The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer at Halfpoint/Fullpoint over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is a long, frustrating run of messy, cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions that just won't let up. The water's sitting at a pretty normal 79° for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's cooperating. The combined energy is all over the shop, hitting moderate levels like 633 (recorded Monday morning), but it's all being trashed by the wind. For the first week and a half, you're looking at a lot of poor surf, with waves mostly in the 2ft to 6ft range coming from the ENE, but the wind is either a fresh cross-shore or a choppy cross-onshore breeze, making it ugly. This isn't the kind of setup you want to paddle into; honestly, with that constant cross-wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday the 27th of July. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the east with a very long period of 15 seconds and moderate energy (825). The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it's still not perfect, but it's a step in the right direction. By the afternoon, the swell ticks up to 4ft from the east, still with that lovely 15-second period, and energy is building (881). The wind stays moderate cross-shore. It's only described as marginal, but that long period suggests better shaped waves and longer gaps between sets, which makes paddling out a bit easier. A point break or reef would be the go here, but at Halfpoint/Fullpoint, it's a watch-and-see.
Then, Tuesday the 28th of July is the real standout. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the east with a 13-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a strong 1129. The wind is still a moderate cross-shore, but with that much energy in the water, it's our best chance. The swell pushes to 6ft from the east by the afternoon, with a 12-second period and energy cranking up to 1310. This is substantial size, over 5ft so it's a bit much for beginners, but not quite the 8ft that's only for experts. It's the best on offer in the whole 16-day window, but it's still tagged as marginal, so don't expect perfection. The far-off nature of this date means it's promising but less certain.
So, if you're patient, there's a payoff at the end. The rest of the time, save your energy. The run of poor conditions is over a week long, and it's a bummer, but the forecasts can change.
Rusty.

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.
