Table - best surf conditions forecast for Twilight Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's get into it. We’re looking at a wild stretch at Twilight Beach. The swell is going to be pumping from the SSW, but the wind is going to be the big factor. Saturday kicks things off with a messy 8ft of SSW swell and a 11-second period, but a strong cross-onshore wind is making it choppy – not a good way to start. The energy is already cooking (2601 ft²), but forget about a clean wave. Sunday pushes the swell to 10ft with a long 16-second period, but that fresh cross-shore wind is creating lumpy chaos.
Here’s the real highlight: Tuesday, July 14th. This is the one. Morning brings clear skies and a light offshore breeze from the north at 6 mph. The water’s glassy, and we’ve still got 10ft of SSW groundswell with a very long 15-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 3749 ft². That offshore wind is going to hold the faces open for some powerful, clean takeoffs. This is expert territory – that size and long period means fast, heavy waves. The afternoon drops to 8ft with a slight cross-shore, still clean, but the morning is the winner.
Wednesday drops way down to 5-6ft, clean with offshore winds, but the energy is weak (1172 ft²), so it’s a smaller, quieter day. Thursday, July 16th offers another window: 7ft of SSW swell with a 16-second period and a strong offshore from the NNW, but that wind is 19 mph, so it’s gusty but clean. The afternoon is better, with a moderate offshore from the NNE, and the call is excellent for experienced surfers.
Then things go bonkers. Saturday, July 19th sees 15-16ft of SSW swell with monster energy (9262 ft²), but it’s onshore and way too big. This spot is going to be a washout – maybe interesting for the kite crowd. The week after that settles into the 7-8ft range with mainly cross-onshore winds, keeping the quality marginal. The long-range standouts are the 14th and 16th, but the big swells later are only for the brave, and crowds at Twilight can get busy when it’s good.
So, the play here is straightforward: hit Tuesday the 14th morning, and maybe Thursday the 16th afternoon. Everything else is either too big, too windy, or just average. Keep your wits about you.

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.
