The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s take a look at what Twilight Beach has on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Water temp is sittin' pretty average for the season, so no surprises there.
The big news is the size. We’ve got a big pulse of swell comin’ through, but the first few days are hit and miss. Tuesday the 4th starts off with a clean 1.4m SSW swell, 15-second period, and a cross-off breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 1633, so there are some fun little waves. But Tuesday afternoon jumps to 2.1m with chop and a cross-on wind – not worth your time.
Wednesday the 5th morning is a real standout for the experienced crew. You’re looking at 2.1m from the SW, 16-second period, clean conditions with a cross-off breeze. Combined energy is 2201. That long period groundswell will give you some nice shaped waves, but at this beach it might get a bit straight. Still, it’s the cleanest surf of the early week.
Thursday the 6th morning is also a winner – offshore breeze, 2.5m SSW swell, 16-second period, energy hitting 3832. Clean, powerful lines for those who can handle it. Thursday afternoon holds with a light offshore.
Friday the 7th is choppy and cross-shore, nothing special.
Saturday the 8th through Tuesday the 12th is a mess. We’re talking 5m to 6m waves with gale-force winds on Saturday, and combined energy values up to 13480 and 23550. This is blown out, dangerous, and better suited for kite surfing than paddling. The swell stays huge – 4m to 6m – through Monday and Tuesday, with the forecast saying it’s just too big for the break. Stay out of the water unless you’ve got a death wish.
The second week starts to turn around.
Thursday the 13th morning: 3m SSW groundswell, 16-second period, clean with a cross-off. Energy is 4821 and strong. That’s for experts only – 3m is heavy.
Friday the 14th morning cleans up with a 2.1m SSW swell, offshore wind, and clean conditions. Energy is 2012. Good, solid fun for the capable intermediate.
Saturday and Sunday the 15th and 16th are smaller but clean, with swell around 2m to 2.4m. A nice cruise, but nothing to sprint for.
Monday the 17th morning is glassy with a 3.5m SW swell and a 17-second period. Energy is 9936 – very strong. The wind is dead calm, but the size is massive. Only for the bravest experts who know the bank well.
Tuesday the 18th is the real gem. Morning brings a moderate offshore, 2.1m SSW swell, 16-second period, clean (energy 2262). Then Tuesday afternoon goes dead glassy with 1.9m SSW swell. That afternoon session is the best of the whole run – clean, smooth, and with crowds only possible, not guaranteed. Perfect conditions.
So here’s the call: Wednesday morning the 5th and Thursday morning the 6th are your early standouts for the experienced. But if you can wait, Tuesday afternoon the 18th is the absolute winner – a 1.9m SSW groundswell with glassy, clean conditions.
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.
