The Lowdown
Rusty here, looking at Canggu.
The overall pattern is a long run of SW groundswell, but quality is hit or miss with the wind and tide.
Sunday, September 13th – Swell runs 6ft to 7ft out of the SW with a very long period of 17 to 18 seconds. Energy is strong – 2559 to 2621. Morning wind is SE cross-shore at 12 mph, a little bumpy. Afternoon goes cross-offshore and cleans up. Water temp is 80°, right on average for this time of year. Not a standout, but surfable.
Monday 14th to Wednesday 16th – Swell holds 5ft to 6ft, period 15 to 16 seconds. Winds cross-offshore or cross-shore in the mornings, 15 to 16 mph. Energy stays moderate to strong (1248 to 1561). Clean mornings, nothing special.
Thursday 17th to Saturday 19th – Swell eases to 4ft to 6ft, period 14 seconds. Lighter winds, 6 to 9 mph, but cross-shore, so a little rippled. Energy drops to 900 to 1151.
Sunday 20th to Monday 21st – A pulse: 6ft to 7ft, period 14 to 16 seconds, energy up to 1459 to 1937. Light cross-shore winds. Mornings are your friend.
Tuesday 22nd – Small at 4ft to 5ft but a very long 18-second period in the afternoon. Energy 1466. Light cross-shore. Could be a sleeper.
Wednesday 23rd to Thursday 24th – Swell builds to 7ft, period 14 to 16 seconds, energy 1656 to 2194. Light to moderate cross-shore winds.
Friday, September 25th – The standout. 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period – very long period groundswell. Combined energy is a massive 4416 in the morning, dropping to 3154 in the afternoon. Morning wind is light SSE cross-shore at 6 mph, just small ripples. This is clean and powerful. Afternoon gets a cross-onshore breeze. Morning is the call. Best session of the whole period. Experts only at this size.
Saturday 26th to Sunday 27th – Still solid: 6ft to 7ft, period 15 to 16 seconds, energy 1385 to 2115. Light cross-shore winds.
Monday, September 28th – Fades fast. 4ft to 5ft, period 13 to 14 seconds, energy 639 to 677. Moderate cross-shore wind. Not much doing.
Crowds – Canggu gets busy, especially on the good days. Friday morning will be popular.
Bottom line – Circle Friday, September 25th morning. That’s the one. The rest is a mix of OK to good, but nothing else truly stands out.

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.
