The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Two Ways over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. The early part of the forecast is pretty average, with a lot of cross-onshore wind and small, short-period swell. The first real highlight doesn’t appear until Wednesday afternoon, August 12th. The wind goes glassy, and we’re looking at a clean 6ft SSE swell with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 769. It’s not huge, but with that kind of clean surface, it’ll be a fun session for an intermediate surfer. Crowds are possible here, so get out there early.
The real standout, though, is the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. This is where it gets exciting. We’ve got glassy conditions, light winds from the south, and a 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long period of 16 seconds. The energy is strong at 1546. This is proper, clean, long-period juice – perfect for a reef setup like Two Ways. The swell direction is right in the optimum range, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the session to circle on your calendar. Just be aware, with a period that long, the sets will be spaced out, but the waves will have real shape and power.
After that, things taper off a bit. The following week sees a drop in quality with more cross-shore winds and smaller, less consistent swell. The window from around August 20th to the 26th is mostly marginal, with a few moments of moderate energy but nothing that compares to that glassy Wednesday. The wind stays mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the combined energy fluctuates between moderate and strong, but the conditions just aren’t lining up for a top-tier session.
So, to sum it up: the next few days are quiet, but the morning of August 19th is your golden ticket. Clean, powerful, and lined up. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.

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.
