The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again, in feet and miles. Let’s break down the next two weeks at Kuta.
The first legitimate surf arrives on Sunday, July 19th. The water is a nice 81°F, right on the money for this time of year.
Kuta Beach is the only game in town. It’s a consistent, exposed beach break. The best bet is Monday, July 20th. We’ve got a solid SSW swell coming in at 6ft, with a 17-second period. That’s real groundswell, packing a punch. The wave energy is pumping strong (2241). The wind is a cross-off from the SE at 19 mph, keeping things reasonably clean. It’s a bit much for beginners. The window that really gets my blood pumping is the first weekend of August. Saturday, August 1st, delivers a 6ft to 8ft SSW swell, with a 17-18 second period, and the wind eases to a moderate 16 mph cross-off. The energy is strong (2979). That’s the standout. Sunday the 2nd looks similar, but keep an eye out for possible thunderstorms. Earlier in the week, the 28th of July has a punchy 6ft SE windswell with a short 8-second period—a bit junky, but surfable. The 30th of July brings a long-period SSW groundswell (19 seconds) at 3ft, with moderate cross-off winds from the SSE. Clean, but small. This spot is always crowded, so bring your patience. It’s a beach break, so if the wind cranks, it’ll be better for the kite crew. The short period swell (8 seconds) from the 26th to the 28th is weak. The long-range forecast for the 31st and into August looks promising, but it’s a waiting game.
Rusty out.

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.
