The Lowdown
Alright, let’s see what Two Ways is cooking for the next couple weeks.
The first few days have no good surf to speak of. From Friday the 7th of August right through to Monday the 10th, it’s rough. A persistent SSE swell around 4 to 6 feet is being hammered by a cross-onshore breeze. The combined swell energy runs between 891 and 1309 (moderate to moderate/strong energy). Not our kind of fun. Water temp is a warm 85°F, and that’s just about normal for this time with a 0.6°F anomaly.
But then Tuesday morning the 11th of August, the wind goes glassy. Dead calm, a light 5 km/h (3 mph) SW breeze, and that SSE swell holds at about 5 feet, with an 11-second period. The energy reading is 1163 (moderate/strong). That’s a clean, quality window for the intermediate surfer. This morning slot stands out as the best of the first week, no question.
The week after has mostly cross-shore junk, nothing worth paddling out for until we hit Wednesday afternoon the 19th and Thursday morning the 20th of August. Then the game changes. The swell direction swings to SSW, the size bumps up to 6 to 7 feet, and the period stretches out to 16 seconds – long-period groundswell, proper energy. Combined energy is massive – between 1989 and 2239 (strong/very strong). The wind is light offshore or cross-offshore, giving clean faces. This is expert-only size and power, and for anyone who knows Two Ways, this is the standout of the whole outlook.
After that, the surf fades through Saturday the 22nd, with smaller swell and the onshore wind returning. Some clean small waves on Friday the 21st morning with a 3 foot S swell, but nothing worth writing home about.
So, the short version: jump on Tuesday morning the 11th for clean, user-friendly waves, or wait for Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning the 19th and 20th for the big, long-period SSW groundswell for experienced surfers. The rest is either blown out or too small.

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. If you surf the same spot (Two Ways) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
