The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The surf’s a bit of a mixed bag over this stretch, but there are a few windows where Two Ways will absolutely light up. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it’s got that extra bit of warmth.
The first few days are pretty ordinary. Tuesday morning kicks off with a clean 4ft SSW swell, but the afternoon drops off a touch. It’s rideable but nothing to write home about. Wednesday and Thursday are pretty average too – a bit of cross-shore chop and the swell’s just not doing much. The period is short-ish, around 14-16 seconds, so there’s some energy but it’s not really lined up well.
Friday sees a slight bump – the swell pushes up to 5ft in the morning and then 7ft by the afternoon. That’s the biggest of the first week, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. Not ideal, but it’s the best you’re going to get for a few days.
The weekend is pretty poor to be honest. Saturday holds some size but it’s choppy. Sunday drops off and the period shortens right out – 9-10 seconds – which means it’s going to be mushy and weak. By Monday the 21st, it’s properly flat and poor. That’s a rough stretch.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The 22nd and 23rd are still pretty average, but look at the 24th. Thursday afternoon the wind goes glassy – that’s the keyword. The swell is small, only 4ft, but it’s clean and the energy is moderate. You’ll get a few fun ones, but it’s not a standout.
The real standout, though, is the 27th. Sunday the 27th, the wind swings northwest offshore. That’s exactly what you want at Two Ways. The swell is 3ft with a 16-second period from the SSW – that’s proper groundswell, long and hollow. The morning is clean, and the afternoon is cross-off. This is the pick of the entire forecast. The energy is moderate at 777 in the morning and 703 in the afternoon, but the quality is there. It’s a classic Two Ways day – small but perfect.
The 28th is still not bad, with a cross-off and clean conditions in the afternoon, but the swell is dropping. Then the 29th and 30th – hold on. Tuesday the 29th and Wednesday the 30th are glassy. Absolutely glass. The swell is around 4-4ft from the SSW with a 14-16 second period. Moderate energy but clean as anything. These are the days where you’ll get the long walls and the reef doing its thing. If you can, get out there for the morning sessions on the 29th or 30th.
So, the best on offer in this 16-day stretch is clearly the 27th, with its offshore wind and long-period groundswell, and then the glassy mornings of the 29th and 30th. The first week is pretty average, with Friday being the biggest but messiest. Keep your eye on that Sunday – that’s the one.
Crowds might be an issue on the 27th since it’s a Sunday and the conditions are so clean – sometimes, you’ll find a few heads out. But that’s what you expect at a spot like this when it’s firing.
Anyway, get out there when you can. It’s not a classic stretch, but there’s enough to keep you wet.

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.

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.
