Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cooking for my local patch.

Alright, it's a bit of a slow start, but there’s a nice run of clean, consistent waves coming through for Two Ways that we need to talk about. We've got a couple of standouts in the first week that are gonna be worth the paddle out, with a real gem tucked away later on if you can wait.

First decent call is Saturday the 11th. We're looking at a clean 4ft of south swell, twelve seconds between sets, with a light offshore breeze from the NNW. Swell energy is moderate at 458. The water's sitting at 85.6°, which is about normal for this time of year. It'll be glassy and clean – a real nice way to kick things off.

Sunday the 12th stays in the same ballpark: 4ft of south swell, clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy picks up a bit on Monday the 13th, with a touch more size at 4.6ft from the SSE, still with light cross-offshore winds. The swell energy jumps to strong at 765-811, and the wave comment is "very good." That Monday morning session is shaping up to be a beauty.

Tuesday the 14th is a bit of a write-off with a cross-shore breeze and some chop on the surface. You could surf, but it's not going to be great. The real standout of the first week is Wednesday morning, July 15th. We get a clean 4.3ft of SSW groundswell with a juicy 15-second period and a light offshore breeze. The energy is powerful at 937. This is proper, long-period swell hitting a reef break with light wind – that's the recipe for some serious, well-shaped waves. Just be aware, this long period stuff can sometimes run a bit straight at beach breaks, but here at a reef, it's going to be pure.

Thursday the 16th keeps the quality high with similar, clean conditions. But then we hit a real slump from Friday the 17th through to the end of that week. The wind swings onshore, the surf gets choppy, and quality just drops. The weekend of the 18th and 19th looks very poor for paddle surfing – that onshore wind and inconsistent lump isn't worth your time. It's a proper dry spell.

Now, if you've got the patience, the second week has a couple of interesting glimpses. The morning of Wednesday the 22nd of July is pure glass. Flat calm, 3.3ft from the southeast. Not huge, but perfectly clean. Then the afternoon gets exciting again. A clean 3ft swell from the SSW, but with an incredible 18-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is strong at 976. For the patient surfer, this is a real treat – a long-period, glassy wave.

There's also a late bloomer on Sunday the 26th. The afternoon shows a clean 5.6ft of SE swell, with glassy conditions. The energy is strong at 1097, and the call is "excellent" for experienced surfers. If that holds, it could be the best, most powerful wave of the whole run, but it's a long way out, so treat it as promising but not locked in just yet.

So, for the best bet, you're looking at Wednesday the 15th in the morning. Get out there for that clean, long-period SSW groundswell. After that, the glassy afternoon on Wednesday the 22nd is a close second for the sheer perfection of conditions.
