The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for Nyang-Nyang.
First thing you gotta know is, this spot is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it's fairly consistent. Right now, the water is sittin' at 79°, which is pretty much average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. From Friday the 31st of July right through the first week of August, we’re looking at a real struggle. The wind is just nasty, coming out of the SE and blowing cross-onshore, smashing up the surface. The swell is there, but it’s a mess. We’ve got a solid 6ft to 8ft of SSW groundswell with a long period of 15 to 17 seconds, which gives the waves some real grunt – the combined energy is massive, sitting between 1500 and 3800 – but it’s all for nothing with that wind. The wave comment says it all: "poor surf conditions" or "marginal" at best. It’s choppy, lumpy, and just ugly. Honestly, for a beach break, this setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. But this is a reef, so it’s just a frustrating wait.
We have a gap of about a week with no decent surf. The best you can hope for is a "marginal" 6ft on Monday morning the 3rd of August, but even that’s a 2/10 at best in my book.
Hold on, because things change. The standout window is right around Tuesday the 11th of August. Tuesday afternoon, the winds finally ease up to a gentle breeze, still cross-onshore, but it’s a big improvement. The swell is absolutely pumping: a massive 12ft from the SSW, with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is a staggering 8494 – that’s some serious power. This is big, heavy groundswell. For a reef break like Nyang-Nyang, that long period is perfect for shaping up some deep, barreling lines. The catch? This is for experts only – 12ft is way too big for anyone else. It’s not clean, but it’s the most interesting it’s gonna get.
The following Wednesday the 12th of August still has some size, with 10ft on the morning and a nice shift to an onshore wind in the afternoon, which might actually clean it up a bit.
After that, the swell stays solid but the wind turns back onshore, and we’re back to that poor surf condition call. The 15th of August sees another massive pulse of 12ft SSW swell (8030 energy), but again, it’s blown out.
So, the final word: don’t bother for the first week. The only real standout, and it’s a big "if", is Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon. That’s the one to circle on the calendar for the big dogs. It’s promising, but it’s a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed that wind forecast holds.
Rusty.

Information about the Nyang-Nyang Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nyang-Nyang provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nyang-Nyang can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nyang-Nyang 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 (Nyang-Nyang) 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 Nyang-Nyang 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.
Nyang-Nyang is 16 km (10 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.
