The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what we’ve got for the next couple of weeks. This forecast is all about Kuta Beach, so that’s the only spot on the table.
The general picture is a steady run of SSW swell, but the wind keeps it from being a total classic most days. The combined swell energy is mostly in the moderate to strong range (often between 935 and 2947), so there’s some real power moving through.
We kick off on the 3rd of September with a bit of push. Morning brings a 5ft SSW swell with a long 16 second period, cross-off ESE breeze at 16 mph. It’s clean but only marginal, and the energy is about 935. Not the standout.
Friday the 4th is similar but a touch smaller and still cross-off. Swell is 4ft from the SSW, period drops to 14 seconds, wind at 16 mph. Still marginal.
Saturday the 5th sees a bump. Swell hits 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, both from the SSW with a 16 second period. Wind is cross-off in the morning then goes cross in the afternoon. Energy is strong at 1422 and 1551. Still, it’s flagged as marginal.
Sunday the 6th has a 7ft swell in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, but the wind stays cross, creating a cross-chop. Energy jumps to 1859 and 2082 – plenty of power, but the wind is messy.
The best looking window shapes up around Thursday the 10th of September. Early morning has a 6ft SSW swell with a 15 second period, light cross-off wind from the SE at just 9 mph. That combo gives us *excellent conditions for experienced surfers*. Energy is 1399, and the waves are clean. That’s the pick.
The wave size is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners. Medium-period swell and clean conditions will give you some proper lines.
Also worth a look is Saturday the 12th afternoon. Swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, 14 second period, gentle cross-off breeze at 9 mph, and the energy is 1032. That session also scores as excellent for experienced surfers, so if you want smaller, cleaner waves, that afternoon is a solid back-up.
In between, there are days with cross-off wind but they only hit a marginal quality tag. The later stuff around the 17th and 18th of September looks promising but it’s a week and a half out, so don’t bank on it yet. The swell sits in the 5-7ft range with cross-off wind, and the energy is moderate to strong.
Crowds at Kuta Beach are marked as *always* busy, so paddle out early. Water temp is about average for this time of year.
Keep your eyes on Thursday the 10th. That’s the one.

Information about the Kuta Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kuta Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kuta Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kuta Beach 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 (Kuta Beach) 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 Kuta Beach 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.
Kuta Beach is 1 km (1 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in Kuta - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
