The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here again for the imperial version. Balangan is shaping up to be a ripper for the next couple of weeks if you know what you’re doing. Water temp is around 80°F, nothing unusual for the season.
We’re looking at a sustained run of long-period groundswell out of the SSW and SW, which is exactly what this reef wants. The energy in the water is strong to very strong, with numbers hitting triple and quadruple digits, so there will be plenty of push.
It kicks off on Saturday, 29 August. The morning is the pick: a 6ft SSW swell at 15 seconds, a light 6 mph cross-offshore breeze, and clean surf. This is for experienced surfers only. The afternoon drops to 4ft but stays clean with offshore wind.
The pattern of clean, offshore winds holds through Sunday and Monday, with swell sizes between 4ft and 6ft. Monday’s swell stretches out to 18 seconds, which is very long period. You’ll have long waits, but the waves that come through will be powerful and lined up.
Tuesday, 1 September, the swell jumps to 7ft at 18 seconds, blowing offshore at 16 mph. That’s a heavy, grunty wave. This trend of excellent surf for experienced surfers continues through the week.
You get a bit of a wind shift on the 5th and 6th, turning cross-offshore, which might put a bit of a bump on the face, but the swell sticks around.
The real magic pops up again on Tuesday, 8 September. The afternoon is a freak show: a 3ft swell at 20 seconds with an offshore breeze, but the energy reading is 2427. That’s a tiny wave with a massive punch, right on the reef. Wednesday the 9th morning is also a top pick: 7ft at 16 seconds with a gentle 9 mph offshore, energy at 2429. It will be perfect.
Into the second week, the run continues strong right through to 13 September. Saturday the 12th morning has 7ft SW at 16 seconds with light offshore wind. Sunday the 13th matches it with an even bigger energy reading of 3390. This long-range forecast looks promising for some seriously good waves.
Keep in mind, Balangan can get crowded, so plan for it. This is a classic reef, and with the swell direction and wind locking in, it’s the one to watch.
Rusty out.

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.
