The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s happening at Two Ways over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a solid pulse of Southern Ocean swell rolling in, but the wind just won’t play nice. The swell hangs around 4ft to 7ft with a short period, mostly from the SSE, but it’s plagued by a persistent onshore or cross-onshore breeze. The water’s warm at 85° which is pretty normal for this time of year, but the conditions are just messy. From Wednesday afternoon (2nd September) all the way through to Monday morning (7th September), the wave energy is moderate (between 266 and 1347), but it’s all blown out. You’re looking at small wind ripples and choppy faces. Not worth paddling out for.
Now, Tuesday the 8th of September is where things finally get interesting. We’ve got a glassy morning with zero wind and a 4ft, 9-second swell from the SE. The energy is still moderate (609), but that clean, glassy surface is a massive win. This is the first real window to get a decent wave. The swell is small enough for everyone, but the quality will be there.
Then Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon is the standout for the whole forecast. The swell jumps to 4ft from the SSW with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the wind goes clean offshore from the west. The wave energy is strong (1141). This is a proper groundswell with excellent shape. For a reef break like Two Ways, that long period is going to produce some beautiful, lined-up waves. This is definitely the pick of the fortnight for experienced surfers, though it might be a bit too lined up for a beach break vibe. The only downside is that crowds are possible here, so get out early.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th still have good size (5ft to 5ft) and very long periods (15-19 seconds), but the wind turns back onshore, so the quality drops. The energy is very strong (up to 2639), but it’ll be bumpy.
After that, the swell slowly fades and the wind stays messy through the second week. By the 16th and 17th, the surf is poor to non-existent, with weak energy and short-period windswell.
So, bottom line: hold out for the glassy morning on Tuesday the 8th, and absolutely make the Wednesday afternoon session on the 9th your priority. That’s the one.
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.
