The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what we’ve got coming up at Twilight Beach.
The outlook kicks off on Friday the 17th with a 4ft SW swell, but with a 35 km/h NNW cross-off wind punching through, it’s just messy and you’re better off giving it a miss. Water temp is sitting at 62°, pretty average for this time of year.
Saturday the 18th stays poor – a 3ft SW swell with that same 35 km/h cross-off breeze makes it a no-go both morning and afternoon.
But then Sunday the 19th, things start to rumble. A 7ft SW swell shows up, 16-second period, and a clean 20 km/h W cross-off wind in the morning. It’s big, over 8ft is expert territory – this is at 7ft, so it’s getting into that experienced zone. The combined swell energy is a solid 2192 – moderate to strong. The afternoon drops slightly to 6ft with a light SW cross-on, still rideable for the confident surfer.
Monday the 20th is where it gets interesting. Morning session has a 7ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and a 10 km/h N offshore wind – that’s glassy, clean, and lined up. combined energy is 1643. Afternoon cleans up even more with 7ft and a 5 km/h offshore. This is easily the best on offer in the first week – for experienced surfers.
Tuesday the 21st goes downhill pretty fast – 6ft SSW swell but a 15 km/h W cross-shore brings chop, and the afternoon gets ruined by a 30 km/h onshore. Not worth it.
Wednesday the 22nd has a big 10ft SSW swell rolling in, 14-second period, but it’s a light cross-on breeze both morning and afternoon. That’s expert-only territory, and the wind isn’t doing it any favours, so it’s marginal.
Thursday the 23rd brings the standout of the whole forecast. Morning session: 8ft SSW swell, 15-second period, clear skies, and a 10 km/h NW cross-off breeze. That’s clean, powerful groundswell with a combined energy of 2665. This is a true highlight – for experienced surfers, this is going to be special.
Friday the 24th sees the swell ease to 7ft SSW, 13-second period, and a morning NW cross-off at 15 km/h keeps conditions tidy. Good, solid surf. Afternoon gets a light onshore, so grab the morning.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th drops off a bit. Saturday the 25th has a 6ft SW swell with a 20 km/h W cross-off – clean but nothing special. Sunday the 26th has a very long 20-second period SSW swell at just 3ft in the morning, clean and offshore – that’s a weird one, long gaps between sets, best on a point or reef.
Now, jumping into the second week.
Monday the 27th of July is a monster morning: 10ft SSW, 16-second period, 20 km/h NNW cross-off – combined energy 5238. Afternoon gets even stronger at 7210 combined energy with a 10 km/h NW cross-off. That’s exceptional but only for experts, and it’s a long way out so keep an eye on it.
Tuesday the 28th drops to 7ft SSW but winds go cross and cross-on, choppy.
Wednesday the 29th holds 7ft SSW but fresh cross-off winds in the morning – okay but not the best.
Thursday the 30th has a 7ft SSW swell with a fresh 30 km/h offshore NNW wind – clean, but the swell energy is high. Afternoon drops to 4ft with an 18-second period SW swell – that’s a long period groundswell, best on a point or reef, not a beach.
Friday the 31st and into Saturday the 1st of August get messy with strong cross and onshore winds, not worth paddling out for.
Overall, the standout sessions are Monday the 20th morning for that 7ft with glassy offshore, and Thursday the 23rd morning for the 8ft clean groundswell. If you’re experienced and patient, the 27th could be a cracker too, but it’s further out.

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.
