The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.

The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag down at Twilight Beach, but there are a couple of real standouts if you're patient and picky. The water temp is about average for this time of year at 61°.

First, the overall pattern. We've got a consistent pulse of SSW groundswell running through the entire forecast, which is good. But the problem is the wind. For the first week, it's mostly cross or cross-on with moderate to fresh breezes, making for a lot of lumpy, choppy, or just messy conditions. It's not a complete write-off, but you’ll be working for it.

Monday, the 14th, kicks off with a 7 ft SSW swell but a cross-on SSE wind at 12 mph. It's choppy, and the combined wave energy is a hefty 2292, so there's power there, but it's not clean. There's really nothing to recommend here for a paddle.

The pattern trundles on through Tuesday and Wednesday with similar swell sizes (6 ft to 8 ft) and a lot of cross or cross-off winds. Not terrible, but not firing either. Thursday the 17th is interesting as the wind finally swings offshore from the North at 16 mph. The swell drops to 4 ft, but the 15-second period means it's quality. It's clean but small.

Friday the 18th is even smaller at 3 ft, with a 13-second period. There's just not enough juice.

The first real standout window arrives on the morning of Sunday, the 20th of September. This is the best on offer in the first week. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period. The combined energy is 2355. But the money is the light offshore WNW wind at just 6 mph. This is where a surfer with some experience should head straight. The offshore wind will line those waves up beautifully. It'll be clean, powerful, and with that energy, there will be some proper runners. Beginners should stay away though, 7 ft is on the edge of their zone.

After that Sunday morning window, things go a bit ragged again with cross-shore winds and lumpy seas. It's not worth a full trip.

Now, the second week and the absolute standout of the entire 16-day outlook. Look no further than the morning of Friday, the 25th of September. The report shows an 8 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 16-second period and a combined energy of 3374. That is a serious amount of power. But the wind? It’s going to be flat calm. Glassy. Absolutely dead still with an easterly breeze of only 3 mph. That is a recipe for perfection at Twilight Beach. This is a session for experienced surfers only. That 8 ft with a 16-second period will be a handful, breaking fast and with a lot of water moving. But for the crew that can handle it, that Friday morning is the clear pick of the whole forecast.

Saturday the 26th sees the swell blow out to 13 ft. That’s too big for this break to be surfable, it'll be a washing machine. The following week drops back into the 7 ft to 8 ft range, but the winds are back to being messy and cross-shore. The pattern on the 28th and 29th of September shows clean conditions again with WNW winds, but the energy and consistency don't quite match that Friday the 25th. The standouts are Sunday the 20th morning, and most of all, Friday the 25th morning.

Stay stoked.

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.
