Two Ways Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Two Ways, a reef setup that’s fairly consistent with an exposed SE swell window. Water temp’s sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The pattern gets off to a slow start. Thursday morning the 13th kicks off with a 5ft SSE swell at 10 seconds, combined energy of 727 (moderate), and a light W breeze making it cross-off. That’s decent clean surf, but it’s the only real standout in the first week. After that, the wind shifts cross-on and the quality drops fast. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th are basically a write-off: messy cross-onshore chop, weak energy dropping to 387 by Saturday morning, and surf size falling to 3ft. That run of poor conditions stretches through Sunday the 16th and into the start of the next week.

Then Monday the 17th morning brings a change: a 5ft SSW swell, but the period jumps to 20 seconds – that’s very long-period groundswell. Combined energy shoots up to 2364 (strong), but that long period means it’ll be breaking straight and fast at a beach break. For a reef like Two Ways, though, it could shape up nicely. The wind is light and cross, so it’s not messy. Tuesday the 18th holds similar: 7ft SSW at 18 seconds, energy at 2717 (strong), still light cross. That’s solid, but it’s a bit big for beginners – over 5ft, so know your limits.

Now, the real standout comes on Wednesday the 19th morning. Glassy conditions with a 5ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, energy still high at 2041 (strong). That’s excellent surf for experienced surfers – clean, lined-up waves and a light offshore vibe. Best of the whole forecast. The afternoon stays clean but gets a little cross-shore. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

After that, the quality fades. Thursday the 20th onwards sees energy dropping, winds turning cross-on again, and by Friday the 21st the conditions are poor. There’s a gap from late on the 21st through to the 23rd where it’s mostly onshore junk. Another pulse shows up on Monday the 24th morning: 4ft SSW at 18 seconds, energy 1299 (moderate), but the wind is onshore, keeping it marginal. That trend of onshore, moderate energy continues through to the end of the month. By Friday the 28th morning, it’s back to 3ft and cross-on chop – poor.

So, the best on offer is Wednesday the 19th morning: glassy, 5ft SSW groundswell, all to yourself if you’re early. Tuesday the 18th is a solid backup. The rest is mostly average to poor.

Rusty out.
