The Lowdown
Right, grab a coffee, mate. Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s coming for Twilight Beach.
First off, the immediate future is a write-off. The next few days are a mess of strong onshore winds and huge, messy swell. We’re talking a solid 16 ft of SSW groundswell on Sunday morning with a 17-second period, but it’s all cross-onshore and lumpy. The combined energy is massive (18223), so there’s a ton of water moving, but it’s just not ridable. You’d be mad to go out. There’s a real gap here with no good surf until the middle of the week.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, August 14th morning. The water is about average for the time of year at 62°F. We’ve got a 10 ft SSW swell, still a long 16-second period, but the wind is a light offshore from the ENE at 6 mph. This is a major positive – it’ll be clean. The combined energy is still strong (4944), making this a solid, expert-only wave. The crowd factor is listed as “sometimes,” so you might have a few others sniffing around, but with the size, it won’t be packed.
The real standout, the one you want to circle, is Saturday, August 15th morning. The swell drops to a more manageable 7 ft from the SSW, with a 14-second period. The wind is proper offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, giving us glassy, clean conditions. The combined energy is moderate (1987), so it’s powerful but not insane. This is a great window for experienced surfers looking for clean, solid waves. Get onto it.
After that, it’s a mixed bag. There’s a clean morning on Monday, August 18th, but the wind is howling at 25 mph, even if it’s cross-offshore. The quality just isn’t there. The next real highlight is a long way off, Saturday, August 22nd afternoon. The swell bumps back up to a clean 10 ft from the SW, with a very long 18-second period, and the wind is a light cross-off from the NW at 9 mph. The combined energy is strong (5615), promising some excellent, powerful waves. This is a promising one for the second week, but it’s a long way out, so the call is less certain.
The final weekend of the outlook, August 23rd, looks like a return to the same messy, oversized conditions we saw at the start. So, the takeaway is: grit your teeth through the first few days, then get amongst it on the 14th and 15th.
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.
