Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, watching the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow cooker at Two Ways, with the first few days looking pretty flat and messy. Don’t get too excited until we get through the middle of the week.

We’ve got a bit of a wait for the first decent session. Sunday the 19th is a write-off – tiny 2ft south swell, onshore breeze, and the energy is weak (557). That’s a no-go. Monday the 20th isn’t much better, with a 3ft south swell, still onshore. The water temp is a lovely 85°, which is bang on average for this time of year.

Things start to shift Wednesday the 22nd afternoon. The swell picks up to 6ft from the SSE, period’s a short 8 seconds, but the wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the NE. The energy jumps to moderate (592), and the forecast says “clean.” This is the first real glimmer. Thursday the 23rd morning looks tidy too – 3ft SSW groundswell (15 seconds), cross-offshore breeze, and solid energy (742). It’s clean, but the swell is small.

The real standout of the first week is Friday the 24th afternoon. We’ve got glassy conditions, light NNW wind, and a 3ft SSW groundswell with a 13-second period. The energy is moderate (444) but the clean surface will make it feel like a million bucks. That’s the pick of the early days for a fun, uncrowded session.

Saturday the 25th morning holds promise with 5ft SE swell, 10-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is solid (690). It’s a good size for the intermediate crew.

Now, looking further ahead, the last day of July and first day of August are the true standouts. Thursday the 31st morning is the absolute gem. We’ve got a 4ft SSW groundswell, a very long 15-second period, glassy conditions, and a massive energy reading of 1748. That’s strong, clean, and powerful. This is a reef break, so that long-period groundswell will wrap in beautifully. The water is warm, and with light winds, it’s going to be a world-class session for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

The following morning, Saturday the 1st of August, is also excellent. A 4ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, cross-offshore breeze, and hefty energy (1158). The wind is light, keeping it clean. It’s a marginal call on the tide, but the quality is there.

After that, the swell hangs around but the wind turns more cross-onshore, making it a bit choppy. Sunday the 2nd afternoon has a 5ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period, but a moderate cross-onshore breeze. The energy is strong (1510), but it’ll be bumpy. It’s a kite-surfing kind of day if you’re into that.

So, bottom line: the first few days are a write-off. Wednesday the 22nd afternoon is the first sign of life, but Friday the 24th afternoon is the cleanest small-wave session. The real barrel is Thursday the 31st morning – that’s the one to circle on the calendar. Get on it.

Rusty.
