The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag coming up for Two Ways. The start is pretty lacklustre, but there’s some serious size building for the end of the month and into September, though conditions might not always line up perfectly.
The first few days are a write-off. Friday the 21st and Saturday the 22nd are offering nothing worth paddling out for, with tiny, weak swells and messy winds. Sunday the 23rd is still marginal, with a short-period 4ft SSE swell that won't stack up well here. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are even worse; just flat and choppy. So we've got about a week of nothing good.
The first real standout hits on the morning of Wednesday the 26th. The wind goes glassy, and we get a solid 4ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period rippling in. The combined energy is moderate but punchy at 1118. This is a reef break, so that longer period will wrap in nicely, offering clean, well-shaped waves for the experienced crowd. This is the pick of the early window.
After that, conditions get a bit messy again through the end of the week, with cross-onshore winds messing up the 5ft SSW swell. But then, from Sunday the 30th of August right through to Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell really cranks up. We’re looking at waves from 6ft to 8ft out of the SSW, with very long periods of 16-18 seconds. The combined energy is strong to very strong here, hitting between 2591 and 4342. This isn’t for beginners; over 8ft is expert territory. For the experienced crew, the mornings of Monday the 31st of August and Tuesday the 1st of September offer the best potential, with light onshore winds and that big, long-period groundswell working on the reef. Expect some serious sets and wide sets. It gets a bit lumpy on the 1st afternoon as the wind shifts cross-on. After that peak, the swell drops back down into the 5-6ft range with shorter periods.
Overall, if you’re an intermediate or above, pencil in the morning of the 26th of August for the cleanest waves, and then the late August/early September big-swell window for a real challenge. The water is sitting around 85°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Rusty.

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.
