Two Mile/Easter Reef - surf spot statistics

Two Mile/Easter Reef in Australia benefits from consistent year-round ground swell, with minimal wind swell interference and virtually no days without swell. The best months for surfers typically align with the largest swell sizes and the most favorable wind conditions. From May to September, the mean swell size peaks between 2.7m and 3.0m, offering powerful and clean waves, particularly in July, August, and September when the swell reaches its maximum height. Wind conditions improve slightly during autumn and winter, with May showing the highest percentage of good winds (36%) and the lowest bad winds (64%). However, even in the optimal months, onshore winds remain a challenge, as bad wind conditions still dominate over 60% of the time. The summer months (December to February) see smaller swells (around 2.3m–2.4m) and the worst wind conditions, with over 80% of days plagued by unfavorable winds. March, April, and October offer a transitional balance, with decent swell sizes (2.5m–2.8m) but still suboptimal wind patterns. Overall, the prime window for surfing at Two Mile/Easter Reef is from May to September, with the biggest and cleanest waves most likely in late winter (July–September), despite the persistent wind challenges.

February at Two Mile/Easter Reef delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 2.3m and a solid 12.6s period, indicating powerful, well-spaced waves. The swell is predominantly SW (47-53% of waves in the 1.5m+ range), producing quality groundswells with occasional larger sets, especially in the 2-2.5m range (20.8% from SW). SSW and S swells contribute smaller but surfable waves, though they’re less dominant. Wind conditions are the limiting factor—only 20% of the time are they ideal (typically light ESE-SE breezes). However, moderate E/SE winds (10-20kph) occur ~25% of the time, which may create manageable sideshore conditions. Stronger E/SE winds (20+kph) can spoil sessions, especially given their frequency (~15%). Swell direction aligns best with the spot’s exposure when SW, offering hollow, barreling sections, while smaller S/SSE swells provide softer walls. Advanced surfers will find the most opportunities on mid-to-large SW swells with lighter winds, but expect occasional onshore interference.
