Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers. Rusty here with the long-range look at Two Ways.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but things build into a solid run of waves, especially towards the end of the first week and into the second. The water's sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year.

Alright, let's get into it. This Tuesday the 25th, the surf is a no-go. We've got a 3ft SSW groundswell with a very long 15-second period, but the wind is howling onshore from the SSE at 9 mph, just ruining it. Combined swell energy is weak, only (533). The afternoon doesn't get any better.

Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are marginal. The swell picks up to 4ft from the SSW, with periods still in the 14-16 second range, giving us moderate energy (1088 to 1421). But that persistent onshore SSE wind, 6-9 mph, keeps the surface chopped up. You'd be wasting your time.

Friday the 28th is a write-off. Swell drops back to 3ft (502 energy), and the wind stays onshore. Poor conditions.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Saturday the 29th, the swell starts showing some real potential. We're looking at 4ft SSW groundswell jumping to 5ft in the afternoon, with a very long 19-second period. The combined energy jumps into the strong range at (1315 to 2076). The wind is still onshore, but it's a light breeze at 6 mph. The wave comment says marginal due to questionable tides, but the energy and period are there. Sunday the 30th is the real standout in this first week. The swell bumps up to 7ft from the SSW, with that same long 18-second period. Energy is very strong at (3257). Wind is a light onshore 6 mph. It's still got that "marginal" tag because of the tide, but for an intermediate surfer, this is looking like the best session of the week. By Monday the 31st, we've got clean skies and a light 3 mph onshore breeze with a solid 7ft SSW swell (2542 energy). It's still just a bit lumpy from the breeze, but the power is there.

The first few days of September are a mixed bag. The 1st and 2nd are back to marginal with onshore winds and moderate energy.

Then, Thursday, September 3rd. This is the pick of the entire outlook. The morning is absolutely pristine. The wind goes glassy, a "slight air" from the south at just 3 mph. The swell is a clean 7ft from the SSE with an 11-second period. Combined energy is moderate at (1095). The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers," and I agree. At 7ft, it's too big for beginners, but for anyone comfortable in solid waves, this is going to be absolutely firing. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore breeze, so hit it early.

The rest of the run fades. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are blown out with strong winds and poor conditions. There's a brief, clean window on Monday the 7th afternoon and Tuesday the 8th morning, with glassy conditions and a small 3ft to 3ft groundswell (607-825 energy) from the SSW and SW. It's small, but those are "very good surf conditions" with glassy water. For a longboard or a funboard, that's a sneaky good session.

The outlook finishes off with small, onshore chop on Wednesday the 9th.

So, to sum it up: The standout is Thursday morning, September 3rd, at Two Ways. Get on it for the glassy 7ft groundswell. The runner-up is Sunday, August 30th, for the sheer power of that 7ft, 18-second SSW groundswell, even with a little breeze on it.

Rusty.
