Twilight Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming down the line for Twilight Beach.

First off, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The surf through Monday 14th is pretty ordinary – a solid 7ft of SSW swell, but the wind’s howling from the SSE at 12 mph, making it cross-on and choppy. The water temp is sitting at 61°, which is about normal for this time of year. Monday afternoon is even worse, with the swell jumping to 8ft and a fresh SE breeze making a mess of things.

Tuesday 15th shapes up a little better. Morning sees a 8ft SSW swell with an ENE cross-off breeze at 16 mph, and the waves are clean. Not the best day of the week, but it’s a start. The combined energy is moderate at 2210. Tuesday afternoon gets lumpy again with a cross-shore breeze.

Wednesday 16th morning is where it starts to feel like a real surf day. Clear skies, a 6ft SSW swell, and a NE wind at 12 mph blowing cross-off, keeping it clean. The combined energy is still moderate at 1673. Wednesday afternoon the wind turns cross, but the swell drops a touch.

Now, Thursday 17th. The swell is dropping to 4ft in the morning, but here’s the thing – the wind goes offshore from the north at 16 mph, giving us clean waves. The combined energy is weak (565), but it’s glassy and clean. Thursday afternoon the swell is 3ft, still with a moderate offshore breeze.

But hold on. Friday 18th afternoon is the first real standout. The swell picks back up to 6ft from the WSW, the period is a solid 13 seconds, and the wind drops to a glassy 3 mph from the NNW. The combined energy is moderate at 1108, and the waves are glassy. This is the one to circle. It’s clean, it’s got some push, and the wind is perfect.

Saturday 19th is a write-off – a near gale from the west at 34 mph makes it dangerous and messy. Forget it.

Sunday 20th morning is another gem. A 7ft SSW swell, light WNW wind at 6 mph blowing cross-off, and the combined energy is moderate at 1380. The conditions are clean and excellent for experienced surfers. This is a good call for anyone who can handle a bit of size.

Monday 21st morning brings a bigger 10ft SSW swell with a very long 16-second period, but the wind is light and cross. The combined energy is strong at 3847. That’s expert territory, and the long period might make it a bit straight at the beach, but for those with the skills, there’s plenty of power.

The rest of that week and into the next is a mixed bag of lumpy cross-shore winds and questionable conditions. Thursday 24th morning pops up again – a 6ft SSW swell with a light NE cross-off breeze, clean and excellent for experienced surfers.

Friday 25th morning is the last true standout in this run. A 7ft SSW swell, a 15-second period, and a glassy 3 mph wind from the NW, blowing cross-off. The combined energy is moderate at 1762, and it’s clean as a whistle. Another one for the experienced crew.

Saturday 26th sees a massive 13ft SSW swell with a 19-second period, but a strong cross-on wind from the SSW at 25 mph makes it a total mess. The combined energy is very strong at 11381, but it’s not for paddling – this is kite-surfing territory if anything.

Sunday 27th morning cleans up again with a 8ft SSW swell, a 16-second period, and a light ENE cross-off breeze. Clean and excellent for experienced surfers.

Overall, the best windows are Friday 18th afternoon, Sunday 20th morning, Thursday 24th morning, and Friday 25th morning. Crowds are possible at Twilight Beach, so keep an eye out. The long-period swells are going to have some serious juice, so pick your spot wisely.

Stay safe out there.
