy is 2347 (strong). This is a powerful, clean groundswell. It's a bit big for the groms, but for anyone with some experience, this is the one to aim for. The long period will make the waves shape up nicely with that offshore wind. It's a proper session.

After that, it gets messy again. Thursday the 17th is a no-go, and Friday the 18th brings a massive 13 ft SW swell, but it's blown out by a 25 mph cross-wind. The energy is 8139 (very strong), but it's a mess. The swell gets even bigger, with some huge 18 ft waves on Sunday the 20th, but the wind is just as bad. That's kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

So, to keep it short: the first week is a wash, then we get a couple of clean windows. The standout is absolutely Wednesday the 16th. That's your day.

Rusty, out.

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.
