Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, it's Rusty.

Let's look at what's coming up for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with some solid pushes of energy, but the wind doesn't always play ball. The real standout, the one you want to save the date for, is a window of clean, small surf on the 30th of July.

We're straight into it on Friday the 24th. Two Ways has a clean 3ft SSW swell, with a long period of 13 seconds. The wind is light offshore from the NNW, so it's going to be glassy. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (473). It's a nice start, but the swell is small.

The weekend is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. Saturday the 25th has a bigger 5ft to 5ft swell from the SE, but it's a short period of 10 seconds and cross-shore wind, making it messy. Sunday the 26th is similar, with a 5ft to 5ft SE swell, but the period stretches to 11 seconds. The highlight of that day is Sunday afternoon when the wind goes glassy, giving us a clean, 5ft wave. It's okay, but not the best of the run.

The start of next week, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, are a bit of a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions. The swell energy is moderate (729 and 722) but the wind is just no good.

Now for the pick of the bunch. Wednesday the 29th of July into Thursday the 30th of July. The swell direction swings back to SSW, and the period goes very long – 18 seconds on the Wednesday and 16 seconds on the Thursday. The swell height is small, around 3ft. The combined energy is strong (1278 on Wednesday, 967 on Thursday morning). The key is the wind. Thursday morning the 30th has light offshore winds from the NW, leaving it clean and glassy. This is the one to circle. It's a small, long-period groundswell which at a reef break like Two Ways will wrap in nicely with some proper shape. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have a few mates out, but it'll be worth it.

After that, things get a bit more ordinary. The wind turns onshore again for a few days, and the swell mix gets messy. There's a solid pulse of energy on the 2nd of August, with a 5ft 17-second SSW swell, but it's getting blown out by onshore winds. The following week shows a lot of 5ft to 6ft SE swell with cross to onshore winds, meaning it's going to be a bit of a struggle for clean conditions. The 5th of August has a 3ft 19-second SSW swell, which is a very long period, but the wind is cross-shore, so it's a gamble.

So, to wrap it up: Thursday morning the 30th of July is your best bet. Small, clean, and with a long period SSW groundswell at Two Ways. The rest of the forecast is a waiting game.

Rusty.
