The Lowdown
Howdy, Rusty here, giving you the lowdown on Halfway.
The water temp is around 79°F, which is dead average for this time of year, nothing wild.
Right off the bat, from Monday the 24th through to Thursday the 29th, the surf is looking marginal. We've got a deep, long-period groundswell (16 seconds) coming in from the SSW at about 5 to 6 ft, but a steady cross-off wind from the SE at 12-15 mph is keeping it from cleaning up. The combined wave energy reads between 1322 and 1705—solid, but the quality's not there yet.
Now, Friday the 28th afternoon is the first real standout. The swell bumps up to a serious 8 ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period, and the wind eases to a gentle 9 mph cross-off. That’s going to be excellent, but only for experts—8 ft is big and powerful. The combined energy is pumping at 3255 and 3731. Circle this one.
The next week holds consistent surf. Saturday the 29th morning sees the swell drop to a still-chunky 6 ft with clean conditions. There’s a little lull towards the end of August, but Monday the 1st of September brings back solid 7 ft SW swell hanging through Wednesday the 3rd, though the wind picks back up to 15 mph. The swell direction is in the zone for Halfway, but not a perfect match.
In the second week, look at Sunday the 6th to Tuesday the 8th of September. We get a consistent run of 7 to 7 ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period and those gentle 9 mph cross-off breezes again, with strong energy readings from 1883 to 2144. This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. It’s a week out, so it’s promising but not locked in.
Best bets are Friday the 28th afternoon for the big stuff, and the stretch from the 6th to the 8th of September for clean, strong waves. Crowds are possible at Halfway, so expect company on the good days.
Stay stoked.
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.
