The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here, looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks. We've got a good south swell train coming through, but it's a mixed bag at Halfway. Water temp is about 80°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing crazy.
The main thing is there's surf almost every day from Thursday the 6th all the way through to the 21st. On Thursday the 6th, the swell is already a solid 6.9ft from the SSW, with a very long 17-second period. This is real groundswell with strong energy (2581). The wind is a cross-off from the ESE, keeping it clean, but the report says it's marginal. It's getting big for beginners, and that long period at a beach break will make the sets steep.
Friday the 7th sees the swell bump to 8.2ft, still long-period SSW. The energy is strong (3325). The wind is a bit lighter, still cross-off. It's a better call, but still a handful.
Here's the big story. On the 10th of August, Monday, we get a 6.9ft swell with a monster 19-second period in the morning, energy is very strong (4687). Then Monday afternoon, it jumps to a solid 9.8ft from the SSW. The forecast flat-out says it's predicted to be too big for this break. The same for the 11th (Tuesday) morning, and the whole day on Thursday the 13th, and again on Friday the 21st. For those sessions, with 9.8ft+ SSW swell and that long period, the wave energy is huge (6559, 6442). This is expert-only territory. The wind will be light and cross-off, so the surface will look perfect, but the power underneath will be overwhelming.
The surf drops back down on the 17th to a friendlier 5.6ft, and then to 4.9ft on the 18th from the SW. This is a much nicer size, with moderate energy (1330). Good reset.
The standout change comes at the end on Wednesday the 19th of August. The wind switches to a light breeze from the SSW at just 6 mph, making it a true cross-shore. The swell is 8.2ft from the same direction with a solid 17-second period and strong energy (3414). That light cross-shore wind will make the waves glassy. This is the pick of the second week, but it's far out, so it's promising, not a sure thing.
Overall, lots of swell but not a lot of perfect conditions for the average surfer. If you're an expert who knows Halfway, the 10th through the 13th will have some epic, if dangerous, waves. For the rest, the early mornings from the 6th to the 9th will be okay, and the drop in size on the 17th and 18th will be the most welcoming.
Stay safe out there.

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.
