The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s happening at Two Ways.
Right now, it’s a bit of a rough stretch. Monday and Tuesday are total duds – you’ve got a moderate cross-onshore wind making things choppy, and the surf is poor. By Wednesday and Thursday, we see some swell building to around 4ft to 5ft from the SSW, but the wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined wave energy is moderate. The notes mention questionable tide conditions. Nothing worth getting wet for. That flat spell runs from Monday 24 August through Friday 28 August – about five days of nothing hot.
Come Saturday 29 August, there’s a hint of life. A long-period SSW swell (19 seconds!) at 4ft to 5ft shows up, with strong energy, but the wind is onshore. Low score. Hold out one more day.
Now for the real deal. Sunday 30 August is the standout. Swell hits 7ft from the SSW with a very long period of 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. Combined energy is very strong (3284) and the wind goes glassy. This is classic reef-break conditions. The water temp is 85°F, which is 1°F above the long-term average for this time of year, so it’s an unusually warm day. But this surf is over 8ft, so it’s expert-only. If you’ve got the nerve, it’s a day to remember.
Monday 31 August still has solid 7ft to 7ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period, but light cross-shore winds put a few ripples on the face. Still good for the keen. After that, the surf fades quickly. From Tuesday 1 September onward, the swell drops under 7ft, the period shortens, and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore. The energy goes moderate, and the notes are all marginal or poor. The second week stays quiet.
Two Ways is a reef break, so that long-period groundswell on Sunday will wrap in cleanly – much better than a beach break that would go straight. The break is fairly consistent and sometimes gets crowds, so expect a few others out there. The swell direction (SSW) matches the optimum southeast direction nicely.
If you’re an expert, mark Sunday 30 August. That’s the one. The rest of the outlook? Not much to write home about.
Rusty.

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.
