The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again with the same outlook, just in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
We've got a 16-day window for Kuta Beach, and the opening acts are a bit mushy and unorganized. The first few days are surfable, but nothing to write home about. Kuta's a consistent spot though, so it always has potential.
The first real standout is the morning of Saturday, September 5th. We're looking at a 6ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1422, and we've got a gentle cross-offshore breeze. This will clean things up nicely, but at this size, it's for the more experienced surfer.
Then, get ready for Thursday, September 10th. The morning is shaping up to be a classic. A 4ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period, holding a high energy reading of 1988. With a gentle cross-offshore wind, the conditions are going to be glassy. The wave shape should be excellent, but the long period will mean bigger lulls, making it easier to get out the back. Another one for the experienced crew.
There's a quiet spell around the middle of the month, but things pick back up. The afternoon of Monday, September 14th looks clean with a 4ft swell and gentle offshore breezes. Tuesday, September 15th morning brings a punchy 6ft SSW swell and clean cross-off conditions. The tail end of the forecast on Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th of September mornings also look like good bets with clean, chest-high waves.
Kuta Beach (Bali) is your classic exposed beach break. We're seeing swell from the SSW, and the sweet spot for this break is SW, so it’s a good angle. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so you'll probably need a wetsuit top or a full spring suit.
Keep your eyes on those mornings, especially the 5th and 10th.

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.
