Table - best surf conditions forecast for Twilight Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down.
Twilight Beach is the only game in town, and it’s a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at 62°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The first real chance to get wet is Thursday afternoon, July 9th. We’ve got a 5ft SW swell at 13 seconds rolling in, with glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (890), and it’s looking clean. It’s a solid start, but not the standout.
The real standout, the one you want to circle, is Tuesday morning, July 14th. The wind swings north, going light offshore at just 3 mph, and we’ve got a 10ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period. The energy is strong (4456), and the conditions are clean. This is a big swell, over 8ft, so it’s strictly for experienced surfers – this is not a beginner’s day. The long period will make it wall up nicely at this fairly exposed break, but it’s going to be powerful.
There’s another good window later in the week. Wednesday afternoon, July 15th, sees a cleaner, smaller option: 5ft SSW swell, 13 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the north at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (908), and it’s clean. That’s a much more manageable size for intermediates.
The second week gets a bit messy. There’s a promising window on the morning of July 22nd, with an 8ft SSW swell, 17-second period, and light onshore breeze, but it’s a big, powerful swell (energy 4029). The following afternoon, July 23rd, looks better with an 8ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, and glassy conditions turning it clean. That’s a solid option for the second week, but it’s further out, so keep an eye on it.
For the rest, be warned: there are long stretches of poor conditions, especially from Friday the 10th right through to Sunday the 12th, with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf. The swell is too big and messy for a good paddle. That setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
So, in short: the best bet is Tuesday morning, July 14th, for the experienced crew. For the rest of us, Wednesday afternoon, July 15th, is your cleaner, more manageable option.

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.
