Right, let’s get real about Ketewel.
The 16-day outlook is a rough one – the finder shows no good sessions, and the guide says this spot is inconsistent anyway, so a dry spell like this isn’t surprising.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a week of moderate cross-onshore breezes from the ESE and SE, blowing 12 to 15 mph, churning the water up. The swell is hanging around 4 to 6 feet out of the SSW with periods of 14 to 16 seconds, carrying moderate to strong energy (around 1000 to nearly 2000 units), but the wind is making it a total mess. Every window is either “poor” or “marginal” at best, and the surface is choppy. There’s no day where the wind turns offshore or goes glassy.
That long-period groundswell (14-16 sec) should mean good lines, but at a reef break like Ketewel, a cross-onshore wind just tears them apart. The one half-decent moment is a morning on Sunday the 12th, where the swell drops to 3 feet and the wind gets light (6 mph), but the energy is weak (around 400) – it’s not enough.
The second week shows a flicker of hope around Monday the 13th. By Tuesday the 14th of July, the swell builds to 6 feet at 17-18 seconds, with energy shooting up to 2321 – that’s strong. And the wind goes light, even turning onshore but very light, with the report calling it “marginal” instead of poor. That Tuesday morning could be the standout if the breeze drops completely or goes glassy. After that, it’s back to moderate cross-onshore winds and fading swell.
So, what we’ve got is a lot of swell with no clean windows. The only real chance is Tuesday the 14th of July – and even that’s a maybe. For now, it’s a bust. But forecasts shift, and Ketewel can wake up. Don’t write it off completely.

Information about the Ketewel Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ketewel provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ketewel can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ketewel 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 (Ketewel) 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 Ketewel 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.
Ketewel is 7 km (4 miles) from Denpasar. If you plan a holiday in Sanur - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Denpasar. Denpasar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
