The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a rough start. Monday morning, July 27th, we’ve got a solid 12 ft SSW swell hitting Twilight Beach, but that 30 km/h cross-onshore wind from the SW is wrecking it. Lumpy, choppy, forget it. This is a beach break, and with the wind like that, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. That afternoon doesn’t get much better.

Tuesday, July 28th, the swell holds around 10 ft, but the wind is onshore and the tide is questionable. There’s a hint of improvement in the afternoon with a lighter breeze, but I wouldn’t get excited. The energy is strong, with a combined swell energy of 5094 on Tuesday afternoon, but it’s just not coming together.

Now, Wednesday July 29th morning is where it starts to get interesting. A clean 10 ft SSW groundswell with a period of 13 seconds, and a 10 km/h offshore wind from the north. That’s a major positive. The water temperature is 62°F, which is about average for the time of year. The break is fairly consistent and fairly exposed, so it’s handling the energy well. This is for experienced surfers only though – anything over 8 ft is for the crew who know what they’re doing. The combined energy is a strong 2547.

Thursday July 30th morning drops to 5 ft, but with a 25 km/h offshore wind, it’s clean. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which at a beach break like this can make it a bit too straight, but it’s still a decent option for a paddle out. The energy drops to 1201.

The real standout? Friday July 31st afternoon. Clear skies, 8 ft SSW swell, a 16-second period, and a gentle 15 km/h offshore from the NNE. The combined energy is 2748. The conditions are clean, and the wind is offshore. This is as good as it gets for the first week. The break is a beach break, but with that long period groundswell, expect good shape and longer waits between sets. Crowds are possible here, so get out early.

Saturday August 1st is a washout. The swell jumps to 13 ft, but the wind is onshore and there’s rain. It’s too big for this break anyway.

Moving into the second week, the outlook is promising but less certain. Monday August 3rd morning brings a 7 ft SSW swell with a 20 km/h offshore wind. Clean. Tuesday August 4th morning is a beauty: 6 ft swell, but a 20-second period! That’s very long period groundswell, and with a 25 km/h offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and powerful. The energy is 2786. This is a standout for the experts.

Wednesday August 5th morning holds 8 ft with a 17-second period and a cross-offshore wind. Clean and solid. The energy is 4002.

Friday August 7th afternoon is another highlight for the second week: 8 ft SW swell, 15-second period, and a gentle 15 km/h cross-offshore from the NE. The energy is 4961. Clean, good shape.

The run from August 8th onwards gets messy again. Big swell, strong winds, and rain. August 10th Monday morning sees a massive 18 ft SW swell, but it’s too big and the wind is messy. By August 11th, the swell is still 13 ft, even with clean offshore winds, it’s only for the most experienced.

All in all, Friday July 31st afternoon and Wednesday August 5th morning are your best bets. Get on it.

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.
