The Lowdown
Alright mate, Rusty here, let’s break it down for Halfway. The next 16 days have a couple of good windows, but there’s a flat spell in between you’ll want to dodge.
The real highlight is Tuesday the 8th of September. That afternoon sees a solid 8ft SSW swell with a long 18-second period – proper groundswell, huge energy (5515 combined energy). That’s expert-only territory, but with a gentle 15 km/h SSE breeze, it’ll be glassy. If you’ve got the skills, that’s your day. For a slightly less heavy option, Wednesday the 9th of September morning has a 8ft SSW swell and light 10 km/h cross-shore wind – still beefy but more doable for strong intermediates.
The first week is average at best. From Tuesday the 1st through Saturday the 5th, you’ve got 4ft to 7ft SW/SSW swell, but it’s held up by a cross-offshore wind at 20-25 km/h. The energy runs from moderate to strong (2523 down to 662), but that wind will chop it up. Rideable, but nothing special.
After the 9th, it fades. Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th still have some chest to head high SSW leftovers (7ft to 6ft), but a moderate SE breeze kills the quality. Then from Saturday the 12th onward, it drops off hard – a few days of marginal 5ft to 5ft slop. Not worth paddling out.
But then Tuesday the 15th morning brings a last little pulse: 7ft SSW with almost no wind at 5 km/h, clean conditions. A solid late-period option for a quiet session.
Halfway is a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the SW. That long-period swell on the 8th will make it punchy with big gaps between sets – best for a point or reef setup, but it’s a beach, so expect some straight walls on the sets. Water temp is nothing unusual for this time of year.
Rusty out.

Information about the Halfway Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Halfway provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Halfway can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Halfway 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 (Halfway) 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 Halfway 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.
Halfway is 2 km (1 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in Kuta - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
