The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer.
The next couple of days are pretty ordinary. We've got some clean surf coming through from Wednesday morning, but the conditions are just marginal, so don't expect too much. The water temp is sitting right on 81°, which is bang on average for this time of year – no surprises there.
The real story starts to build towards the weekend. Halfway is the only game in town, and it's exposed to the SW. The swell is rolling in from the SSW, and the combined wave energy is climbing. On Saturday, August 1st, things start to get interesting. The morning sees a 5ft SSW swell with a period of 16 seconds, building to a 6ft swell by the afternoon. The energy jumps into the strong range (2427), and the winds are a gentle cross-off breeze. This is solid, clean swell that will have some proper shape. It's on the bigger side, so it's best for experienced surfers, but it is the standout of the whole period.
The surf holds through Sunday, August 2nd with a clean 7ft SSW swell and long 17-second periods, and the energy stays high (2267). Monday, August 3rd is similar, but slightly smaller. Crowds can get on it sometimes, so you might have to share.
Looking further out, from around August 7th the swell really starts to pump, consistently hitting 8ft and climbing. The wave energy goes through the roof – we're talking four-digit numbers all the way. The problem is, by Tuesday, August 11th, that swell is predicted to get too big for Halfway, peaking at 10ft on Tuesday afternoon and then a massive 13ft on Wednesday, August 12th. The energy on that Wednesday morning is a colossal 10772 – that's extreme energy. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it might be a washing machine. It settles back to a more manageable 8ft by the 13th, but that's still a solid, powerful ocean.
Honestly, if you're looking for the best window, lock in Saturday, August 1st and Sunday, August 2nd. That long-period SSW groundswell with those gentle offshore winds is as good as it gets here. The sessions after that get big, fast. Stay safe out there.
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.
