Table - best surf conditions forecast for Twilight Beach over the next 16 days.


Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a window of serious size on the way. The next week or so is dominated by a solid SSW groundswell, but you’re going to need to pick your sessions carefully. These waves are packing a punch.

Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are the standout for the experienced crew. Tuesday morning at Twilight Beach is the pick: clean 8 ft SSW swell with a light offshore breeze from the NNW. The combined energy is a meaty 3118, so there's plenty of power. The water's sitting at 62°F, which is about what you’d expect for this time of year. This is for the intermediate and above crowd, as anything over 8 ft is expert territory.

From Wednesday the 15th through to Friday the 17th, the swell drops a touch but stays clean. Wednesday afternoon is a gem with a 4 ft, 18-second SSW groundswell and a gentle offshore breeze. That's clean, lined-up surf with long waits between sets—perfect for a point break if you can find one.

We hit a bit of a lull in quality from the 18th through to the 22nd. Saturday the 18th gets messy with strong cross-shore winds and a chop that'll have you fighting the board more than riding it. Sunday the 19th morning bumps back up to 10 ft and clean, but it’s a cross-off breeze; still, that’s a big wave for a fairly exposed spot. By Monday the 22nd, conditions turn pretty poor with onshore winds and lumpy surf, so you might be better off on the beach.

The final call in this outlook is the swell building again around the 25th and 26th of July. Saturday the 25th morning has a huge 12 ft SSW swell and clean conditions, but at that size, it’s strictly for the big-wave chargers. Sunday the 26th drops to a still-sizeable 10 ft but with a fresh cross-off breeze. It’s a window of opportunity, but only if you’ve got the nerve.

So, overall: Tuesday the 14th morning is your best bet for a quality, clean, powerful session. If you want a quieter, longer-period wave, Wednesday the 15th afternoon is the sneaky good one.

Stay safe out there.
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.
