Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Twilight Beach. We’ve got a full 16-day window, but a few rough days to sit through first.
The first real swell to get excited about hits on Monday the 13th, but it’s a big one. We’re looking at a solid 12ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, pumping a massive 5808 units of energy. That’s a lot of power, but honestly, it’s too big for this break. The wind is a cross-on 9 mph from the SW, making it choppy and tough. This one is for the experts only, and even then, it’s a handful. The water is 62°, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The real standout of the whole forecast, and the one I’d be circling on the calendar, is Tuesday morning, July 14th. The swell drops to a much more manageable 8ft from the SSW, still a nice long 15-second period. The wind goes light and cross-off from the NNW at 6 mph, and the report says “clean” conditions. That’s the window for experienced surfers to get some proper, lined-up waves without the fight. The energy is still a solid 3118, so there’s plenty of push.
We get a few more good windows through the week. Wednesday afternoon the 15th looks clean with offshore winds and 6ft swell, and Thursday the 16th has moderate offshore winds keeping things tidy with 7ft waves. These are all solid, but the Tuesday morning is the top pick.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th offers some smaller, cleaner options with 5ft to 7ft SSW swell and offshore winds, but the energy drops off. By Monday the 21st, things get messy again with a big 12ft SW swell and cross-on wind, so that’s a write-off.
The second week from the 22nd onward shows a few more chances. Wednesday the 22nd afternoon has a clean 7ft SSW swell with light winds – a solid pick for experienced surfers. Thursday the 23rd is a bit wind-affected, but Saturday the 25th morning looks promising with a clean 7ft SSW and offshore breeze. The very end of the run, Sunday the 26th, has some big 8ft SSW swell but with strong cross-off winds, making it a bit of a gamble.
Crowds are “sometimes” a problem at Twilight Beach, so on the best days, expect some company, but it’s not always packed.
All in all, if you’re an experienced surfer, Tuesday July 14th is your day. For the rest of us, the cleaner, smaller windows around the 15th and 20th are worth a look.
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.
