The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down in feet and Fahrenheit.
The water’s sittin’ around 80°F – that’s pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild. The next couple of weeks are all about a solid south-west groundswell hitting Halfway. The first few days are surfable but the wind is cross-off, so it’s a bit of a battle. The real standout, the one you wanna mark on the calendar, is the morning of Thursday, August 6th. That morning we’ve got a clean 7ft SSW swell pumping in with a 17-second period – that’s proper groundswell, lots of energy, and for the first time the wind is true offshore out of the ESE. That’s gonna set up some clean, lined-up waves for the experienced crew. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s not a beginner’s day, but for an intermediate with a bit of go, it’s prime.
From Friday, July 31st through Wednesday, August 5th, it’s a mixed bag. The swell hangs around 4ft to 7ft, mostly from the SSW, but that cross-off wind just never quits. It’s clean enough to get wet, but the quality is only marginal. The energy builds through the weekend, hitting strong by Saturday afternoon, so there’s push, but the wind is a dampener.
The real problem in the second week is that the swell gets too big for Halfway. From Tuesday, August 11th, we’re lookin’ at 10ft to 12ft of SSW swell with periods up to 19 seconds. That’s huge energy – way too much for this spot. It’ll be a washing machine. Only for the elite, and even then it’s sketchy. The afternoon of Wednesday, August 12th, sees the swell drop back to 8ft, and the wind eases off, so that’s a reset. From the 13th into the 15th, we’re back in the 7ft to 8ft range with clean, gentle cross-off breezes. The morning of Friday, August 14th, is the other golden window – a 8ft SW swell, 16-second period, light winds, and the best rating in the whole run. That’s a proper session.
Crowds at Halfway can sometimes show up, so get in early for the best ones. The long period groundswell on the 6th and the 14th will give you better shaped waves and longer lulls between sets, which makes paddling easier – but it can also make the waves close out a bit if you’re on a beach break. Halfway is exposed, so it’ll handle the direction fine.
Rusty.

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.
