The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.

Everything’s centred on Twilight Beach. It’s a fairly exposed SW spot, so it picks up a good chunk of that long-period groundswell that’s on the way. The water’s sitting about average for the time of year, so no funny business on that front.

We’ve got a slow start, but come Wednesday morning the 29th of July, it starts to get interesting. A solid 10 ft SSW swell is rolling in with a period of 13 seconds and a NNW breeze going offshore. That’s clean, lined-up surf, but at that size, it’s for the experienced crew – beginners will be in over their head. The combined swell energy is hefty at 2547 (moderate to strong). The afternoon goes *glassy* with the wind dropping to nothing and a 8 ft SSW swell still pulsing. That’s the pick of the early window, hands down. The offshore wind and glassy conditions are a major positive.

Thursday the 30th keeps the run going with a 5 ft SSW swell in the morning (moderate offshore, nice and clean) and then a smaller 5 ft in the afternoon. Energy drops off a bit, but it’s still clean. By Friday the 31st, the swell picks back up. The morning’s a bit messy with a 7 ft SSW swell (18-second period – that’s very long period groundswell) and a strong offshore wind, but the afternoon is the real standout: 8 ft SSW at 17 seconds, gentle offshore wind, and the energy is pumping at 4032 (strong). That’s a proper session for experienced surfers.

Saturday the 1st of August is a write-off. The wind swings onshore and the swell jumps to 12 ft and then 15 ft – way too big for this break. The energy hits 11776 (very strong), but it’s just a washing machine. Skip it.

Sunday the 2nd is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a 10 ft SSW swell with a cross-off breeze – clean enough, but the energy is moderate at 3766. The afternoon gets a cross-shore chop, so not ideal.

Monday the 3rd looks better. The morning has a 6 ft SSW swell with a fresh offshore wind – that’s a fun, clean size for a wider range of surfers. The afternoon cleans up even more with a 7 ft SSW swell and gentle offshore winds. The energy is solid at 2057 (moderate). Good session.

Tuesday the 4th is another dud. Onshore winds and lumpy surf make it a no-go.

Wednesday the 5th of August is a cracker. 10 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, gentle offshore wind in the morning – that’s clean, powerful, and for the experienced. The afternoon is also clean with a light cross-off breeze. Energy is strong at 4323. This is a top contender for the best on offer.

Thursday the 6th stays clean but the swell drops to 7 ft – still fun, but not the standout.

Friday the 7th throws a massive 12 ft SW swell at you with an 18-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is 8132 (very strong). The problem is, it’s likely too big for the break. Only for the most experienced, and even then, expect a battle.

Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are messy, with strong winds and a lumpy cross-chop. The wave quality is poor.

Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are a washout with onshore winds.

Then we get a solid finish. Tuesday the 11th of August the afternoon session has a 10 ft SSW swell, 12-second period, and a gentle offshore wind. The energy is 4293 (strong) – that’s a clean, powerful wave for the experienced.

Wednesday the 12th the morning has a 12 ft SSW swell with a strong offshore wind, but at over 8 ft, it’s expert-only. The energy is 5042 (strong) but the wind is strong enough to make paddling a real challenge.

The best on offer:
The standout is Wednesday 5th August – that 10 ft SSW swell with 16-second period and gentle offshore wind is just about as good as it gets for Twilight Beach. The Friday 31st July afternoon is a close second, with that long-period groundswell and clean conditions. Keep an eye on Wednesday 12th August for a potential big-wave session, but only if you’re truly experienced.

The crowd factor here is “sometimes”, so you might have a few others out, but that’s no surprise on the good days. This spot is fairly consistent, so even when it’s not perfect, it tends to come back around.

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.
