The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s coming up for Twilight Beach.

The next week and a half is a real mixed bag. For the first few days, we've got wind and lumpy conditions making it tough, but there are some windows that will turn it on, especially for the experienced crew. The water temperature is sitting at 62.5°F, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The whole run starts a bit grim. Friday, August 28th, is a write-off with a fresh cross-onshore wind at 18.6 mph ruining the 5.2 ft SW swell. Saturday the 29th isn't much better, with a moderate cross-shore making a mess of things, despite some long-period groundswell (19-21 seconds) rolling in.

Sunday, August 30th is where it starts to get interesting. We've got a beautiful morning with clear skies and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 9.3 mph. That 8.2 ft SSW swell (18 seconds) will be clean. The combined energy is very strong (4332), and it’s going to be a solid day for intermediate to expert surfers. That afternoon looks even better, with excellent conditions and the same clean 8.2 ft swell. This is one of the true standouts.

Monday the 31st is a game of two halves. The morning offers a stiff offshore at 18.6 mph from the NNW with a 6.6 ft SSW swell – clean but challenging. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SSW and it's back to poor surf.

Tuesday, September 1st, the swell dips a little but hangs around 7.2 ft to 7.9 ft with a light cross-onshore wind. The quality is marginal, but it’s surfable.

We get another run of clean conditions from Friday, September 4th morning. The WNW cross-offshore wind at 12.4 mph will groom that 9.8 ft SSW swell nicely. That’s a big one, so definitely for the experienced crowd only. The energy is very strong (3452 and 3920). It's a serious option.

The weekend of September 5th and 6th is blown out again with fresh onshore winds and big, lumpy surf. Not worth the paddle.

Now, here’s the next highlight. Monday, September 7th morning is a beauty. Glassy conditions, complete calm from the WNW, with an 8.2 ft SSW swell. That is going to be perfection for a few hours for the experienced surfer. The combined energy is strong (2268).

Then, a couple of mornings really stand out. Tuesday, September 8th morning brings a clean, gentle offshore from the NNE at 9.3 mph with a 5.2 ft SSW swell. This is your chance if you want something a bit smaller and cleaner.

Wednesday, September 9th morning is another top pick. A moderate offshore from the N at 12.4 mph with a 7.2 ft SSW, 16-second groundswell. Clean and powerful.

We then hit a period where the swell gets too big. On Thursday, September 10th, it jumps to a massive 11.5 ft SSW swell. The wind is favorable (offshore and cross-off), but the wave energy is extreme (8765) – this is for expert chargers only and the spot might be maxing out. The same goes for Friday the 11th with a 13.1 ft swell.

The run wraps up on Saturday, September 12th. The morning looks promising with light winds and an 8.2 ft SSW swell, but the afternoon gets choppy again.

So, to sum it up, your best bets for a quality session are the morning of Sunday, August 30th and the morning of Monday, September 7th, with the other clean mornings in early September being solid, more manageable options. The big days around Sept 10-11 are for the slab-hunters only.

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.
