Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kuta Beach over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break down the surf in feet for you locals.
This is all about Kuta Beach. The first real swell shows up on Saturday, July 11th. The morning brings a clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is pumping at 1289, so it’s got some push. Winds are cross-off from the ESE at 25 km/h, keeping the faces clean but a bit textured by the breeze. This is the best bet to start the period.
The energy builds through the start of the week. By Tuesday, July 14th, the swell is up. The morning hits 6ft from the SSW with a long 17-second period, and the energy jumps to 2232. The afternoon pushes it to 6ft. That’s serious, powerful groundswell. The wind stays cross-off so it’s clean, but it’s a lot of water. The whole stretch from Saturday 11th through Monday 20th is flagged with "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions," so while there’s size, you need to be picky about the tide. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
The real standout is Tuesday, July 21st. The morning has a 6ft SSW swell (1453 energy) and a light ESE breeze at only 10 km/h. The report says "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is the top pick for the experienced crowd with cleaner conditions than the windy days.
Then on Wednesday, July 22nd, we get a magic window. The morning goes completely glassy with a slight offshore wind from the SW at just 5 km/h. The swell is a nice 4ft from the SSW with a 13-second period and 980 energy. The report says "expect very good surf conditions." That’s the dawn patrol morning – clean, lined up, and beautiful.
After that, the size drops. Thursday, July 23rd, has a glassy morning with a 6ft swell, but it’s short-period (8 seconds) from the SE. The energy is weak at 699. It’s a windswell, not the good groundswell. The following Friday to Sunday, July 24th-26th, sees the swell fade to under 3ft, with combined energy dropping to 289-740. The winds stay clean, but there’s no power. The second week is quiet – small, clean, but weak.
So, the two days to circle are Tuesday morning, July 21st for the experienced crew, and Wednesday morning, July 22nd for the glassy, perfect lines. That's where it's at.

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.
