The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the only spot worth talking about for this stretch. Let’s break it down.
We’re looking at a solid run at Lacerations (Nusa Lembongan) , kicking off on Sunday, August 30th and running all the way to Monday, September 14th. This is a shallow reef break, strictly for advanced crew. The water temp is nothing out of the ordinary for the season.
Sunday, August 30th starts us off clean. Offshore breeze from the ESE, swell from the SSW at 4ft, with a 13-second period, combined energy of 754 (moderate). Gentle but clean all day.
Monday, August 31st gets better. Still offshore from the SE. Morning brings 4ft of SW swell, but look at that period—18 seconds! Energy at 974 (moderate). By the afternoon, it’s 5ft from the SSW with that same long 18-second period, energy jumping to 1325 (strong). That’s a proper groundswell, perfect for this reef.
Tuesday, September 1st is a standout. Morning offshore, 6ft from the SSW, still 18 seconds, energy at 1682 (very strong). This is building into something special. The afternoon goes cross-off but stays clean, with 6ft from the SW at 17 seconds.
Wednesday, September 2nd keeps the quality. Offshore morning, 5ft from the SW, 16-second period, energy at 1436 (strong). Good shape, good power. Afternoon goes cross-off.
Thursday, September 3rd backs off a touch. Offshore in the morning with 4ft from the SW, 16 seconds, energy 794 (moderate). Fun but not a standout.
Friday, September 4th and Saturday, September 5th see a dip. Cross-off wind, smaller swell, shorter period. Clean but weaker. A bit of a flat spell.
Sunday, September 6th picks back up. Clear, cross-off wind, 6ft from the SSW in the morning, energy 1792 (very strong). Afternoon has 5ft from the SSW, energy 1809 (very strong). Big, powerful sets, but that cross-off breeze stops it from being perfect.
Monday, September 7th still pumps. 6ft from the SSW in the morning, period 14 seconds, energy 1435 (strong). Clean but cross-off.
Tuesday, September 8th afternoon is massive. 7ft from the SSW, 18-second period, and energy hits 2919 (very strong). That’s a serious, very long-period groundswell. Once you get over 8ft, it's expert-only. The cross-off keeps it clean, but this is raw power.
Wednesday, September 9th morning is the absolute best of the whole run. Offshore wind, 7ft from the SSW, 17-second period, energy 2795 (very strong). Clean, powerful, and lined up perfectly on the reef. Again, expert territory, but off the charts.
Thursday, September 10th morning stays good with offshore wind, 6ft from the SSW, 15-second period, energy 1432 (strong). Still pumping.
From Friday, September 11th onward, it settles. Sizes drop to 4ft to 5ft, periods around 14-16 seconds, energy in the moderate 700-900 range. Cross-off wind keeps it clean, but the fire is gone.
The clear winner is Wednesday, September 9th morning at Lacerations. If you can handle the size and the reef, that is your session. Tuesday afternoon and Monday morning are also top-tier. The rest of the time offers plenty of clean, fun waves for the skilled crowd.
