The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin’ at the same stretch for Twilight Beach, but in feet and knots.
The first real surf hits on Thursday, September 3rd. We’re talkin’ a solid 10-foot SSW groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy is a strong 4454, and the water is about 62°, which is normal for the season. The wind is a light cross-off from the NW, so the waves will be clean. But 10-foot is expert only, and with that long period, it’ll be better at a point or reef. Still, if you’ve got the skill, Thursday afternoon is the play.
Friday the 4th is a total loss. The wind goes from a near gale Friday morning to a strong breeze Friday afternoon, all onshore or cross-onshore. The swell hits 15 feet but it’s blown to hell. Saturday the 5th has a morning window with a 10-foot SSW swell and a clean cross-off breeze, but it’s marginal, probably due to tide. It’s a maybe, not a go.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th are rough. Strong onshore winds, messy, big swell. Tuesday the 8th is the same story with cross-onshore winds and a 12-foot SSW swell with an 18-second period, but the energy is huge (8132) and it’s all choppy.
The second week gets smaller but stays tricky. Wednesday the 9th has a 10-foot SSW swell but a fresh cross-shore wind makes it lumpy. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th see the swell drop to 6 feet and 5 feet, with a clean cross-off wind on Thursday morning. That’s more friendly for intermediates, but it’s only a fair session.
Now, the real standout. On Wednesday, September 16th, the morning is glassy. Dead calm. Wind from the ESE at only 3 knots. The swell is 12 feet from the SSW with a very long 18-second period, and the combined energy is 6548. This is a powerful, long-period groundswell with perfect conditions. But the forecast says it’s too big for this break, so this is expert-only. If you’re that good, this is the best window of the whole 16 days.
After that, Thursday the 17th morning has a 7-foot SSW swell with a light cross-off breeze and a 16-second period, which is clean and excellent for experienced surfers. Friday the 18th morning offers a 6-foot SSW swell with a moderate offshore wind from the NNW, giving you clean, offshore lines. That’s a solid session for strong intermediates and up.
There’s a big gap of poor conditions from the 4th to the 9th, but the 16th is the one to mark. Crowds are possible at Twilight Beach when it’s good, so paddle out early.
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.
