The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in. Let's look at what's on the table for the next couple weeks.
We're looking at a solid stretch ahead, with the first real pulse of action kicking off on Wednesday the 26th and rolling through. The water's sitting at 79°, pretty much your average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout of the whole run is hands-down September 9th. Swell is pumping from the SSW, pushing 12 ft, with a period of 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, the kind that brings real energy. The combined swell energy is a massive 8024, and the wind is offshore, clean. This is expert territory only. At over 8 ft, it's not for the faint of heart. But if you've got the skills, Balangan is going to be absolutely world-class that Wednesday morning.
Leading up to that, the week prior is solid too. From Thursday the 27th afternoon through to the end of August, we've got clean conditions with offshore to cross-off breezes. The swell sits between 5 ft and 8 ft, mostly from the SSW with periods of 14-16 seconds. Combined swell energy is moderate to strong, climbing from 2872 up to 3592 on the 28th. The 28th morning, with a clean 8 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, is a real standout for advanced surfers, with the wind holding offshore.
The first week of September keeps the momentum. Morning offshores are a constant. The 1st of September has a 6 ft to 7 ft SW swell at 16 to 18 seconds, still good for experienced crew, though the call is marginal on the tide. The 5th of September also looks like a good Saturday, with a 6 ft to 7 ft SSW groundswell at 16 seconds and moderate offshore winds in the morning.
Then, after that bangin' 9th, the 10th of September still has plenty of leftover energy – 10 ft dropping to 8 ft SSW, with a light breeze and clean conditions, perfect for those who want one more crack at it.
There are no real gaps of several days where there's no surf; this is a consistent run. Crowds are sometimes an issue at Balangan, so expect company on the best days.
Alright, get out there and charge.
Rusty.

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.
