The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here breaking down the next 16. The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag, starting Thursday the 30th of July. The water temp is 80°F, which is about dead average for the season, so no shock there.
The real gem in this forecast is Saturday the 1st of August. Ekas-Outside (Lombok) is looking at a clean 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, with a period of 16 to 17 seconds – that’s proper long-period groundswell. The wind is a gentle cross-off breeze, and the wave energy is solid (1374 to 1687). That combination of a light offshore groomer on a reef break with that much period is going to give you the best shape and most glassy faces of the whole run. Crowds are “sometimes,” so expect a few heads out there, but it’s worth it. That Saturday is the pick of the forecast, without a doubt.
Further down the line, the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August is another standout. The swell will be 7ft from the SSW with a 14-second period and a light breeze keeping the surface clean. The wave energy is pumping (2697). By the afternoon, it jumps to 10ft, but the wind swings cross-shore, adding a bit of texture. The morning session on the 11th is the one to target there.
After that, Wednesday the 12th of August holds 8ft SSW swell, but with cross-shore winds that will put a slight chop on the face. At that size, that’s expert territory only, and it’s not going to be as clean as the Tuesday morning.
Overall, the first week is a slow warm-up. The wind is mostly a steady southeast cross-off at 9 to 15 mph, keeping things clean but not glassy until that Saturday. The second week is where the ocean beefs up, with wave energy readings frequently in the 2000 to 4700 range – that’s a lot of power behind those swells. A lot of those days have marginal tags due to wind or tide, but Tuesday the 11th and Friday the 14th look to have the best morning windows.
Remember, with periods hitting 15 to 20 seconds, this is proper groundswell. The waves will have more push, but you’ll get longer lulls between sets, so picking your moment to paddle out will be key. On a reef, that long period just makes the wave face hold that much better.
Bottom line: Don’t rush the first few days. Save your legs for Saturday the 1st of August. And if you’re thinking long-range, the morning of the 11th is worth a look. Keep your wetsuit zipped and your eyes on the horizon.
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.
