The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about it plain and simple. Two Ways is looking like a bit of a fiddle for the next couple weeks. There’s some solid size coming, but the wind is going to make you work for it. And we’ve got a bit of a wait before the good stuff arrives.
The first few days, starting Friday the 28th, are pretty grim. Small 2ft swell with a southerly breeze right on it, and the energy is weak. Not worth paddling out. Saturday the 29th gets bigger—4ft, pushing 5ft in the afternoon—and the energy is building fast. But those thunderstorms and cross-onshore winds will have it chopped to bits.
Sunday the 30th is the big one. We’re talking 7ft in the morning, up to 8ft by the afternoon, and the energy is strong. Period is a solid 18 seconds, so there’s real power in the water. But the wind is still bad news, and that t-storm risk is there. This is far too big for the beginners, and it’s going to be a grunt for everyone else.
Monday the 31st stays big and messy, 7ft and 7ft. Cross-onshore winds are killing it. The energy is still strong, but the shape is gone. It’s just a lot of water moving around.
The first days of September stay in the 5ft range, but the wind is still a problem. It’s not until Friday the 4th that things finally turn. The swell is a clean 6ft, but the real story is the wind. It’s glassy—dead calm in the afternoon. The energy has backed off to a moderate level, but with zero wind, the waves will be clean and lined up. This is your window. Saturday the 5th stays clean with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the swell holds at 5ft. Sunday the 6th starts glassy but fades. This stretch from the 4th to the 6th is hands-down the best on offer. It’s not the biggest, but it’s quality.
Water temp on Friday is 86°F, which is about 1°F above the long-term average. Not a big deal.
After that, the swell drops off hard on the 7th, then comes back with a long-period groundswell in the afternoon, but it’s only 3ft. The week of the 8th to the 10th is mostly small and cross-on, so don’t get excited.
The 11th and 12th show another pulse of size, with Friday the 11th seeing 7ft of SSW swell, but the wind is cross-shore and lumpy. The energy is strong, but it’s a mess again.
So, the call is simple: mark Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th on your calendar. That’s your clean, glassy, fun surf. Everything else is either too big and blown out, or small and wonky. There are some dead stretches, sure, but that’s just how this place can be. It won’t stay bad forever.
Rusty, signing off.

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. If you surf the same spot (Two Ways) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
