Bawa Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what Bawa’s got lined up over the next stretch. It’s a reef and point setup, very consistent and exposed to the southwest. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

First look is Wednesday morning the 22nd. Glassy conditions, 4ft swell rolling in from the SSW with a 13-second interval. The combined energy is moderate at 538. This is straight-up good surf. Winds are light out of the NE and glassy. A strong start.

The rest of the week gets choppy. Winds go onshore and cross-onshore in the afternoons, swell drops a little. Friday the 24th bumps back up to around 5ft from the south, but wind is cross-shore, not clean. Still worth a dawn patrol.

Through the 25th to 28th, there are some morning windows. Sunday the 26th morning has 4ft SSW swell under a glassy NW breeze – that’s a solid, clean session. Monday the 27th afternoon goes dead calm, glassy, 3–4ft from the south. A sneaky good one.

Now, the first real standout is Thursday the 30th of July morning. Glassy, 3ft from the SSW, but with a *19-second* period – very long groundswell. Energy is strong at 1084. That’s a session for experienced folks, with waiting between sets. The reef and point at Bawa will handle that beautifully.

From there it picks up. Saturday the 1st of August morning – glassy, 4ft SW swell on 16 seconds. Very good. Then Sunday the 2nd of August morning: clean offshore from the NNW, 4ft SSW swell at 17 seconds. Energy 1330. Excellent.

But the big one is Tuesday the 4th of August. Morning has 6–7ft SSW groundswell, 19-second period, clean cross-offshore breeze. Energy is massive at 3534. Afternoon is even bigger at 7ft, 18 seconds. This is expert-only territory. If you’ve got the skill, that Tuesday is the standout of the outlook.

Crowds can show up *sometimes*, so expect some company at the peak during these magic windows.

Rusty.
