Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ketewel over the next 16 days.
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what we've got on the table.
Right off the bat, this is a tough stretch for surfers. For the next two weeks, Ketewel is going to be a real challenge. That reef set-up is usually a gem, but the wind is just not playing nice. We're looking at persistent cross-onshore breezes, mostly from the ESE and SE, which are going to keep the surface messy and choppy. The swell is there, no doubt, with a very long-period groundswell from the SSW, but it's just getting torn apart.
The standouts, if you can even call them that, are looking like the very end of the run. For the first week and a half, conditions are just plain poor. We get a bit of a pulse on the 14th of July with swell around 6ft, but it's still cross-on and the call is only 'marginal'. You'd be fighting it the whole time. The water is warm, about 82°, which is normal for the time of year, but that’s the only easy thing here.
If I had to pick a window, it’s the last few days of the forecast, from the 23rd of July into the 25th. The wind finally drops to a light breeze, 6 mph from the SE. That’s still cross-on, but with that little puff, we're talking light cross-onshore with small wind ripples, which is a heck of a lot cleaner than what comes before. The swell hanging around the 4ft to 5ft range with that long 15 to 17 second period will have some real push, but remember, that long period stuff on a reef can make it a bit trickier. The energy is moderate. It won't be perfect, but it’s the best shot at something ridable. Still, keep expectations low.
For the rest, it's a bleak outlook. The combination of moderate, choppy winds and just okay swell means this spot is likely better suited for a kite session than a paddle session for most of this period.
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.
