Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way.

Alright, so we've got a bit of a slow start, but don't write it off just yet. The first solid window of surf kicks off on Tuesday morning, July 7th, with a clean, workable swell rolling into Two Ways. The water's sitting at a warm 85°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Tuesday morning we're looking at a 3ft SSW groundswell, with a nice long 14-second period. The wind is a light cross-off at 6 mph, so the surface is going to be clean. The combined energy is moderate (492). It's not huge, but it'll be fun. The afternoon stays similar, just a touch smaller. Wednesday, July 8th, is where it gets interesting. The morning is glassy with a 3ft S swell, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. That's proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy jumps to 583. This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. The afternoon is even better, with the energy climbing to 790. This is the standout of the first week. The wind is glassy from the WNW, so it'll be smooth as silk. Thursday, July 9th, keeps the good times rolling with more glassy conditions and a 4ft SSW swell by the afternoon, combined energy hitting 737. It's a great run.

Now, Friday and Saturday, July 10th and 11th, are a bit of a mixed bag. Friday sees some cross-onshore winds, so it gets a bit messy, but Saturday morning bounces back with glassy conditions and a 4ft S swell. A solid choice for a weekend session.

The big shift comes on Sunday, July 12th. The swell is building. Morning brings a 4ft S swell, with cross-off winds and a combined energy of 530. By the afternoon, it's pushing 5ft from the south, with a 10-second period and energy at 583. This is a solid, powerful swell. It's still manageable for intermediates, but it's getting chunky.

Monday, July 13th, and Tuesday, July 14th, the swell holds at 5ft to 6ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, bringing in a bit of chop. The energy is high, hitting 959 on Monday morning, but the quality is dropping. This is more for the experienced crew who don't mind a little texture.

From Wednesday, July 15th, onwards, things get tricky. The swell is still there, but the wind turns onshore, and the quality goes downhill. The period drops, and by the end of the week, we're looking at poor, onshore conditions. The window from July 17th to the 22nd is a write-off for clean surf. There's a long gap of poor surf here, with consistent onshore winds and messy conditions.

The best surf on offer is definitely the Wednesday to Thursday window, July 8th and 9th. That combination of glassy winds, long-period groundswell, and a clean, reef break setup is as good as it gets in this stretch. The crowds are "sometimes" at Two Ways, so you might have a few others out, but it's worth it.

Rusty.
