Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Two Ways.

First up, I gotta be straight with you—it’s a slow start. We’re looking at a pretty bleak run from now through to the end of August. The wind is stuck in a cross-onshore groove, mostly from the south, and the swell is on the small side with some pretty weak energy. It’s just not gonna get the heart pumping. You might see a few waist-high lumps on Friday the 21st, but with that wind, it’ll be a bumpy, frustrating paddle. Honestly, for the first week, you’re better off doing something else.

Now, things start to look up around Wednesday the 26th. We get a proper SSW swell arriving, and the wind swings offshore from the SSE. It’s still only marginal, but that energy is picking up, and the period is a nice, long 14 seconds. That’s real groundswell energy, and for a reef setup like Two Ways, that spells potential. By Thursday the 27th morning, with clear skies and an offshore breeze, we’ve got about 5 ft of SSW swell at 15 seconds. It’s not epic, but it’s the first clean look we’ve had.

But the true standouts? That’s the very end of the run. Mark your calendars for Sunday the 30th of August. The morning is calling it *glassy* – that’s a dead calm, zero wind situation with some clouds holding the light. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft of SSW groundswell with an 18-second period. The energy is massive. Now, this is a big one – over 8 ft is for the experienced crew only. This isn’t a beginner’s day. A long-period swell like this on a reef break can produce some serious, lined-up walls, but it’ll be handling some heavy water.

Then, Monday the 31st is almost a repeat performance. Another glassy morning, with about 8 ft of SSW swell at 17 seconds and very high energy. That’s another day for the experts. By the afternoon, a light cross-shore comes in, so the morning session Monday is your absolute best bet of the whole outlook. The wind is truly cooperating for those two mornings.

So, the long story short: the first week is a write-off. The second week builds, but the real gold is on the 30th and 31st. For the crew with the skills, those mornings will be worth the wait. For everyone else, keep an eye on the smaller windows around the 26th and 27th for something a bit more manageable.

Stay psyched.
