The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s coming at Twilight Beach over the next couple of weeks.
The first proper window kicks off Saturday morning, August 22. We’ve got a clean, moderate north offshore with 7 ft SSW swell at 14 seconds. Water temp is 61°, right on the average for this time of year. Swell energy is strong, reading 2997 – that’s a solid push. This one’s for the experienced crew only, it’s got some weight.
That window slams shut quick. Saturday afternoon goes cross-on, and Sunday is a total loss with strong cross-onshore winds and showers. Monday August 24 bumps to 8 ft SSW, but it’s lumpy and cross-on – nothing special. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings are cleaner with lighter cross-off breezes, but swell drops to around 6-7 ft. Just okay.
Now, the real standout: Saturday morning, August 30. Sunny, gentle offshore from the NNE, and a 7 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 20-second period. That’s a proper groundswell – fat, clean, and powerful, with long waits between sets. Combined energy is a thumping 4493. This is the best morning of the whole run for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible here sometimes, and you can bet there’ll be a few others keen.
The following Monday morning, August 31, also looks great: 8 ft SW swell with a 16-second period and light offshore. Clean lines, but that Saturday is the pick. Tuesday September 1 holds smaller 5 ft SSW swell with clean conditions before the winds turn onshore.
Then it gets big. September 4 and 5 bring massive SSW swell from 13 to nearly 15 ft, with 16-17 second periods. Offshore winds are clean, but this is way too big for Twilight Beach. Only for experts with a death wish. Swell energy hits insane numbers (over 12000). Most of us will be watching from the sand.
From September 6, winds go onshore and the surf gets messy. So your window is those late August mornings.
That’s the picture.
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.
