Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mawi over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Mawi. The water’s about 82°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, nothing to worry about.
The surf kicks off Monday afternoon, 13 July. It’s a modest start with a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a massive 21 seconds. That’s some serious long-period groundswell, and it’s packing moderate energy (1048). The wind is a cross-off from the SE, so it’ll be clean. On a reef like Mawi, that long period can make the waves a bit straight, but it’s a fun start.
The pick of the whole forecast is Wednesday morning, 15 July. The swell has jumped to 7ft from the SSW, period 16 seconds, and the wind is finally offshore from the ESE. This is prime time – excellent surf for experienced surfers, with moderate energy (2479) pushing through. That offshore wind is gonna make the faces look like glass. This is the session to plan for. 7ft is big enough you’ll want to be on your game; it’s not for the groms.
Tuesday afternoon 14 July also has a good 7ft swell, but the wind is cross-off, not full offshore. As we move into Thursday 16 July, the swell backs off to 6ft, and the wind picks up to 25-30 km/h from the SE, making it a bit choppy.
The weekend (Saturday 18 and Sunday 19 July) sees the swell drop to around 5ft, with the wind still solid from the SE. It’s surfable, but not the best quality. Mawi can get crowded sometimes, so be prepared for company.
The following week brings a bigger pulse on Monday 20 July, with 8ft to 8ft SSW swell, but again, the fresh SE winds keep it from being clean. The best bet in the second week is Sunday morning 26 July. The swell is a more manageable 4ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, with a gentle 15 km/h SSE wind. The energy is moderate (1226) and the conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a very solid morning.
So, overall, the first week has the most power and the cleanest conditions, with Wednesday 15 July being the absolute standout. The second week has a couple of good windows, but the wind is a bit more of a factor. We’re looking at a solid 2-week run of surfable waves, with only a few small days around 25 July.
Rusty.

Information about the Mawi Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Mawi provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Mawi can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Mawi 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 (Mawi) 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 Mawi 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.
Mawi is 25 km (16 miles) from the city of Praya. If you plan a holiday in South Coast of Lombok, look for hotels and other accommodation in Praya. Praya has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
