The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Right, so the picture for Two Ways is pretty clear: we’ve got to be patient. The first several days are a struggle. From the 6th to the 8th, the surf is small and gutless, around 1 to 4 feet, with onshore winds ruining any chance of a clean face. It’s a real mix of poor and marginal, with weak to moderate energy. You’d be paddling out for nothing, honestly.
The first real chance comes on Wednesday afternoon, the 9th. The wind goes light and glassy, the swell bumps to a touch over 4 feet, and the period stretches out to 17 seconds. The energy jumps to a moderate level of 1381. This is a clean, proper session for the intermediate surfer. It’s the first true standout, so if you’ve got a free afternoon, that’s the call.
After that, it gets messy again. Thursday and Friday have the size, but the cross-shore wind messes with it. The energy is strong, hitting over 3000 on Friday morning, but the quality isn’t there. Friday afternoon sees it push to over 6 feet, but the onshore wind takes over.
The whole next week, from the 12th to the 18th, is a write-off. Mostly onshore winds, dropping swell, and mediocre energy. It’s just one of those runs.
But then the charts get interesting again. On the 19th, a big pulse arrives, pushing 8 feet, but it’s got a straight onshore wind, making it a huge, choppy mess. That’s a day for the experts only, and even then, it’s not appealing.
The real deal is Sunday the 20th. The wind dies completely, leaving it flat calm and glassy. The swell is still a solid 7 feet from the south-southeast, with a strong 1087 energy reading. This is the standout. The Sunday afternoon session holds with a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping the 7 feet of swell clean and powerful. This is the one. It’s big, clean, and has the long-period push that makes a reef like this sing. Again, not for the faint of heart. This is expert territory. And, as it’s fairly consistent, you can expect some company in the water.
The following Monday drops back to around 5 feet, but the wind goes cross-shore, so it won’t be as pristine.
So, there you have it. Grind through the start, catch that one glassy window on the 9th, and set your sights on the big, clean Sunday on the 20th. That’s the pick of the bunch.
Rusty.
