The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next stretch. The only spot in the frame is Ekas-Outside, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and beginner-friendly. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We’re kicking off on Friday, July 31st, with a clean 4ft SSW swell pushing in at a very long 17 seconds. The wind is a cross-off from the SE, so it’s surfable, but the energy is solid and the tide or other factors keep it from being a standout. The afternoon sees the wind pick up a bit and the session gets trickier.
Saturday, August 1st, is a step up. Morning sees 5ft SSW swell, still clean, with a lighter breeze. The afternoon bumps up to 6ft at 17 seconds, clean and with moderate energy. This is a good window for experienced surfers – the waves are punchy but not too unruly.
Sunday, August 2nd, pushes into bigger territory. Morning waves hit 7ft with a 16-second period, and the energy is moderate to strong. The wind stays light and cross-off. This is right on the edge for beginners – over 5ft it’s getting a bit much. The afternoon holds similar size but the wind picks up, making it less clean.
From Monday the 3rd through the 6th, we’ve got a consistent run of 6ft to 8ft SSW swell, with periods gradually dropping from 15 to 14 seconds. The energy stays moderate, but the wind is a constant cross-off. It’s clean, but not firing on all cylinders – the tide or conditions keep the quality marginal.
Then Thursday, August 6th, we see a jump. The morning brings 8ft at 17 seconds, with strong energy. The wind is a moderate breeze, cross-off, so it’s clean. This is a solid session for experienced heads, but the afternoon wind gets stronger.
The real standout is shaping up for Tuesday, August 11th. The swell hits 10ft at 18 seconds, with very strong energy. The wind is a cross-off from the SE, still clean. This is a big, powerful groundswell – the long period (over 15 seconds) means it’s going to be a proper heavy reef wave, so it’s for experts only. The afternoon has similar size but a bit less energy.
Looking further out, Thursday, August 13th, is another interesting one. Swell drops to 5ft but the period stretches to an incredible 23 seconds – that’s a very long groundswell. The energy is still strong, which is a wild combo. This will produce long, clean lines at the reef, but it’s a real once-in-a-while feel. The afternoon sees the swell bump to 6ft and the energy jumps.
Then Friday, August 14th, is the biggest of the run. We’re looking at 12ft SSW swell with a 19-second period, and the energy is massive. The wind is a cross-off, clean. This is a serious, powerful swell – only for the most experienced. It’s a standout, but you’d want to be very confident on your board and in the water.
The last day we’ve got, Saturday the 15th, still has 10ft swell with strong energy, but the wind stays cross-off.
So, if I’m picking the two best windows: Saturday, August 1st afternoon is a great, clean, manageable session for most. And Tuesday, August 11th morning is the big, powerful groundswell for the experts – that’s the one to circle if you’ve got the skills. The 14th is also a beast, but it’s a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it.

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.
