The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for your local stretch.
Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty grim start to the forecast period. The first few days, starting Thursday the 27th of August, are a write-off. We've got a solid 8ft of SW groundswell rolling in, but a strong 25 km/h SE wind is blowing straight across it, making a mess of things. The combined energy is still hefty at 3318, but it's all for nothing with that onshore chop. This poor run continues through Friday and Saturday, with the swell dropping and the wind staying nasty. We're talking a few days of nothing but frustration.
After that dry spell, things start to get interesting. The first real standout comes on Sunday the 30th of August. The morning is looking magic. An 8ft SSW groundswell, with a long period of 18 seconds, will be pumping in, and the combined energy is a massive 4100. The wind switches to a light 15 km/h NE breeze, which is a clean cross-off shore. This is prime for experienced surfers – the size and power are there, but the conditions will be clean. Sunday afternoon holds the same excellent vibe.
Monday the 31st has some potential early. A 7ft SSW swell with a fresh 35 km/h NNW offshore wind will keep things clean, but the energy is a bit lower at 1928 and the forecast is marginal. It's a decent option, but not a standout.
Then on Tuesday the 1st of September, we get another cracker. The afternoon session is the one to aim for. The wind drops to a glassy 5 km/h from the WSW, and you've got a 7ft SSW groundswell arriving. The water is sitting at 17°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. This is excellent for experienced surfers again.
The following week has some big, powerful swells, but the wind is often a problem. On Wednesday the 2nd, we see 10ft SSW swell, but with cross-shore winds. The 7th and 8th of September see massive 12ft swells with combined energy over 7000, but the break looks like it's just too big for Twilight Beach, even with good wind. That's a big call. For the rest of the second week, the swell drops back to a more manageable 4ft to 5ft, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, so the quality will be poor to marginal.
Overall, the pick of the period is undoubtedly Sunday the 30th of August. Get out there for the morning session if you're a confident surfer. The Tuesday afternoon glass-off on the 1st of September is a very close second.
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.

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.
