Alright, I’ve been staring at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, we’ve got a bit of a rough stretch ahead.
Look, the first thing you need to know is that for most of July and into the third week, there’s really nothing to get excited about at Halfpoint/Fullpoint. The wind is just relentless out of the ENE, almost always blowing a stiff cross-shore or cross-onshore breeze. That’s keeping the surf messy and lumpy, with the combined wave energy bouncing around in the moderate range but never really cleaning up. The swell is a short-period 7 or 8 seconds too, which just doesn’t give you any real push. About the only thing to note is that the water temperature feels about like what you’d expect for this time of year—nothing weird there.
The conditions are poor pretty much every day from Thursday, July 9th right through to the end of Saturday, July 18th and into Sunday the 19th. The swell sits between 5 ft and 8 ft most of that time, but the wind is just too strong and on it to make it worth paddling out. It’s a full-on cross-chop mess. Honestly, for a beach-and-reef setup like this, that stiff ENE wind is making it look a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The first real shift comes around Monday, July 20th. That’s when we finally see a long-period groundswell pushing in from the east, with a period of 16 seconds and combined energy jumping up (strong). The swell height drops back to 3 ft to 4 ft, and the period stays very long, up to 17 seconds on Tuesday the 21st. That’s the kind of energy that can really wrap around a point or reef, but at a beach break like Halfpoint/Fullpoint, that long period can make it break a little too straight and shut down. The wind is still a fresh cross-shore, so it’s not glassy, but it’s a lot more manageable. The 21st of July has the best chance of a clean-ish wave, with the energy peaking. It’s marginal, but it’s the only flicker of life in the whole forecast.
From Wednesday, July 22nd, it dries up again, with the wind picking back up and the swell dropping. So really, if you can wait until July 20th and 21st, that’s your window. It’s not a classic, but it’s all we’ve got.

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.
