The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Twilight Beach has on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
It’s a bit of a slow burn to start. We're looking at Tuesday the 25th of August with a clean, 6 ft SSW swell pushing in, but the tide and conditions are a bit so-so – it’s just not quite coming together for a proper session. That 13-second period is there (1033 combined energy), but you’ll be scratching around.
The real fire starts on Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning is the standout of the whole run. We’ve got a 7 ft SW swell, a whopping 15-second period, and a light NNW cross-off breeze keeping it clean. The energy is very strong (2224) and this is going to be a session for the experienced crew. It’s solid, powerful groundswell – the kind that hums through the water. If you can handle it, this is the best wave you'll see for a while.
The wind flips on Wednesday arvo, so get on it early.
Thursday the 27th is blown out by a strong ESE cross-shore, making a mess of that 8 ft swell – a shame, because the size is there. Friday the 28th of August is a weird one; you get a glassy, 5 ft swell in the morning with zero wind (1350 energy), and it should be clean, but the wave rating is still middling. Saturday morning the 29th drops right off to 3 ft.
Now, look out for Sunday the 30th of August. The morning session is dialed: a bone-crunching 10 ft SSW groundswell (4660 energy) with a clean 17-second period and a light offshore breeze. This is big, deep water energy – only for the experienced, but if you’re fit and keen, it’s a proper spectacle.
Everything after Sunday gets bumpy. Swell sticks around, but the wind turns onshore or cross-on for most of the week. The morning of Thursday the 3rd of September offers a clean, small 3 ft wave with a great 17-second period, just for a cruise. Then we get another pulse of size on Friday the 4th – 8 ft – but it’s cross-off and a bit messy.
Brace for the 5th and 6th of September. The 5th brings a 13 ft monster that's just too big for this break – the forecast says it’s beyond the limit for Twilight. And the 6th keeps that energy going with a 10-13 ft SW swell and fresh NW winds, but again, it’s too much.
We do get a golden moment on Wednesday morning the 9th of September. A 8 ft SSW groundswell (2539 energy) with absolutely glassy conditions and a light NW breeze. That’s the other standout for the experienced surfer – clean, powerful faces with no wind.
So, grab Wednesday the 26th of August morning if you want the first real taste of quality power, and pencil in Sunday the 30th of August morning and Wednesday the 9th of September morning for the best of the bigger stuff. The rest of it is a mix of onshore chop or swell that’s just plain too big.
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.
