The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles per hour.
Right now, there’s nothing doing for the first few days. You’re looking at about a four-day dry spell before anything worth paddling for shows up. That first real chance is on Monday the 16th of September.
The spot we’re hanging on is Two Ways. It’s a reef setup, open to the swell, and it really sings with a SE direction. The standout session falls on Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the SSW with a 15-second interval – that’s proper groundswell, bringing solid energy (727). The wind? Dead flat. Glassy as a mirror. That’s the kind of afternoon you live for, even if the waves aren’t overhead. Water temp is about 86°, pretty normal for the season.
Into the following week, there’s some bigger stuff, hitting around 5ft on the 18th and 19th, but the period drops to 9 or 10 seconds, and the wind turns ugly – onshore from the S or SSE, making everything messy. The energy numbers jump to (1562) and (1599), so there’s power, but it’s not going to be clean. An expert might find something on the morning of the 19th with a 5ft SSW swell and a light breeze, but it’s still onshore.
Later, on the 27th of September, we get another glassy window in the afternoon: 4ft from the SSE, but only a 10-second period (624 energy). Not as good as the earlier groundswell, but if you want clean, small waves, that late Sunday session is your backup.
The clear winner is that Wednesday the 16th afternoon – glassy, 4ft, long-period SSW groundswell. That’s the one to chase. Everything else is either blown out or just average. For the full 16-day look, there’s no classic swell train coming, so take what you can get.
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.
Two Ways is 105 km (65 miles) from the city of Gan. If you plan a holiday in Huvadhoo Atoll, look for hotels and other accommodation in Gan. Gan has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
