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.

January at Two Mile/Easter Reef delivers consistent surf with an average swell height of 2.3m and a solid 12.5s period, providing powerful and well-formed waves. The swell direction is predominantly from the SW (58.43% of waves 1.5m+), which aligns well with the break, offering clean, rideable conditions. SSW and S swells also contribute, though less frequently. Wave heights are often in the 1.5-2.5m range, with 23.57% of SW swells reaching 2-2.5m—ideal for advanced surfers. However, winds are only favorable 19% of the time, primarily when light (0-20kph) and from the NNE to ESE. Stronger winds (20+ kph) frequently blow from the SE-SSW, creating cross-shore or onshore chop that can disrupt wave quality. While the swell is reliable, wind conditions are hit-or-miss, making early mornings or rare offshore wind days the best windows for clean surf. Expect heavier, fast-breaking waves on bigger SW swells, suited for experienced riders.
