G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s brewing for Ketewel over the next couple weeks.
Right now, we’re in a rough spot. From Friday 3 July through Sunday 5 July, there’s solid SSW swell running 6 ft to 6 ft, with long periods of 14 to 16 seconds – plenty of energy (1318 to 1661). But the wind’s either onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and ugly. The reports say marginal or poor. Not worth the paddle.
Monday 6 July to Thursday 9 July keeps the same theme: swell from the SSW at 4 ft to 6 ft, periods up to 16 seconds, and combined energy climbing to 2035 – that’s powerful stuff. But the wind stays stubbornly cross-onshore from the ESE or SE at 12 to 13 mph, tearing up the surface. The wave comment keeps calling it poor or marginal. It’s a tease.
Friday 10 July to Sunday 12 July the swell fades, from 5 ft down to 3 ft, energy dropping to 356. Wind stays cross-onshore through Friday and Saturday, with poor conditions. Sunday afternoon the wind turns onshore, but the swell’s tiny.
Here’s the first real hope: Monday 13 July through Wednesday 15 July the winds ease to light or gentle breezes, around 6 mph, and we start seeing more onshore winds. Swell builds back to 4 ft to 6 ft, with periods of 14 to 16 seconds and energy up to 1567. The comments say marginal with questionable tide, but the light wind could clean it up. Tuesday 14 July is the best of the bunch: swell 5 ft to 5 ft from the SSW, period 16 to 17 seconds, with light SSE onshore winds at 3 to 6 mph – near glassy. With those long-period groundswells, the waves will have good shape, though at a reef like Ketewel, you’ll get longer lulls between sets, making the paddle out easier. Water temp is 28°C, right around average for this time of year.
Thursday 16 July the swell holds around 5 ft to 5 ft, but the wind turns cross-onshore again, and quality drops. Friday 17 July is poor with smaller swell and moderate wind.
The last chance is Saturday 18 July. Morning looks promising: 4 ft SSW swell at 14 seconds with light SSE onshore wind at 3 mph – glassy. Afternoon the swell jumps to 5 ft with a very long 18-second period and energy of 1854, light cross-onshore wind, but still marginal. If that morning window holds, it could be the cleanest session of the whole forecast.
Bottom line: the first 10 to 12 days are full of gaps with poor conditions. The only real standouts are Tuesday 14 July and Saturday 18 July morning, and even they’re marginal. If you’re itching to surf Ketewel, keep an eye on those light wind windows – otherwise, wait for a better pattern.
Rusty.

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.
