The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, we’ve got a solid run of swell on the way. The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so nothing wild there. The main source is a long-period groundswell from the SSW, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-shore, keeping things a bit bumpy.
The best session is looking like the morning of Monday, August 12th. We’ve got clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, and the swell is a solid 8ft from the SSW with a 17-second period. That’s proper grunt, and the combined energy is reading 3237, so there’s plenty of power. Being a reef break, that long period should wrap in nicely. With the swell at 8ft, it’s getting up there, so it’s not for the groms or beginners. The crowds can be a thing here, so expect some company.
Another one to have on the radar is the morning of Thursday, August 22nd. The swell is a bit smaller at 7ft from the SSW, but the wind is light and cross-shore, which will keep the surface from getting too messy. The combined energy is 2331, so it’s still got a decent push. It’s a bit further out, so the confidence isn’t as high, but it’s worth noting.
For the rest of the run, we’ve got waves pretty much every day, but the wind is mostly cross or cross-shore, which means there’s often a bit of a chop. The mornings on the 9th, 12th, 16th, and 17th of August have a cleaner cross-offshore wind, which is a bonus. The swell stays in the 5ft to 10ft range, so it’s a mixed bag of conditions. The periods are long, mostly between 15 and 19 seconds, so the waves will have good shape but expect longer waits between sets.
The end of the run, around August 23rd, looks like it’s fading a bit with the swell dropping to 6ft, but the wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean if you’re out there.
So, overall, there’s a lot of swell on offer, but the wind is the main factor. The cleanest windows are the standouts, and Monday, August 12th is the pick of the bunch.
Rusty.

Information about the Canggu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Canggu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Canggu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Canggu 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 (Canggu) 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 Canggu 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.
Canggu is 7 km (4 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in West Coast of 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.
