The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got Twilight Beach as the main feature, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

Right now, we’re getting into the swing of things with a solid, but messy, start. Wednesday morning, July 22nd, is a write-off. We’ve got a 10-foot SSW swell rolling in, but it’s getting hammered by a 12 mph cross-on wind, making it choppy and ugly. The energy is through the roof, but that doesn’t mean a thing when the wind is ruining it. The afternoon gets even worse, with the wind going onshore. Just forget it.

Thursday, July 23rd, is a bit of a letdown. The swell drops slightly to 8-10 feet, but the wind is still cross-on from the SE at 9 mph. The wave energy is still high, but the conditions are only marginal. Not worth getting excited about.

Then, Friday, July 24th, things start to look up. The morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a clean 6-foot SSW swell with a nice 13-second period, and the wind swings to a gentle offshore from the N at 9 mph. The energy is moderate. It’s clean. This is your window for a solid session. The afternoon stays rideable but gets a bit smaller and crosses up.

Saturday, July 25th, is another good one. The swell drops to 4 feet, but the wind is offshore all day long. The morning has a moderate 15 mph NW breeze, but the afternoon is gentler. The energy is low, but the clean conditions will make it fun on a smaller board.

Sunday, July 26th, is a mess. The wind is howling from the NW at 25 mph in the morning, and the swell is a short, weak 8 feet from the WSW (7-second period). The afternoon gets a massive 13-foot SW swell, but it’s too big for this spot and the wind is still strong. That’s a no-go zone.

Monday and Tuesday, July 27th and 28th, are poor. The wind is onshore or cross-on, and the swell is big and messy. The energy is high, but the conditions are just not there.

Now, here’s the real highlight. Wednesday, July 29th, is the absolute best on offer. The morning serves up a 7-foot SSW swell with a 13-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the N. Clean, powerful, and the energy is solid. This is excellent. The afternoon is even more special: the swell drops to 4 feet, but the period stretches to a very long 17 seconds, and the wind is nearly glassy from the NE. This is a groundswell that will be peeling nicely. For experienced surfers, this is the session to circle. The offshore wind will keep the faces clean.

Thursday, July 30th, is also solid. The morning has a 6-foot SSW swell with a 16-second period, and a moderate offshore wind. The afternoon is a real standout, with a 7-foot SSW swell, a 17-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is high. This is another top-tier window.

The rest of the run into the first week of August gets messy again. Friday, July 31st, is rideable but windy. Saturday, August 1st, has near gale-force winds, so forget it. Sunday, August 2nd, is the same story with a massive 20-second period, but the wind is cross-shore and howling, making it a kite-surfing show, not a paddle surf. The energy is massive, but it’s not for us.

Monday, August 3rd, and Tuesday, August 4th, are still windy and lumpy. The cleanest windows later in the week are Wednesday, August 5th, with a smaller 7-foot SSW swell and a gentle offshore, and Thursday, August 6th, with a 4-foot groundswell, but the wind is fresh.

Bottom line:
The standout windows are the mornings of Friday, July 24th, Wednesday, July 29th, and Thursday, July 30th. The afternoon of Wednesday, July 29th is the absolute cream of the crop for the long-period groundswell and glassy winds. The second week is a bit of a gamble with the wind, but keep an eye on the 29th and 30th. Don’t bother with the first few days or the first weekend of August.

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.
