The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on what's coming up for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's looking like a bit of a grind. There's a persistent cross-onshore breeze from the ESE or SE that's just going to stir things up and keep the surface looking pretty ragged for most of the run. The water temp is about par for the course, nothing crazy.
The only game in town is Nyang-Nyang, a consistent, advanced reef that needs a clean SW swell to really fire. The swell direction is often in the right ballpark, but the wind is the problem.
Right now, and for the next few days, it's a total no-go. The wind is too strong and onshore, creating poor surf. The wave energy is moderate (1088) on Sunday morning, but it's just not clean. This pattern is locked in for the first week. The energy will swing between moderate and strong (up to 2969), but the wind won't relent. There will be waves, but they'll be a choppy mess.
We'll see a bit of a lull around the 4th of September, with the energy dipping to a weaker 810, before it starts to build again. The only real standout, and the one to keep an eye on, is shaping up for the 8th and 9th of September. A solid pulse of strong energy (3809) is due on Tuesday the 8th, with a SW groundswell pushing 2.4m and a very long 18-second period. The next morning, Wednesday the 9th, it's still solid with 2.5m swell from the SSW and strong energy (3217). This is big, powerful, long-period groundswell. For a reef like Nyang-Nyang, that's a tempting prospect. The catch? The wind is still cross-onshore. 2.5m with a strong cross-breeze is strictly for the experts. The long 18-second period means the sets will be powerful and the paddle out will be a real battle.
The final stretch, from the 10th to the 14th, eases back to 1.6m to 1.9m, but the wind stays cross-onshore. The energy is moderate (around 1100-1500), but the conditions remain marginal.
So, the bottom line: the first week is a bust. The second week dangles a carrot of some serious, heavy swell, but it's a gamble with the wind. If you're an expert who can handle a powerful, messy lineup, you'll want to be watching the 8th and 9th of September. For everyone else, it's a waiting game.
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.
