The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking in with the local outlook. Let’s get into it.
The first solid window shows up from Wednesday the 26th of August, but honestly, it’s a bit of a slow starter. The swell is there, but it’s lumpy and the wind is onshore, so it’s not going to be pretty. We’re looking at a week of marginal surf with onshore winds, but hold tight – there’s a real turnaround coming.
The standout action is definitely at Two Ways. This reef setup is fairly consistent and it’s got a proper groundswell running through it. The best of the whole outlook is on Thursday the 10th of September. The morning brings a 6ft SSW groundswell (16s period) with glassy conditions and a moderate wave energy (2357). That’s clean, lined-up reef surfing. The afternoon on the same day is even bigger, with a 7ft SSW swell (19s period) and glassy conditions – this is a very long period, powerful groundswell (3299 combined energy). That’s expert territory at 7ft, and the long period will make it wall up nicely on the reef. It’s for experienced surfers only, but it’s the pick of the whole 16 days.
Before that, the Friday the 4th of September is worth a mention. The swell drops to 7ft from the SSE (10s period), but the wind goes totally glassy. That’s a clean, fun morning with a moderate wave energy (882). The weekend of the 5th and 6th of September still has some waist-to-chest high swell, but it’s less consistent and the wind starts to shift onshore again.
The water temperature is sitting at 85°F with a 0.6°F anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year – warm, but nothing unusual.
The onshore wind days from the 26th of August to the 3rd of September are really only for the die-hards. The swell is there, but it’s choppy and messy. For the intermediate surfer, wait for the 4th or the 10th.
Rusty out.

Information about the Two Ways Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Two Ways provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. 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. If you surf the same spot (Two Ways) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
