The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming our way.
We’re looking at a solid stretch of swell at Ekas-Outside, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The first few days are a bit of a tease; there’s wave energy, but the wind is just a little too fresh to really let it shine. The real standout window is shaping up for the first weekend of August, so keep your eyes on that.
Kicking off Friday the 24th, we’ve got a clean, long-period SSW groundswell at 3 ft and 13 seconds, but with a 16 mph cross-off breeze, it’s not doing us any favors. The combined swell energy is moderate (710). The water temp is a pretty average 80°, nothing unusual there. The afternoon picks up a bit more size to 3 ft, but the wind picks up to 19 mph, and the energy climbs to 851. It’s just not quite there.
Saturday the 25th morning is the best of the early days. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 994. That’s a decent groundswell. The 12 mph cross-off is still a factor, but it’s cleaner. The afternoon gets sloppy, though, with 22 mph winds making a mess of the 4 ft swell. Not worth it.
Sunday the 26th sees a shift in direction to the SE, with a shorter period of 9 seconds. The morning swell is 7 ft, and energy is solid at 1039, but that wind is back up to 16 mph. The afternoon gets too big and too windy – 8 ft with 22 mph winds, energy at 1285. That’s cleanup city, and the short period means it’s going to be a lumpy, close-out mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.
Monday through Thursday of that week is a wash. You’ll see some swell, but the winds are consistently too strong, and the quality just isn’t there. We’ve got a few days of marginal surf, but nothing to get excited about.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The weekend of August 1st and 2nd is our bright spot. Saturday the 1st morning is the absolute pick of the pack. We’ve got a gorgeous 5 ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the wind drops to a gentle 9 mph breeze. The combined energy is a solid 1619. This is the one – clean, long-period lines, and it’s even flagged as excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon sees the swell jump to 6 ft and the period extending to 18 seconds, with energy hitting 2276. The wind stays manageable at 12 mph, so it’s still good, but the morning is the magic window.
Sunday the 2nd keeps the energy going. Morning swell is 6 ft from the SSW at 16 seconds, energy clocking in at a massive 2908. The wind is a steady 12 mph. The afternoon gets bigger at 7 ft with an 18-second period, and energy peaks at 3226. That’s a lot of power. This is a classic groundswell setup, so it’s going to be best for the reef at Ekas-Outside, with proper lines and long gaps between sets. It’s a bit much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be pumping.
The following week (August 3rd to 8th) is a long run of consistent, strong SSW and SW swells. The sizes are all between 5 ft and 8 ft, and the periods are hanging in the 14-17 second range. The energy values are all in the 1700 to 2500+ range – strong to very strong. The wind is a constant 12-16 mph cross-off, which keeps it clean but not perfect. The consistency is there, so you’ll be able to get waves, but it’s not the glassy perfection of that Saturday morning. Keep an eye on the 7th and 8th, which have solid 7 ft and 7 ft SSW swell at 16 seconds, with energy over 2000. That’s serious power.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a struggle with the wind. The standout is Saturday, August 1st, in the morning. That’s your best bet for clean, lined-up groundswell. Sunday the 2nd is also a cracker, with more size and energy. The second week is a solid, consistent run of powerful groundswell, but always with that cross-off breeze. Don’t sleep on the 7th and 8th either.
Stay frothy, and I’ll see you in the lineup.
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.
