The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. Let's get the picture on the Canggu reef.
The water temp is pretty standard for this time of year, nothing wild to report. Right now, it's a slow start. Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July are a total loss. No swell, messy conditions, and the wind is all over the shop. A bit of a flat spell to kick things off.
By Wednesday the 29th of July, there's a tiny pulse from the SSW, about 4ft to 4ft, but the period is a long 14 seconds, so there's some deep water energy. The cross-off wind out of the ESE at 16 mph is keeping the surface clean, but it's still a marginal day. The wave energy is weak, just starting to register.
Thursday the 30th of July is when you can start to think about a paddle. The swell bumps to 5ft from the SSW with a 15-second period. The morning is clean with that cross-off, and the energy levels are climbing into the moderate range.
From Friday the 31st of July through to Monday the 3rd of August, we settle into a really fun zone. Consistent 4ft to 7ft SSW groundswell, with those long, juicy periods holding. The wave energy is solid, pushing moderate to strong, hitting over 2900 on Sunday the 2nd. The key is grabbing the windows when the wind swings cross-off, which happens on Sunday arvo and Monday morning. That clean face will make for some beautiful rides.
But the real standout is waiting for you. Sunday the 9th of August and Monday the 10th of August are absolute beasts. The swell is going to jump to a powerful 8ft to 10ft from the SSW, with a serious 17-second pulse. The energy readings are massive – over 12,700 on Sunday, and a huge 13,800 on Monday morning. That is some serious power. This is expert-only territory, no question. The wind on Monday morning is a dreamy cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, setting up the reef for some perfect, grinding walls. Just know that this spot can get busy, so get out there early.
After that peak, the swell stays solid at around 6ft to 7ft for the rest of the week, with more clean, cross-off mornings on the 7th and 8th of August.
My advice? Sleep in for the first few days, get a few solid sessions in from the 31st of July, but plan your whole week around Monday the 10th of August. That's the session you'll be telling stories about.
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.
