Two Mile/Easter Reef

Best Surf Season (April - September)

As the Southern Ocean roars to life in autumn and winter, Two Mile/Easter Reef comes alive. The mean swell height climbs to 9-10ft (2.7-3.1m) with average periods reaching 12.7-13.0s, putting the spot firmly in the powerful, long-period groundswell category. The dominant SW and WSW energy is generated by a relentless train of extratropical cyclones and cold fronts sweeping below Australia, and because the break faces due south, this window delivers the sturdiest, most consistent waves of the year. Crucially, the same months see the highest percentage of ideal offshore winds - NNW, NW and N flow arrives behind fronts and around strong high-pressure ridges, giving clean walls and proper hollow sections. April and September are the gates, while May through August are the heart of the season.
