The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down Kuta Beach for the next 16 days. Water temp is a balmy 80°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
We start Sunday the 9th of August with a 7ft SSW swell, very long 16-second period, and a 25 km/h cross-off wind. Combined energy is moderate at 1982, but the surf is only marginal. Monday the 10th keeps it similar in the morning – 6ft, 19-second period, energy strong at 3185, but still just clean and cross-off.
Monday afternoon the 10th is the first big call: 10ft SSW swell, 18-second period, energy at 4753 – that’s strong. But that’s too big for Kuta unless you’re a seasoned charger. Winds are 20 km/h cross-off, clean, but expert-only. Tuesday the 11th stays at 10ft with a 17-second period, energy 4501 in the morning, 5588 in the arvo – same story, big and clean, only for the brave.
Wednesday the 12th drops to 8ft, still 17-second period, energy 3006, but it’s marginal. Thursday the 13th has 8ft S swell, 17-second period, energy 3237, but the wind goes cross-shore with a little chop. Friday the 14th and Saturday the 15th hang around 7ft to 7ft with 15-17 second periods, moderate to strong energy. Saturday afternoon the 15th is clean with a gentle cross-off breeze, but still 7ft – good for experienced surfers.
Sunday the 16th drops to 7ft then 6ft, periods around 15-16 seconds. The standout is Monday the 17th of August. Morning brings a 5ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy 978 – moderate. Winds are light at 15 km/h cross-off from the ESE, and the surf is described as “very good conditions.” That’s the one to aim for: clean, manageable, and fun.
The rest eases. Monday afternoon the 17th goes to 5ft, energy 833, marginal. Tuesday the 18th bumps to 6ft with a 17-second period, energy 2787, still marginal. Wednesday the 19th jumps back to 8ft with a long 18-second period, energy 4291 – strong and clean, but expert-only. Thursday the 20th through Friday the 21st sit around 7ft to 8ft, with cross-off winds. Saturday the 22nd is 7ft and dropping. Sunday the 23rd to Monday the 24th are small – 5ft down to 5ft, with gentle breezes. Monday morning the 24th is another “very good conditions” call with a 5ft SSW swell, 14-second period, energy 935 – small but clean.
Best session is Monday the 17th of August. Monday the 24th is a solid runner-up. Crowds are always heavy at Kuta Beach, so be ready for company. It’s not a classic stretch, but there are a couple of decent windows if you pick your moment.
Rusty.

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.
