The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, pull up a stool. Let’s talk waves.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a solid, persistent SW groundswell running for the next couple of weeks straight. No waiting around. The forecast is packed with waves pretty much every day, but the quality is a mixed bag. The water temp is sitting at a warm 80°, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy.
The biggest issue is the wind. For the first week, it’s mostly a moderate cross-shore from the SE at 12 mph, which is going to put a bit of a chop on the face and keep things from getting that glassy, perfect look. The swell is solid though, ranging from 5 ft right up to a hefty 10 ft. That 10 ft stuff on Tuesday 11th and Thursday 13th carries some serious energy (5146 and 4153 respectively), but it’s also pushing right into the expert-only zone. Beginners will want to sit that out.
The best of the first week looks like Wednesday 12th and Sunday 16th. Wednesday morning brings a 7 ft SSW swell (2877 energy) with a clean cross-offshore wind from the ESE. The wave shape should be much cleaner through the morning. Sunday the 16th looks similar in the morning: 7 ft SSW swell (2266 energy) with that same clean cross-off. Those are the standouts for the first half.
The second week is where the real highlight sits. Friday 21st August morning is the absolute pick of the entire forecast. We’re looking at 8 ft SSW swell (3445 energy) with a light, gentle cross-off breeze from the ESE. That’s about as clean as it gets for Canggu (reef). The forecast even calls it “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” That’s the one to clear your schedule for. Just a heads up, it’s over 5 ft, so it might be pushing it for beginners, and with a crowd rating of "sometimes," you can expect a lineup of locals and travelers in the know.
After that, the swell slowly backs off into the last few days of August, dropping to around 5 ft to 6 ft, but the wind remains a stubborn cross-shore, so it’ll be mushy and choppy for the tail end of the run.
So, the big call: if you want waves, you've got them. Wednesday mornings (12th and 19th) are your clean windows, but Friday 21st August morning is the real gem. Get on it.

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.
