Canggu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s brewing for Canggu over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, but there are some real gems if you can pick your days.

Starting Saturday 11 July, there’s a clean 5ft SW swell running with moderate energy (1219). Winds are cross-off from the SE at 12 mph, keeping things tidy. Water temp is 82°, which is about normal for the time of year. Sunday 12 July drops to 3ft, and the afternoon gets a cross-chop, so it’s a quiet day.

The action kicks up from Tuesday 14 July. Tuesday morning brings a clean 6ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period and energy climbing to 2753. Winds are cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph – glassy. Tuesday afternoon hits 7ft, still clean, so it’s getting chunky. Wednesday 15 July holds at 7ft, still with that long period (16 seconds) and clean conditions. This is the standout: solid, clean, and the SSW direction is perfect for the reef. The longer period means bigger lulls, making it easier to get out back.

Thursday 16 July drops to 5ft, clean in the morning but cross-chop in the arvo. The pattern of clean 5ft to 5ft swells runs through to Saturday 18 July, but afternoons get a bit choppy.

Sunday 19 July afternoon bounces back with a clean 6ft SSW swell and a 19-second period, with energy at 2601. That’s a solid session, but the real spike comes Monday 20 July. That morning has a clean 8ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, and energy roaring at 3100. Winds are cross-off from the ESE at 18 mph – fresh but offshore. That’s expert territory up near 8ft, but it’s powerful and clean. Tuesday 21 July holds at 6ft clean, and the energy stays strong.

After that, the swell fades. Wednesday 22 July drops to 4ft, and by Friday 24 July we get a 5ft clean morning, with a bigger 6ft pulse Friday afternoon. That afternoon on the 24th has energy at 3191 and a 16-second period – another big session, but it’s a week and a half out, so stay tuned. Saturday 25 July sits at 7ft but with thunderstorm risk, so expect some chop. Sunday 26 July fades to 6ft, clean in the morning but cross-chop later.

Canggu can get crowded sometimes, but with the consistent, clean conditions and the reef holding the swell, it’s a solid bet. The top picks are Tuesday 14 to Wednesday 15 July, and that massive Monday 20 July.
