The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead for Halfpoint/Fullpoint. There’s nothing rideable for the first week and a half, and even when the calendar flips past July 23rd, it’s still barely a whisper. Let’s break it down.
From Monday the 13th right through to Thursday the 23rd of July, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with zero scores. That’s a solid ten-day hole of nothing. The wind is relentless from the ENE and NE, blowing a fresh 18 to 22 mph cross-shore at best, often cross-on, and the water’s a mess of lumpy cross-chop. The swell all comes from the ENE and NE, short period around 7 to 8 seconds, so it’s weak, junky, and onshore-battered. The combined energy sits between 100 and 682 (moderate), but it’s wasted with that wind. The only flicker of a different swell direction comes on Thursday the 16th – a 2 ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, but it’s crossed up by a 18 mph ENE cross-on wind, so forget it. Water temperature is 79° on the Monday, which is bang on average for this time of year (anomaly of 0.1°), so you’ll be warm but not surfing.
The 24th of July (Friday morning) finally scrapes a “marginal” score of 1 out of 10. Swell drops to 4 ft from the ENE, period 9 seconds, energy at 531 (moderate), and wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-shore from the NE. It’s still cross-chop and lumpy, but it’s the first hint of something you might paddle for. The afternoon goes back to zero with a fresh breeze.
The 25th of July (Saturday) is a total write-off – strong breeze at 25 mph, cross-shore, messy, 3 ft of long-period E swell (15 seconds) that’s better suited to a reef than this beach setup, but the wind kills it.
The real standout – and I mean the only one worth a trip if you’re desperate – is the 28th of July (Tuesday). That’s over two weeks away, so keep your expectations in check. Morning and afternoon both get a “marginal” score of 1. The swell hits 6 ft from the ENE, with a 14-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 1691 (strong) in the morning and 1491 in the afternoon. That’s real energy. The wind is moderate from the NE at 15 mph in the morning, cross-shore, so it’s cleaner than anything we’ve seen. But here’s the catch: that long-period groundswell (14 seconds) can make the break a bit too straight and walled-up for a beach setup, and there’s still a cross-chop. The crowd profile says “often” busy here, so expect company if it’s even half decent. For a local break that’s fairly consistent, this is the one window to watch – but it’s a long-range call, so don’t book the day off.
And honestly, with that much wind and cross-chop through the whole period, this setup on a beach break looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s nothing else to say – the drought is real.
Rusty.

Information about the Halfpoint/Fullpoint Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Halfpoint/Fullpoint provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Halfpoint/Fullpoint can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Halfpoint/Fullpoint 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 (Halfpoint/Fullpoint) 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 Halfpoint/Fullpoint 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.
Halfpoint/Fullpoint is 15 km (9 miles) from the city of Kailua. If you plan a vacation in Oahu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kailua. Kailua has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
