The Lowdown
Mate, Rusty here. Let’s talk Legian Beach.
We’ve got waves right from the start. No dry spell. The kick-off is Thursday morning, 10th September, with a solid 7ft SSW swell, long 15-second period, and combined energy of 2368—that’s strong. It’s clean with a cross-off breeze from the SSE at 9 mph. This is proper groundswell for experienced surfers. That Thursday morning session is the early standout.
Through the rest of the week and into the next, the swell holds between 5ft and 7ft, mostly from the SW or SSW, with periods hanging in that sweet 14 to 18-second range. Winds stay cross-off or just cross most days. The combined energy sits moderate to strong—like 2583 on Sunday the 13th. A few windows have marginal tides, so pick your hours. Water temp is about normal for the time of year—just your classic Bali warmth.
The big highlight is Wednesday morning, 23rd September. Swell is 6ft from the SSW, very long period of 17 seconds, combined energy of 2826, and the wind is a light breeze at 6 mph from the SE, cross-offshore. That’s glassy, clean, and powerful. Best session of the whole outlook. That kind of period can make beach breaks a bit straight, but Legian handles it well with its mixed bottom.
Another top pick is Sunday the 20th afternoon and Monday the 21st morning and afternoon—6ft SW swell, energy around 1510-1709, clean cross-off breeze. Cracking waves.
Legian Beach sees crowds often, so expect company on the good days. Swell direction from SSW and SW matches the exposure of this spot nicely. It’s a consistent break, so you’ll get plenty of waves.
The tail end around the 24th and 25th gets smaller and choppier. Not the best. But overall, there’s a solid run of clean, strong swell here.
Rusty.

Information about the Legian Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Legian Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Legian Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Legian 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 (Legian 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 Legian 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.
Legian Beach is 3 km (2 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.
