The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the next couple weeks at Twilight Beach. There’s a steady diet of SSW groundswell coming, but the wind’s gonna be a pain early on. It does clean up real nice later, though.
That first big push hits Tuesday the 8th with a solid 3 meter SSW groundswell, super long 16 to 17 second period. The combined swell energy is massive – in the thousands. But we’ve got a fresh cross-onshore wind at 35 km/h, and the surf is just lumpy and poor. Wednesday the 9th is more of the same: 3 to 2 meter SSW swell, still 16 seconds, but that cross-shore wind keeps it messy.
Thursday the 10th, the wind settles into a moderate cross-off breeze, and the swell drops to around 2 meters. It’s clean, but still marginal. Friday the 11th is the first real gem. We’ve got a clean 1 meter SSW groundswell with a nice 15 second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the NNE in the morning. That’s gonna be some clean, fun surf. Saturday the 12th starts off clean in the morning with a 2 meter swell, but the afternoon gets hammered by a 40 km/h cross-shore. Not worth it.
Sunday the 13th is a loss with strong onshore winds. The standout is Monday the 15th of September. That morning, you get a strong 2 meter SSW swell (14 second period) and it’s glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is 2576, so it’s got some punch. That’s excellent for experienced surfers, clean and powerful. Crowds are only sometimes a problem here, but on a morning like that, you’ll have company.
The following week, another big one hits on Thursday the 18th. We’re looking at a solid 3 meter SSW groundswell, 15 second period, and a light offshore breeze in the afternoon. Combined energy is around 3678 – serious power. Again, this is for the experienced crew. The rest of that week is hit or miss: Friday the 19th is blown out by a near gale, but Sunday the 21st has some clean-ish 2 meter swell in a cross-off breeze.
Best call? Get to Twilight Beach on the morning of the 15th of September for glassy, clean, 2 meter SSW lines. The 18th of September afternoon is another big one for the experts. Just gotta wait out a few rough days first.

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.
