The Lowdown

Alright, let's get down to it. It’s Rusty here. Looking at what's on offer for our stretch of coast, I'll be honest with you – the next week to ten days is going to be a test of will. We got a long stretch of mediocre, junky surf to work through before we see anything that gets the heart beating faster. So, if you're itching for a wave, you might want to find something else to do for a while.

The first real chance to even look at the ocean is Thursday morning, the 10th. There's a 6ft SSW groundswell, but the energy is weak. The wind will be cross-offshore from the ENE, which should keep the surface reasonably clean. It's surfable, but it won't be memorable. The period is a solid 15 seconds, so there’s some push behind it, but the strength just isn’t there. Don't get too excited.

Friday the 11th starts off a little weaker, but the afternoon turns to rubbish as the wind swings around to the SE, making everything choppy and onshore. The morning might be worth a look if you're jonesing, but manage your expectations.

Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are basically a bust. Saturday sees strong westerly winds creating lumpy, cross-shore chop. Sunday morning isn't any better, but the afternoon offers a brief moment of peace with the wind turning light and the swell easing to about 4ft. Tide might be a factor, so it's a bit of a gamble. Probably better to find something else to do.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. We've got a solid pulse of SSW groundswell filling in for Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th. Monday morning sees the swell jump to 10ft but with onshore SE winds it will be a blown-out, choppy mess. Not the day. Tuesday looks like the pick of this little run. The morning cleans up with a nice ENE cross-offshore breeze and still has a beefy 8ft of SSW swell at 15 seconds. The longer period will make the paddle out a bit easier, and the shape should be there. But remember, 8ft plus isn't for the faint-hearted; that's expert territory. The afternoon goes to mush with onshore winds, so you need to be an early bird.

The middle of the next week, Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, settles down but doesn't get any better. Winds keep messing with things. The standout in this stretch is Thursday morning, the 17th. It’s the first time the models are calling for "very good surf conditions." Expect clean lines and a more manageable 5ft SSW swell with light offshore winds. Light winds, clean surf, that’s your window.

Friday the 18th sees the swell drop off significantly, down to around 4ft. The cross-offshore winds will keep it clean, but it's going to be pretty weak and small. Better suited for a longboard and a lazy morning.

Then, hold onto your hat. That Saturday, the 19th, is looking like a serious pulse of energy. A big SW swell is forecast to roll in, with the swell height predicted to hit 15ft on the morning. The problem is, that's way too big for our little corner of the coast. It will be shutting down and closing out. The afternoon is a complete mess with strong SW cross-onshore winds. Complete pass.

The next couple of days are still big and messy. Sunday the 20th has 10ft+ surf but onshore winds shred it. The afternoon sees a huge 13ft swell, but again, way too big and cross-shore. It’s going to be dangerous and unruly.

Now, for the long-range stuff, things finally get good. Monday the 21st brings a 10ft SSW swell with clean, gentle offshore winds. The energy is strong, and it has the potential to be an excellent day for experienced surfers.

But the real standout, the one you should be circling in your calendar, is Tuesday morning, the 22nd. The forecast is for a clean, glassy morning. There’s a solid 10ft SSW groundswell with a very long 17-second period. The energy is pumping. The water will be glassy, the lines will be long and grinding. This is a proper groundswell, and this break can handle it. It’s got the potential to be the best day of the entire month. Mark it down.

The last few days, Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th, are just massive. Swells are predicted to be between 12ft and 15ft, with incredibly high energy levels. These swells are simply too big for this spot. It’s a sight to behold, but not a day to be in the water unless you’re a big-wave charger.

So, to sum it up: the first week is all about being patient and picking the small windows, like Thursday morning or next Thursday. The real rewards are there for those willing to wait for the 21st and especially the 22nd. The energy will be huge and the conditions could be epic. Fingers crossed it all lines up.

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.
