The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Alright, we’ve got a solid, extended run of surf on the table for Ekas-Outside. This is a reef setup that is fairly consistent and handles a south-southwest to southwest swell well, with a clean cross-off breeze out of the south-east for the whole period. Water temp is 79°, just about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Thursday, August 27 – We start with a morning pulse of 4ft southwest swell at a very long 16 seconds. Combined energy is moderate at 1199, but that period gives the waves some real shape. The cross-off wind keeps it clean. Afternoon steps up in energy to 1683 with a 3ft swell and a 20-second period, but the forecast flags questionable tide conditions, so don’t get too locked in for the arvo session.
Friday, August 28 – This is the standout morning. We’ve got 8ft of SSW swell, period 17 seconds, and combined energy is pumping at 4104. This is big, clean, powerful reef surf – absolutely for experienced surfers only. It’s well overhead and the energy is serious. The cross-off breeze keeps it from getting blown out. This is the best on offer.
Saturday, August 29 – Backs off a touch to 7ft SW swell at 15 seconds in the morning, still plenty of juice at 1791 combined energy. Still clean. Afternoon drops to 6ft, same period. Good, but not quite the showstopper Friday was.
Sunday, August 30 – Settles into the 5ft range with 13-second periods. Energy drops under 1000 in the morning (981). Still clean, but the quality is more average. Tides might be a factor.
Monday, August 31 – Picks up again. 5ft but a very long 18-second period, combined energy climbs back to 1580. That long period means well-shaped, powerful lines, but at a beach setup it can break a bit straight. Here at the reef, it should be a treat. Afternoon gets to 5ft, still 18 seconds, energy at 1721.
Tuesday, September 1 – Another shot of size. 7ft SW swell, 18 seconds, energy at 2946. Wind is up to 19 mph in the afternoon though, so the morning is the call. Still only for experienced crew.
Wednesday, September 2 – Holds at 7ft and 17 seconds in the morning, energy at 2588. Clean again. Afternoon 7ft. Maintains the quality, but the wind stays moderate.
Thursday, September 3 – Drops to 5ft, period 16 seconds, energy 1325. Still okay, but the energy is fading.
Friday, September 4 – Down to 4ft, 14 seconds. Weakest of the run so far at 736 combined. Barely worth the paddle.
Saturday, September 5 – Bounces back to 6ft SSW, 16 seconds in the morning, 1614 energy. Afternoon 7ft, but shorter period at 14 seconds. Looks promising again.
Sunday, September 6 – Holds at 6ft, period drops to 14 seconds, energy 1362. Clean but not the quality of earlier in the week.
Monday, September 7 – 6ft SSW at 14 seconds, energy 1370. The afternoon brings an "expect very good surf conditions" note, so that’s a highlight.
Tuesday, September 8 – Fading. 5ft, 13 seconds, energy 882. Afternoon is poor with 19 mph wind. Skip it.
Wednesday, September 9 – Small rebound. 4ft but a long 17-second period, energy 1126. Wind picks up hard in the arvo – 22 mph. The morning is your only window.
Thursday, September 10 – Another pulse. 7ft SSW, 15 seconds, energy 1791. Clean morning with gentle breeze. That’s a solid late-run standout if the forecast holds.
Friday, September 11 – Wrapping up with 6ft SSW, 15 seconds, energy 1446. Still clean, still ridable.
Overall, Friday August 28 morning is the clear winner – biggest, cleanest, most energy. Keep an eye on Thursday September 10 as a promising long-range option too, but don’t bank on it yet.
Rusty.

Information about the Ekas-Outside Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ekas-Outside provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ekas-Outside can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ekas-Outside 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 (Ekas-Outside) 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 Ekas-Outside 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.
Ekas-Outside is 29 km (18 miles) from the city of Praya. If you plan a holiday in South Coast of Lombok, look for hotels and other accommodation in Praya. Praya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
