The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Twilight Beach. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it'll be well worth the paddle out.

The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is bang on average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

Okay, the first real action kicks off on Saturday the 16th. We’ve got a clean 4ft SSW swell pushing in, with a 12 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is moderate (1173). It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and clean. Saturday afternoon picks up a bit to 6ft (SSW) with a long 16-second period, but the wind goes cross-shore so the morning session on Saturday is the pick for a few fun ones.

Sunday the 17th looks promising for the early crew. A solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and a fresh 22 mph offshore wind from the NNE. That’s clean, hollow, and powerful. Energy is strong (2573). That long period will definitely make it stand up and barrel on the banks, but be ready for those long lulls between sets. The afternoon stays clean too, with 6ft and a lighter cross-off breeze.

Monday the 18th is a write-off with onshore wind and lumpy conditions. Forget it.

Now, mark your calendar for Wednesday the 19th – this is a standout. The afternoon session is going to be pure magic. We’ve got a clean, glassy 6ft SSW swell with a steady 16-second period. That’s a gorgeous wave shape with only a slight air movement. The energy is still strong (1352), but with the wind going dead glass, it’ll be silky smooth. That is prime time for experienced surfers.

Thursday the 20th sees a big jump in size, 10ft SW swells, but the winds are messy – cross-shore and cross-on. The energy is massive (4689-6751), but the quality goes down. This is more for the big-wave crew who don’t mind a bit of chop.

Friday the 21st, the swell hits 12ft (SSW) with a really long period. The energy is huge (5441-5720), but it’s accompanied by onshore and cross-on winds. The wave is predicted to be simply too big for this break, making it a dangerous mess. Stay on the beach for this one.

The next true standout window rolls around Saturday the 22nd. Morning is the call: a clean 10ft SSW swell with a gentle 9 mph offshore breeze from the NNE. That’s big, powerful, and clean – a proper session for experienced surfers only with strong energy (3826). The afternoon gets choppier.

Sunday the 23rd is another glassy gem in the morning. A 6ft SSW swell with zero wind. It’s as clean as it gets. The energy is solid (1807). A brilliant morning for getting some smooth, lined-up waves. The afternoon gets onshore and choppy again.

The following week sees a few more highlights. Monday the 24th is a beauty: a 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period and a solid 16 mph offshore wind from the north. Clean, powerful, with very strong energy (3097). Monday afternoon is also clean with 8ft and a light cross-off breeze. That’s a full day of quality.

The rest of the week into the next weekend sees the swell drop off and the wind turn messy again. There’s a window on Friday the 28th with a clean 4ft wave and offshore wind, but not much power (419). A good longboard day.

So, overall, there is definitely some surf to be had. The absolute best, clear winners are Wednesday the 19th afternoon for the glassy perfection, and Monday the 24th for the powerful, offshore groundswell. Get 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.
