The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the next 16 days for Halfway. It's a bit of a mixed bag, to be honest. The swell's gonna be there, but the wind is the real story, and it's gonna keep things from being perfect most of the time. We've got a solid run of SW groundswell, but that cross-off ESE to SE wind is a constant companion, making for bumpy, lumpy conditions. The best bet is to wait for those rare moments when it swings offshore.
The first proper call is Monday morning, 20 July. There's a solid 5ft SW groundswell, but it's coming with a 19 mph cross-off wind. The combined energy is strong (2087), but the wind is just gonna mess it up. It's a similar story for the next few days – consistent swell, but the wind is a pain. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Now, here's a small glimmer. On Monday, 27 July, the wind shifts to an offshore ESE breeze at 9 mph. The swell drops a bit to 5ft from the SE, with a short period of 8 seconds. That's not great for shape, but the offshore wind will make it clean, and the energy is moderate (549). It's the best we've seen in a while, but don't expect perfection.
The real standout, the one that gets me a little excited, is on Sunday, 2 August. The morning has a 5ft SW groundswell, a 14-second period, and a clean offshore ESE wind at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate (1094), but the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. That's a solid, clean, powerful SW swell. The energy is moderate (1094). This is the one to circle on the calendar. Keep in mind, it's a fairly consistent break, so there's a good chance of finding a few friends out there, but with that quality, it'll be worth it.
After that, the swell holds into the 3rd and 4th, but the cross-off wind returns. The 2nd of August morning is the clear winner. It's a long way out, so don't hold me to it, but if the forecast holds, that's the session.
So, don't hold your breath for the next week or so. The wind is a problem. But if you can wait until the 2nd of August, you might just get a proper one.
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.
