The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty. Let's break down what's happening at Balangan for the next couple of weeks. This reef is going to be working consistently with a solid run of swell. The water's at about 79°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year, nothing unusual.
We start off on Monday, September 14th, with a 6ft SW groundswell at a long 16-second period. The wind is a fresh offshore from the ESE, so expect clean, lined-up waves. The combined swell energy is strong at 1494. It's a bit of size for a beginner, but for anyone with experience, it's a good start. Tuesday and Wednesday keep the 6-6ft range going with clean offshore winds. Tuesday afternoon is flagged as excellent for the experienced crowd. The swell direction is right in the sweet spot for this break.
Thursday the 17th morning is another cracker: 6ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze, giving you clean, powerful waves with an energy of 1554. The weekend sees the swell drop a bit to 4-5ft, but it stays clean with light winds, making it more accessible. Saturday the 19th is particularly nice with a light breeze.
Then the big pulse arrives. Sunday the 20th has a 6ft SW swell at a long 16 seconds, with a gentle offshore wind. The energy is massive at 1875. That morning is the pick. The next week keeps the 5-6ft range coming with clean conditions.
The absolute standout is Sunday, September 27th. We're looking at a huge 10ft SSW groundswell with a 20-second period – that's very long period groundswell. The combined energy is an insane 7757. The wind is a gentle offshore, so it's going to be clean. This is expert territory only – the size and power are serious. Monday the 28th is still huge at 10ft with a 17-second period, but the afternoon gets a bit messy. After that, the swell settles back to a solid 6-8ft range through the end of the month.
There's no real downtime – it's consistent for the full 16 days, but the final weekend is the one to aim for if you've got the skills. Crowds are a real possibility when it's this good, so plan accordingly.
Stay salty.

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.
