The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking at Two Ways for the next couple of weeks.
The start of the week is a bust. Sunday and Monday are messy with cross-onshore breezes and poor, lumpy surf. Swell’s only 3 to 5 feet, but the wind is wrecking it, and the water is about normal for this time of year. Not worth suiting up.
Things turn around on Tuesday, August 11th. That morning is your best bet in the near term. We’ve got a clean 5 feet of SSE groundswell running on a nice long 11-second period, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. The combined energy is moderate (1163), and for a reef break like this, that’s going to mean proper, well-shaped waves. Sets will have some punch, and the lulls between them will make getting out the back a lot easier. Just keep in mind, the crowds can roll in here sometimes, so get in early. That Tuesday morning session is the one to circle.
Friday the 14th of August morning also looks solid with 5 feet of SSE swell and a light cross-offshore breeze making for clean waves. It’s a little smaller, but a good backup if you miss Tuesday.
Now, heading into the week of August 17th, the combined energy jumps way up, over 2800, with SSW swell hitting 6 to 7 feet. But don’t get your hopes up. The wind is cross-onshore and the surf quality is marginal. On a reef, that much juice with onshore wind is going to be a roiled-up, choppy mess. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not ideal. Honestly, the setup looks more fun for kite surfing than paddling.
After that, the second week fades into smaller, weaker swell with onshore winds and very low energy. Nothing worth chasing after the 19th.
The call: if you can, get out on Tuesday the 11th of August morning at Two Ways. That’s your cleanest, most promising window in the whole run. Everything else is a long wait or a pass.
Rusty.

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.
