The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
Okay, let’s have a look. The next couple of days are a bit of a bust for Two Ways. We’ve got some weak, short-period SSE swell, but the cross-onshore winds are gonna chop it all up. The energy is only around 624 to 668, which is weak to moderate. It’s not worth the paddle. You’ll just be fighting a bumpy mess. Forget Thursday and Friday; that’s a gap of nothing. Water temp is about 85°F, which is normal for the season.
Saturday the 16th shows a flicker of life. The swell drops a touch to about 4ft, but that early morning glass-off with a light SSW breeze of 3 mph is the first real window. The energy is still weak (371), but it’ll be clean and small. It’s not a standout, but it’s surfable.
Then Monday the 17th, things get real. The swell jumps, and the period spikes to 21 seconds, with strong energy at 2315. That’s a proper groundswell pushing in from the SSW. But, the wind is cross-onshore and it'll be bumpy. By Tuesday the 18th, the swell tops out around 7ft with an 18-second period, energy at 2631. It’s big, but messy. A lot of water moving.
The standout is Wednesday morning the 19th. The wind finally swings to the NNW and goes offshore at 6 mph. The swell is still a solid 6ft from the S with a 16-second period, energy at 2075. This is the one. Clean, powerful, and holding shape. This is the pick of the whole window. Make it happen.
Thursday the 20th is still decent, but the swell eases to about 5ft. Winds stay light cross-off, and it’s clean. Not as powerful, though. Friday the 21st fizzles out quickly.
From the 22nd to the 24th, it’s pretty much flat and poor. Onshore winds and weak swell, totally a no-go. Another little gap.
The long-range stuff, down for the 26th through the 29th, is promising but you have to wait. There’s a consistent SSW swell building. The 26th shows clean conditions with glassy mornings, and then a really good run of glassy conditions from the 28th through the 29th. The energy is back in the 1200-1700 range. The 28th afternoon and the 29th look prime, with dead calm winds. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a maybe, but the signs are all there.
Remember, with this longer-period swell, Two Ways is a reef, so it should handle it well. The 19th is the day.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Two Ways can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Two Ways 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.

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 Two Ways 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.
