The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch it up for the imperial heads.
We’ve got a solid run of surf kicking off from Thursday afternoon. This ain’t beginner stuff for the most part—this is proper, powerful groundswell with some serious push. The water’s sitting at 79°F, which is just about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Let’s start with the standout. Thursday afternoon, the 13th of August, is going to be serious. Balangan is looking at a 10ft SSW swell with a 16-second period. That is a meaty, long-period groundswell, packing a massive 4103 units of energy (very strong). With clean, offshore winds from the SE at 16 mph, conditions are going to be absolutely pristine. This is a reef break, though, and at that size with that much grunt, it’s expert territory. No question about it. If you’ve got the skills, this is the session to target.
Friday the 14th stays solid, with a 7ft SSW swell (16-second period) and light offshore breezes in the morning. Still a big, powerful wave, but a touch more manageable than Thursday. The afternoon sees the wind go a little cross-off, so stick to the morning for the cleanest lines.
Saturday the 15th is a beauty. A 8ft SSW swell with a 17-second period in the afternoon – that is some proper, long-interval groundswell. The energy is 3202 (strong), and the wind is offshore all day. For a more experienced surfer looking for a long, open face, this is a top-tier call.
Sunday the 16th holds strong with a 7ft morning session, dropping a bit to 6ft by the afternoon. Still clean, still offshore. You can’t go wrong.
The 8ft mark is breached again on Wednesday the 19th of August. An 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period and 4374 units of energy (very strong). That’s a huge, long-range groundswell. For experts only, and absolutely smoking.

Information about the Balangan Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Balangan provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Balangan can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Balangan 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 (Balangan) 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 Balangan 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.
Balangan is 10 km (6 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - 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.
