The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what Halfway has in store for the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’re easing into it. Starting Wednesday the 29th of July, the surf is there but it’s nothing to write home about – a lumpy 4ft swell from the SSW with a cross-off wind blowing steady at 15 mph. The energy is moderate (816), but the conditions are messy. Thursday the 30th picks up a little, 5ft, still a bit rough. The real action starts to build from Friday afternoon.
The standout window. If you’ve got a bit of experience, you want to be looking at Saturday the 1st of August afternoon. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, with a long 18-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy (2455). The wind drops to a light 9 mph cross-off, keeping things clean. This is the best of the first week. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Then comes Sunday the 2nd of August morning. This is the absolute best of the whole run. We’re looking at a 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the ESE at 9 mph. That’s the magic combo – glassy and clean, with a combined energy of 2188. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The swell is getting solid, so beginners will want to stay on the beach.
The second week keeps the momentum going. From Thursday the 6th of August through to Tuesday the 11th of August, we’re talking 8ft to 8ft SSW swells, with periods hanging around 14 to 18 seconds. The wind stays cross-off, mostly from the SE at 9 to 15 mph. The energy is huge – on the 9th of August morning, it’s 3675. That’s a lot of water. The 9th and 10th of August afternoons are the true highlights of the second week, with light breezes and clean conditions. The 8ft swell is big, and with that long period, it’s going to be a beast. If you’re an expert, those are your days.
Towards the end, Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of August see the swell dropping back to 5ft to 6ft, still clean, but the energy winds down. Expect a few other surfers out there, especially on the weekends.
Overall, it’s a solid 16-day run. The first few days are a warm-up, but from Saturday the 1st of August through to the 11th, it’s consistent, clean, and powerful SSW swell. The absolute best is Sunday the 2nd of August morning for the offshore glass, and the 9th and 10th of August for the big, clean groundswell. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
