The Lowdown
Right then, mate, let’s have a look at what’s comin’ our way for Nusa Dua.
Alright, mate, don’t get your hopes up just yet. I’m lookin’ down the whole sixteen-day window and to be honest, it’s a tough run. The first real chance of anything decent is a bit of a wait, and even then, the winds are gonna be a struggle for most of it. We’ve got some proper size and energy rollin’ in from the SSW, but the wind just won’t play nice.
The standout window across the whole period is the morning of Thursday, 10th September. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best of a bad bunch. Nusa Dua itself is a reef setup that loves that SSW direction, and we’re seein’ a solid 6 ft of swell with a 16-second period. That’s a proper groundswell with plenty of grunt behind it – combined energy is 1516, so there’s some real power out there. The wind will be light from the SE, just a slight air, which is about as close to clean as we’re gonna get for a nice cross-on. The water’s sittin’ at 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
Now, the reason I’m pointin’ you at Thursday morning is simple – the week before it is pretty much a write-off thanks to a 12 mph breeze keepin’ things choppy. And after that Thursday window? The wind picks straight back up into a 12 mph breeze, messin’ up the face again, even though the swell sticks around.
So, a lean run. The swell’s there in the background often enough, but that wind just won’t give us a break. It’s one of those periods where you’ve gotta be ready to jump on that small window or wait for the forecast to change.

Information about the Nusa dua Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nusa dua provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nusa dua can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nusa dua 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 (Nusa dua) 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 Nusa dua 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.
Nusa dua is 12 km (7 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - 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.
