Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Two Ways – a reef break that’s got some exposure to the swell. The water’s 86°F, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so you won’t be needin’ the thick rubber.

The first real session to chase is on Thursday the 10th. There’s a mix of swells pumping in with a combined energy of 1569 (moderate to strong). Morning brings a 5ft SSW swell, period a very long 15 seconds – proper groundswell for the reef. Wind is a light cross-on from the south at 3 mph, but the afternoon is where it’s at: glassy with a 4ft SSW swell, a massive 21-second period, and the wind goes glass from the southwest at 3 mph. That afternoon is the standout – clean, long-period waves for experienced surfers. It’ll be a ripper.

Friday the 11th has more energy hitting 3238 (strong) with 5ft SSW swell in the morning, building to 7ft by afternoon, period 18 to 19 seconds. But there’s a cross-off NW wind at 12 to 15 mph and a risk of thunderstorms. It’s clean but windy, and the bigger afternoon swell is only for the experienced crew.

Saturday the 12th: 6ft to 6ft SSW, cross-off west wind at 15 mph, moderate rain. Energy’s still decent (1846) but a bit rough around the edges.

Sunday the 13th drops to 4ft to 4ft SSW, cross-off winds around 9 to 12 mph, energy down to 1013 to 1238 – weak to moderate. Clean enough, but nothin’ special.

From Monday the 14th, it’s a long stretch of so-so conditions. Winds get cross-on or onshore, choppy seas, and the swell sticks around 2ft to 7ft, but periods drop to 9 to 10 seconds from the 20th. Energy falls below 1000 (weak) for many days. The 16th of September morning offers a brief bright spot: 4ft SSW at 16 seconds with clean cross-off wind, but it’s an isolated window.

The big standout is that Thursday afternoon on the 10th – glassy, long-period groundswell, and the reef will line it up beautifully. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
