Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here, looking over the waves ahead at Two Ways. This spot’s a reef break for intermediate surfers, and it’s fairly consistent, so you won’t be twiddling your thumbs for too long. We’ve got a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few sessions that’ll get you frothing.

Right off the bat, Monday morning (17th August) kicks off with a decent 5ft swell from the SSW, but it’s a cross-on wind and the combo energy is strong, sitting at 2464. The water’s sitting at 85°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. It’s a bit marginal though, with the conditions feeling messy—probably one to sit out unless you’re desperate.

The best early window shapes up on Wednesday morning, 19th August. The swell pulls back to 6ft from the S, but the magic’s in the wind—dead calm, glassy as a mirror. That’s a setup that’ll have the reef lining up cleanly. The period’s a long 16 seconds (groundswell), so these are proper lines with good energy between them. Combined energy’s still strong at 2140. This is the standout of the first week—get in the water.

After that, Thursday and Friday get smaller and wind-affected, with onshore breezes dropping the quality. The swell dips to 4ft and then 3ft, and the period shortens, so it’s a bit of a lull. Keep your board waxed for a better run later.

Now, skip ahead to Wednesday morning, 26th August. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and we’ve got a clean cross-off breeze from the W. Combined energy’s at 1038—strong enough, and the offshore angle will groom those waves nicely. Another top pick for experienced surfers.

Then the last weekend of August and into September looks promising. Sunday the 30th through Monday the 31st sees a solid 5ft to 6ft swell from the SSW, with glassy conditions on offer. On Sunday morning, the period’s 16 seconds and the energy’s 1174—powerful but clean. By Monday morning, it’s 6ft and still glassy, with energy at 1465. That’s the best building swell of the whole outlook, and with light winds, it’ll be firing. The only catch is those long-period swells can break a bit straight at a reef like Two Ways, but with the wind being glass, it should still offer some proper walls. Crowds can show up here sometimes, so get in early.

From Tuesday 1st September, it starts to taper off, with cross-onshore winds and smaller 5ft to 5ft swells.

Overall, the standout sessions are Wednesday 19th August morning and Sunday-Monday 30th-31st August. Don’t waste the glassy days.

Rusty.
