The Lowdown
Alright, amigos, Rusty here. Let’s talk surf. There’s only one spot in the whole forecast, so I’ll keep it simple. The first few days are a bust—lots of swell but the wind is just ripping it to pieces.
The break is Twilight Beach. The early part of the run has some serious size, with 10-foot SSW swells, but it’s hammered by strong cross and cross-on winds. The energy reading is off the charts, like 5285, but it’s all chop and lump. Don’t bother.
The real prize comes on Tuesday, September 15th morning. Get on it. A light 6 mph offshore breeze from the NNE will be grooming a solid 8-foot SSW swell. The period is 14 seconds, so it’s got real power, but it’s a beach break, so it’ll be a bit fast and walled-up. Still, it’s the cleanest, biggest wave of the whole two weeks, with a combined energy of 2179. This is for the experienced crew only—anything over 8 feet is expert territory, and this is right on the edge.
The next morning, Wednesday, September 16th morning, is also a beauty. A bit smaller at just over 5 feet, but with another clean offshore wind. It’s a great, less intimidating option for a strong intermediate.
There’s another massive pulse of 10-foot SSW swell on Monday, September 21st, with the energy reading hitting 5921. But the wind is going to be messy again, blowing cross-shore, so it’ll be a choppy, frustrating session. A lot of power, but no peace.
If you want the cleanest, most powerful surf, your best bet is Tuesday, September 15th morning at Twilight Beach. Don’t sleep on it.

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.
