The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Bloody hell, what a mixed bag we’ve got coming up at Twilight Beach. The next couple of weeks are a real rollercoaster, with some proper standouts tucked in amongst a whole lot of junk. We’ve got a big gap at the start here, with nothing worthwhile on the Tuesday the 28th July – the wind is onshore and the conditions are just marginal. Hang tight, because the good stuff starts to show on Wednesday the 29th.

Wednesday the 29th July is where it kicks off. Wednesday morning, the wind swings offshore from the NNW at a light 6 mph, and that 10ft SSW swell (13-second period) is solid. The combined swell energy is a hefty 2547 (moderate to strong), but because it’s over 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The water temp is 62°F, which is about average for the time of year. Wednesday afternoon gets even better – the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the east, with the swell still a fun 8ft from the SSW. That’s the best of the first few days, no question.

Thursday the 30th July is still worth a look. The morning has a solid 5ft SSW swell (15-second period) with a NNW offshore wind at 16 mph. The combined energy is 1363 (moderate), and it’s clean. That afternoon, the swell drops to 5ft but the wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE, making for clean lines. The stand-out window, though, is Friday the 31st July afternoon. The wind is a clean offshore from the north at 9 mph, the swell is a cracking 8ft from the SSW, and the period is a very long 17 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 4080 (strong). This is a true groundswell – long period, lots of push, and it’ll be breaking clean. It’s big, so strictly for the experienced crew, but this is as good as it gets in this outlook.

Now, Saturday the 1st of August is a write-off. The swell jumps to a massive 15ft from the SSW, and the wind is onshore and howling from the south at 19 mph. The combined energy is a crazy 14752 (very strong). That’s too big and blown out. Sunday the 2nd has a cleaner 10ft SSW swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the NE. It’s okay, but not the standout.

There’s a bit of a lull through the start of the following week. Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th have surf, but the wind is strong – 19 to 28 mph. The swell is smaller (4ft to 7ft) but the periods on Tuesday are very long (18-19 seconds). The combined energy is around 1894 to 2507 (moderate to strong). The strong offshore wind will make it clean, but it’s hard work paddling into. More of a challenge than a classic session.

Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon has a spike in size with an 12ft WSW swell, but the wind is onshore from the SSE. That’s a big, messy wave. The next real highlight is a bit further out – Friday the 7th of August. The morning has an 12ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period, and the combined energy is 9158 (strong). The wind is a strong cross-offshore from the NW at 28 mph. It’s clean, but that’s a full-on, big swell for proper experts only. The afternoon is the same story.

The rest of the second week, from the 8th to the 12th of August, is a story of size and wind. The swell stays big – 8ft to 20ft – with strong to near gale-force winds. The combined energy readings are through the roof (5190 to 13562). It’s consistently too big and messy for a good paddle session. If you’re into kite surfing, this setup with that much swell and strong wind will look interesting, but for a surfboard, it’s a mission. The best bet in that second week is probably Sunday the 9th of August morning, but at 13ft SW with strong winds, it’s a stretch.

So, to wrap it up: your clear standouts are Wednesday afternoon the 29th July (glassy, 8ft SSW) and Friday afternoon the 31st July (clean offshore, 8ft SSW, very long period). Everything else is either too big, too windy, or marginal. The crowds at Twilight Beach can sometimes be a factor, so get there early for those highlights.

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.
