Table - best surf conditions forecast for Twilight Beach over the next 16 days.
Right, Twilight Beach is the only spot in the running. Let's not sugarcoat it – the first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 11th kicks off with a hefty 8ft SSW swell, but that cross-onshore wind is making a mess of it. The combined energy is high (2427), but it's a blustery, choppy mess. Sunday the 12th gets even bigger, with a 10ft to 12ft SSW groundswell, but the wind just keeps ruining it. It's too big for the beginners anyway, and with the onshore wind, it's more of a washing machine than a wave.
Monday the 13th is the same story – the swell is huge, pushing 12ft, and the wind is still cross. The water is sitting at 62°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 15th. The morning is looking magic with a clean 8ft SSW groundswell (15-second period) and a light northerly offshore breeze. That's a solid combo for experienced surfers. The energy is still strong (3118), and the cleanliness will be a joy. The afternoon is a bit more average with a cross-shore wind, but that morning session is the standout of the whole run.
Wednesday the 16th is also a beauty. The morning has a clean 6ft SSW swell with a fresh northerly offshore. The energy is more moderate (1238), but the waves will be clean and lined up. The afternoon is even better for the experienced crew with a 5ft swell and a clean offshore wind. Thursday the 17th carries on the good run with a moderate 7ft to 8ft SSW groundswell and clean offshore winds all day. The energy is strong (2437), and the conditions are superb.
After that, it gets tricky again. Friday the 18th has a smaller 4ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds in the morning, but the energy is weak (609). The weekend is a no-go with gale-force winds on Saturday the 19th making it dangerous, and Sunday the 20th bringing back the huge, messy swell.
The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. Monday the 22nd to Wednesday the 23rd has some cleaner conditions with moderate cross-offshore winds and 7ft to 8ft SSW swell, but the energy is moderate. The best of the second week looks like Thursday the 24th, with a clean 6ft to 6ft SSW groundswell and light winds. It's a promising option, but less certain this far out.
Overall, the best surf is on Tuesday the 15th, Wednesday the 16th, and Thursday the 17th. Get in the water on Tuesday morning for the cleanest, punchiest waves.

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.
