The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way.
Alright, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag ahead. The first few days will be a bit of a struggle, but there’s a decent window of clean surf later this week that’s worth gettin’ excited about. After that, it gets a bit messy again with a lot of onshore wind, so you’ll want to pick your moments.
Wednesday, July 22 is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. The swell is there at 5ft from the SE, but the wind is straight onshore from the south at 9 mph, and the wave energy is only moderate (402). The surf is poor. Not worth paddlin’ out.
Thursday, July 23 starts to look a little better. The wind swings around to a light NNE breeze, coming cross-offshore at 6 mph, which will clean things up nicely. The swell holds at 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy picks up to 794 (moderate). The surf is clean. It’s not pumping, but it’s a good session for the intermediate crew.
Friday, July 24 the swell drops back to 3ft, but the direction shifts to a long-period SSW groundswell at 13 seconds. This is a really nice line for a reef like Two-Ways. With light NE cross-offshore winds at 6 mph, it’ll be clean and lined up. The energy is moderate (476). This is a solid option for a longer board.
Saturday, July 25 – this is your standout. The morning starts glassy, zero wind, the swell is a solid 5ft from the SE at 10 seconds, and the energy is strong (727). The conditions are glassy, and the surf is expected to be very good. This is the pick of the week. It’s an intermediate-friendly wave, but at 5ft it’s a bit much for total beginners. The water temp is about average for the time of year. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.
Sunday, July 26 the wind goes back onshore from the SE at 9 mph, and the swell bumps up to 5ft (11-second period, 861 energy). The surf quickly becomes marginal, so that window closes fast.
From Monday, July 27 through the end of the month, it’s a real slog. The wind stays onshore or cross-onshore, with speeds picking up to 15-19 mph at times. The swell energy gets very strong, hitting four-digit values (970, 1105, 1457, 1326, 1342), but it’s all blown out and messy. There’s a bit of a long-period SSW groundswell on July 29 (18 seconds, 1457 energy), but with a moderate breeze and fresh cross-onshore wind, it’s junk. This stretch is more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers.
August 1 and 2 are much the same – onshore wind, messy surf, energy dropping a bit but still onshore. The waves are there but not worth the paddle.
Then we get a bit of a shift on August 3 – a very long-period SSW groundswell (19 seconds, 2070 energy, which is very strong). But again, the wind is onshore from the south at 12 mph, creating a moderate cross-onshore chop. The potential is there for a bomb set, but it’ll be a battle. This is an expert-only proposition, and even then, it’s not great.
The first week of August stays tough with onshore and cross-onshore winds, though the swell direction remains consistent from the SSW with long periods (15-18 seconds). The energy is strong (1670, 1489), but the wind keeps it from being truly clean. There’s a moment on August 5 afternoon and August 6 morning where the wind goes light cross-shore, and the surf is marginal. That’s about as good as it gets in the second week, but it’s a long shot.
So, bottom line: Saturday morning, July 25 is the one to circle. Everything else is a bit of a gamble or a battle with the wind.

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.
