Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kuta Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's look at what's on offer for the Kuta Beach region over the next couple of weeks. The water temperature here is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary there.
To be honest, it's a bit of a frustrating stretch ahead. For the first week and a half, the surf is consistently *there* but just isn't coming together. We’ve got a solid, long-period swell pumping in from the SSW (with a hefty combined energy reading of 1901 at the start), but the wind is locked in from the ESE as a cross-off breeze most of the time. That keeps the surface tidy, but these big 15 to 16 second periods are making the waves break a bit top-to-bottom at a beach break like Kuta. It’s punchy, but the ride feels short and a bit ordinary. The wave energy values stay in the strong range, peaking around 2137 on the afternoon of Tuesday the 14th, but the quality just isn't making the most of it. The best part of this run is probably the Sunday afternoon of the 12th, when the wind drops to a gentle breeze and the combined energy is a moderate 322. At 2.6 ft from the SSW with a 12-second period, it'll be small but cleaner than the rest.
We hit a bit of a lull over Monday and Tuesday of the second week, before things try to pick up again. The standout in this whole outlook actually lands on the afternoon of Monday the 20th. We’ve got a very long-period 5.6 ft SSW groundswell arriving, period hitting 18 seconds, with a combined energy reading of 2332 – that's serious power for Kuta. The wind is a fresher cross-off from the ESE, keeping the face reasonably clean. Even though these long-period waves might close out a bit on the sand, the sheer energy is impressive. Early the next morning, Tuesday the 21st, stays good too, with a clean 6.6 ft SSW swell on the cards. It’s a couple of weeks out, so keep an eye on it, but that could be the one that finally delivers a proper session if the wind holds.
So, for the best bang for your buck, chalk up the Monday 20th and Tuesday 21st as the ones to aim for. For the rest, it’s small, or windy, or just not giving you that glide you’re after. If you only get one paddle, make it that second Monday.

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.
