The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk waves. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is a bit of a slow burn. We've got a rough start, but there's a solid pulse of energy coming through mid-period that could make for some proper sessions.
Right now, the ocean is messy. The southerly breeze is chopping things up, and even though there's some size, it's not doing us any favors. The first few days are looking pretty average, with poor conditions and not much to get excited about. We just gotta wait for the wind to ease off.
Come Monday the 10th, things start to clean up a little. We've got a moderate swell kicking in, with the energy building to around 1011. It's still cross-on, but the wind is lighter, so it's less of a battle. The waves are around 5ft, but it's not quite there yet.
The middle of the week stays similar – surf in the 5ft to 6ft range, but the wind keeps messing with the surface. It's not bad, but it's not glassy. You'll find some waves, but you'll be fighting a bit of chop.
Then, we get a little window. Friday the 14th looks like the first real highlight. The wind swings around to the west, giving us a clean, cross-off breeze. The swell is still around 5ft from the southeast, and the energy is solid. This is the day to get out there. It's not huge, but it'll be clean and fun.
The weekend slips back into average conditions, with the wind getting a bit more on it. The swell eases to around 4ft, and it gets a bit crumbly.
But hold on, the real story is the following week. Monday the 17th, we start to see a new groundswell pushing in. The period jumps to 19 seconds, and the energy is big. It's still a bit messy that day, but Tuesday the 18th is the standout. The wind drops out completely, leaving it glassy, and we've got a 7ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period. The energy is pumping at 2709. This is the best session on offer. It's a proper swell, so it might be a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is where it's at. This is a point break, so that long period should really wrap in nicely.
Wednesday the 19th still has good waves, but the swell is easing and the wind is starting to come back onshore a bit. Still, it's a solid option.
After that, the swell fades out and the southerly winds return, bringing choppier conditions through the end of the week and into the weekend. It's looking like it'll be a bit of a flat spell after that.
So, to sum it up: the first week is about waiting for the wind to cooperate, with Friday the 14th being the pick of that bunch. But the real standout is Tuesday the 18th, when the glassy conditions and a strong, long-period groundswell line up for some epic waves at Two Ways. It's a while away, so don't book your life around it, but it's looking promising.

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.

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.
