The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you about Nusa Dua. This isn’t one of those times where I can get you amped up. The next 16 days look pretty grim.
We’re looking at Nusa Dua, a reef break that’s about as consistent as they come, but right now, it’s being hammered by a relentless cross-onshore breeze. For the entire forecast period, from Tuesday, the 14th of July, all the way through to Wednesday, the 29th of July, it’s a constant battle with moderate to fresh winds from the ESE or SE. That means every single session is going to be choppy or lumpy. The water temp? It’s about average for this time of year, so no thermal surprises there.
Looking at the numbers, the swell is actually there. We start on Tuesday morning with a 6ft SSW groundswell, clocking in with a long 17-second period and a combined energy of 2589, which is strong. That’s a lot of power, but the wind just destroys it. The forecast literally says "poor surf conditions" for every single time slot. Every morning, every afternoon, for over two weeks. That’s a tough pill to swallow.
For a break this exposed to the SSW, the direction is spot on, but the onshore wind kicks it to pieces. The bigger days, like Monday the 20th, see the swell pushing 7ft with energy up at 2313, but with those same choppy conditions, it’s just a messy, blown-out wall. Even when it drops off, the wind doesn’t let up.
The reality is, there isn’t a single standout day in this window. Not one. For a break that’s usually very consistent, this is a blank run that hurts. The only real takeaway is that if you’re into kite surfing, that strong cross-onshore wind and 5ft to 7ft swell might look fun. For a paddle surfer, you’re better off waiting for the forecast to change, and with a spot as reliable as Nusa Dua, it often does. But for now, stay on the beach.

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.
