The Lowdown
Rusty here again. Let’s run through the same, but in feet and Fahrenheit.
Water temperature’s running about 79°F, pretty normal for the season. Over the next couple weeks, the swell stays consistent in size, but the wind hangs mostly cross-off from the east and southeast, so you won’t often get glassy perfection.
Best early call is the morning of Thursday, 27 August. Swell’s 4ft from the SW with a long 16-second period, wind is a light 9 mph from the south-southeast—a gentle cross-off. The ocean’s got decent juice (1303 energy) and conditions look clean for a good session. That afternoon gets even more interesting: swell bumps to 4ft but the period stretches to 20 seconds, energy surging to 2876. That’s deep ocean groundswell. At a point or reef, it’d be dreamy; at a beach break expect some straight lines.
Friday, 28 August, is another big one. Morning brings 8ft swell from the SSW, 16-second period, and energy roaring at 3731. Wind is 9 mph from the southeast. This is expert territory—over 8ft is serious business. The afternoon holds similar.
Looking into September, the morning of Tuesday, 1 September, has 6ft swell from the SW, 16-second period, and a 12 mph east-southeast cross-off. The afternoon of that day cleans up better: wind drops to 9 mph, swell holds at 6ft with a long 17-second period and energy of 2249. That’s a solid session for experienced surfers.
Later, the afternoon of Sunday, 6 September, brings 7ft from the SSW, 16-second period, with a gentle 9 mph southeast breeze and energy at 2236. Another worthwhile window for the stronger paddlers.
Overall, a lot of marginal but rideable surf here. Crowds can show up sometimes at Halfway. The standout calls are the Thursday 27th and Friday 28th—those are the ones to plan around.

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.
