The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cookin’ at Two Ways.
The next couple days are pretty flat and wonky—nothin’ to get your wetsuit wet over until Monday the 14th. Wednesday the 9th starts with a 3ft swell from the SSW with a long 17-second period, but the wind’s cross-onshore and the energy is weak (761). Not worth it. Thursday the 10th is similar—5ft swell, 15-second period, onshore wind, moderate energy (1569). The afternoon cleans up a little with lighter wind and a 4ft swell from the SW with a very long 21-second period, energy hits 2192, but cross-onshore wind keeps it average.
Friday the 11th gets bigger—5ft to 7ft from the SSW, periods 18–19 seconds, energy in the 3000s, but wind stays cross-onshore or cross. Not clean enough. Saturday the 12th is blown out with 12 mph west winds, 6–6ft SSW swell, but the afternoon goes clean with cross-offshore wind. Still marginal due to tide.
Here’s the first real standout: Monday morning, September 14th. Glassy, light air, and a 5ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period—clean as glass. Combined energy is moderate (1046), and it’s marked excellent for experienced surfers. That early glass-off is your best shot. Water temp is about average for this time of year. Watch for heavy rain and 22 mph west wind later in the day.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th drop into cross-onshore chop again. Early Wednesday has 5ft SSW swell with 16-second period and glassy wind—another hidden gem marked excellent for experienced surfers, energy at 1364. Get in early.
From Thursday the 17th through the weekend, swell stays 4ft to 5ft with short-to-mid periods, wind mostly onshore or cross-onshore, energy dipping below 1000. The 21st brings a 6ft SSE swell with a short 10-second period and energy at 1027, but cross wind and chop ruin it. Late on the 24th, a 3ft SSW swell with a very long 20-second period and energy at 1403, but cross-onshore wind spoils it.
Best surf in the 16-day window is Monday morning September 14th and Wednesday morning September 16th—both glassy with clean 5–5ft SSW groundswell. Strong period, light wind, those are your mornings. Crowds are possible at Two Ways, so get in early.
Rusty.

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.
Two Ways is 105 km (65 miles) from the city of Gan. If you plan a holiday in Huvadhoo Atoll, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gan. Gan has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
