Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about Two Ways. There’s some fun waves in this forecast, but you’ve gotta be sharp and pick your windows. The water is sitting pretty at around 86°F, which is a touch warmer than the usual for this time of year – about a degree and a half up. Not a big deal, but you’ll feel it on the paddle out.

On Monday the 14th, we get things going with a 4ft SSW groundswell in the morning. That’s got a long 15-second period on it, and the energy is moderate at 877. Wind is light offshore from the NW, so it’s clean. That’s a decent start. The afternoon bumps up to 4ft with a 16-second period, energy up to 952, but the wind goes a little cross-offshore. Still okay, but the morning is the pick.

Tuesday the 15th is pretty similar – 4ft at 14 seconds in the morning, cross-off from the west, energy at 1008. It’s slightly on the marginal side with the storm risk. The afternoon loses size and gets cross-onshore. Early doors is the call.

Wednesday the 16th has 4ft at 16 seconds in the morning, cross-off again from the west, energy at 1184. That’s the better mid-week session. The afternoon turns cross-shore and drops off.

Thursday the 17th is small – 3ft at 14 seconds, light cross-onshore. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Energy has dropped to 680.

Friday the 18th is where the size comes back. Morning sees 6ft with a 17-second period and energy jumping to 1984. That’s a real push. But, it’s cross-onshore from the south, so it’ll be lumpy. Still, that size with that period means there’s some grunt. The afternoon cleans up a bit with lighter wind and 5ft.

Saturday the 19th keeps that size. 5ft in the morning from the SSW at 15 seconds, energy at 1643. Wind is light cross-onshore again, so it’s rideable. The afternoon backs down to 5ft.

Sunday the 20th dips a little – 4ft in the morning, then a different 5ft from the SSE with a short 10-second period in the afternoon. That’s a less organized swell. The morning is weak, the afternoon has more push but less quality.

Then we hit a rough patch. Monday the 21st through Wednesday the 23rd has some smaller, short-period SSE swells. We’re talking 3ft to 5ft, but with periods of 8 to 9 seconds, there’s no power. Energy drops to the 300s and 400s. Winds are cross-onshore and it’s choppy. This is a good time to find something else to do.

Thursday the 24th is messy. Morning is small at 3ft with a long 16-second period, but onshore wind kills it. The afternoon has more size at 6ft, but from the SSE with a short 10-second period and still onshore. Not good. Friday the 25th is similar – 6ft at 9 seconds in the morning, but short-period and onshore. This looks like a write-off for surfing, might be a kite day.

But then, the light at the end of the tunnel. Saturday the 26th afternoon is glassy – flat calm – with a 4ft SSW swell at a massive 20-second period. That’s proper groundswell. Energy is at 1581. That’s the sweet spot. The morning is also glassy at 3ft, but the afternoon just has that extra juice.

Sunday the 27th is another classic morning. Completely glassy with a 4ft, 17-second SSW swell. Energy at 1215. The afternoon stays glassy with 4ft at 16 seconds. Two days of clean, lined-up swell. This is the best on offer.

Monday the 28th is still clean with light cross-offshore winds from the NE. Swell backs down to 3ft at 15 seconds, but still clean. Tuesday the 29th is back to full glass in the morning, 3ft at 13 seconds, and then the afternoon pushes up to 4ft with a 14-second period and it’s glassy again. A great, clean finish to the run.

So, the last weekend is your winner. Clean, glassy, and proper long-period SSW swell. The earlier days have size but the wind is a problem. And definitely avoid that last week’s short-period stuff unless you want a fight.

Rusty out.
