Halfpoint/Fullpoint Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you—this forecast for Halfpoint/Fullpoint is a real struggle. We’ve got a big gap before anything worth mentioning. The first decent shot doesn’t come until Thursday, September 25th, so we’re staring down almost two weeks of pretty grim conditions. That wind out of the ENE just won’t let up, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the surf quality is poor every single day.

Early on, the swell is tiny and hammered by the breeze. The water temp is 81°F with an anomaly of just 0.2°F, so totally normal for this time of year. For the first week and a half, you’re looking at small, chopped-up waves—most under 3ft, short period, just messy. The combined energy is in the low to mid hundreds, which is weak to moderate, but it’s all for nothing with that wind. On September 17th we get a pulse of 7ft swell from the ENE, but it’s cross-shore and lumpy with a stiff breeze—no good. That afternoon even shows 7ft swell and combined energy of 1008, but it’s still cross-shore and messy. Not for a paddle board.

Then it finally turns. Thursday, September 25th is the one to mark. Friday morning we get a 7ft swell from the east, period up to 10 seconds, and the wind goes light from the ENE—gentle breeze, just a slight cross-chop. That’s the cleanest we see, and the combined energy hits 1020, which is strong. It’s still a marginal call, but compared to everything else, this is the standout. For a spot that’s exposed to east-southeast swells and fairly consistent, this is your best chance. With 7ft swell, it’s on the bigger side for beginners, but intermediates should get some. Crowds are often here, so don’t expect a solo session.

There’s a little hope on the Thursday before, September 24th, with 6-6ft swell and light onshore wind from the SSE, but it’s still marginal. Not worth rushing for. The next Saturday, the 26th, slides back into that same old cross-shore chop.

So yeah, there’s a long quiet spell until the 25th. That Friday is your play, but keep expectations in check—it’s just the least ugly option in a rough stretch. The forecasts can change, and this spot doesn’t stay flat forever.

Rusty.
