Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Twilight Beach has in store for us over the next few weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, but once the swell kicks in, there's some proper magic on the horizon.
The initial days are quiet, but the action really starts to build from Monday, July 6th. The first session of the week is a beauty: Monday morning sees a clean 5-foot SSW groundswell rolling in with a long 15-second period. The wind is light offshore from the NNE at 3 mph, so the surface will be glassy and perfect. The combined wave energy is sitting at a solid 974 (moderate), meaning there’s plenty of push for your board. This is the standout window for the coming days – absolutely ideal conditions for an intermediate surfer. Just be aware that crowds are possible here, so get out early to grab your share.
As we move into Monday afternoon, the wind switches to a cross-onshore and the swell bumps up a touch, but the quality drops right off. That morning session is the one to aim for.
Tuesday, July 7th, brings a bigger, more powerful swell. Morning conditions are clean with an offshore breeze, and a solid 7-foot SSW groundswell at a very long 17-second period. The energy is cranking at 3744 (strong), so this is proper groundswell. For a beach break, a period that long can sometimes make the waves a bit too straight, but with the offshore wind, it’ll be holding good shape. This is only for experienced surfers – it's a fair step up in size and power. The afternoon gets messy as the wind goes cross-shore and the swell pushes 10 feet, making it a full-on expert zone and not great quality.
Wednesday, July 8th, offers a return to cleaner conditions. Both the morning and afternoon have clean surf with offshore or cross-offshore winds. Swell drops slightly to 6 feet from the SSW with a 15-second period. The energy is moderate to strong (1568 and 1839), and the quality is excellent for experienced surfers. A very solid day all round.
Thursday, July 9th, starts clean but gets blown out by the afternoon. The morning is your best bet, with a 6-foot SW swell and clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is still moderate at 1167. After that, things get messy as a strong wind kicks up, leading to poor conditions through Friday and into the weekend.
Now, the weekend from Saturday, July 11th, is a write-off for paddle surfing. A massive 16-foot SSW swell hits on Saturday with ferocious energy at 9703 (very strong), but it's accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds. This setup is frankly dangerous and ugly for surfing – more of a kitesurfer's dream than ours. Sunday isn't much better; the swell is still oversized at 12 feet early, and despite lighter winds, it's simply too big for this break and the conditions remain poor.
Things settle down again from Monday, July 13th. The Monday morning session looks great with a clean 7-foot SSW swell (period 16 seconds) and light offshore wind. Energy is strong at 2630. This is another one for the experienced crew.
The pattern continues through the middle of the month. Tuesday, July 14th, offers another clean morning with an 8-foot SSW swell – big, powerful, and clean. That's for experts only, but the quality is top-notch.
The best run of the outlook, however, might be from Wednesday, July 15th, through Thursday, July 16th. The swell drops to a more manageable 4–6 feet from the SSW/SW, with a 13–14 second period. The wind goes firmly offshore, and the conditions are clean. The energy on Thursday afternoon is a healthy 1044 (moderate). This is accessible, clean, and fun for intermediate surfers – a proper run of good waves.
Looking further out, there's a promising window on Monday, July 20th. We get glassy conditions with a 6-foot SSW swell and a 13–14 second period. The energy is moderate to strong, and the forecast is for excellent surf. This is a standout for the second week, though like all long-range calls, it's promising but a little less certain.
The final highlight is Tuesday, July 21st, with a clean 7-foot SSW groundswell (16-second period) and a light offshore breeze. Strong energy at 2166 rounds out the outlook on a high note.
All in all, Twilight Beach has a solid run of surf, but you have to pick your moments. The Monday morning (July 6th) and the mid-week sessions (July 8th, 15th, 16th) are the real highlights for cleaner, more manageable conditions. The big weekend swell is for experts only or the kite crew. Stay safe out there.
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.
