The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid run of groundswell on the way for Ekas-Outside, starting this Tuesday, the 28th of July. The swell direction is a consistent SSW, which is exactly what this reef setup likes to see. It's a fairly consistent break, so it won't be a complete lottery, but it's a fairly exposed spot, so it's going to catch pretty much everything that's on offer.
The week kicks off with a clean 3 ft SSW groundswell (16 seconds) on Tuesday morning, but the conditions are rated as marginal. The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 19 mph, which keeps the surface clean, but the wave energy is still moderate (810). Tuesday afternoon builds into a similar swell, but the wind picks up to 22 mph, making it a bit tricky.
Wednesday sees the swell lift to 4 ft (14 seconds) with the same cross-off SE wind, keeping things clean. The energy is building up nicely, moving into the high hundreds (888). Thursday is where things start to get interesting. The morning brings a 5 ft SSW swell (15 seconds) with a moderate breeze (16 mph) and the combined energy is now strong (1540). By Thursday afternoon, the period stretches to 19 seconds, a very long groundswell, sending that energy even higher (1641). This is a proper groundswell, so it will have those long lulls between sets, but the waves will have real shape and power.
Now, the standout window. Saturday, the 1st of August, is the first real highlight. The morning shows a 5 ft SSW swell (16 seconds) with a gentle breeze from the SE at 9 mph. The conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers, with a strong combined energy (1463). The winds are light, making for some super clean conditions. The swell is starting to push up, and you can feel the energy in the water.
Sunday, the 2nd of August, is another prime day. The swell jumps to 7 ft in the morning, holding that long 16-second period. The wind is a light ESE at 9 mph, and the energy is very strong (2228). This is the best of the first week. The afternoon sees it peak at 7 ft, but the wind bumps up a touch. The wave size is getting solid, and the conditions are excellent for those who can handle it.
We have to talk about the water temp. The first recorded reading is 80°F with a tiny anomaly of +0.2°F, so it's basically bang on average for this time of year. No need for a wetsuit.
The swell keeps pumping through the first week of August. Monday the 3rd drops back slightly to 6 ft (15 seconds) but is still clean and excellent in the morning. The energy is still strong (1410). Tuesday the 4th holds similar size, but the energy starts to dip a touch. The pattern is consistent: clean mornings, building wind in the afternoons. A surfer's schedule should be an early one.
Beyond the first week, the forecast gets a bit more intense but less certain. For the weekend of the 7th and 8th of August, the swell is going to get big. Friday the 7th morning sees a 10 ft SSW swell (17 seconds) with a massive energy reading (4295). That is a lot of water moving. The wind is still a cross-off, but at 12 mph, it's manageable. This is expert territory—anything over 8 ft is for the experienced crew only. The 9th of August looks to be the absolute peak of the run, with a 10 ft swell (18 seconds) and an absolutely pumping 5080 in the morning, climbing to 5241 in the afternoon. The wind is fresh, but it's still cross-off. This is a serious, powerful swell.
The real standout for the whole period? Saturday the 1st of August. The combination of a good 5 ft swell, very long period, light winds, and excellent conditions makes it the best on offer for the first week. For the second week, the 9th of August is the one to watch, but it's a long way out and the size is intimidating. It's a promising, powerful swell, but the details might change. For the surfer who wants quality and power, not just chaos, the 1st and 2nd of August are your days.
The energy levels are high for the entire run, with most days showing three-digit or four-digit energy readings, and the latter part of the forecast hitting five digits. That's serious energy.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is your best bet for quality, clean surf. The second week is for the big-wave chargers. The water is warm, the wind is mostly cross-off, and the swell is consistent. This is a good run.
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.
