The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down. We've got a 16-day window, but it's a rough one for Nyang-Nyang. This is a top-tier reef break that needs a southwest swell, and it's getting the size, but it's all locked in behind a stubborn cross-onshore wind that just won't quit. The water's at 80°F, which is pretty much average for this time of year.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, 14 July, and you can see the problem straight away. There's a strong 6ft to 7ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a very long period of 17-18 seconds, carrying serious energy (combined energy values hitting 2852 to 3180). That's a proper pulse, but it's being blown out by a 16 mph ESE wind. That's a cross-on, making for a choppy, lumpy mess. The score is zero for a reason. Wednesday, 15 July, is just a marginal call at best in the morning with a 7ft, 16-second swell but still a 16 mph cross-shore. It's not clean.
From Thursday, 16 July, right through to the end of the first week and into the second, it's the same story. The wind is your enemy. We're looking at 16-19 mph ESE winds, clocking in as cross-on, and the wave quality is consistently poor. The swell fluctuates between 3ft and 7ft, but it doesn't matter how much water is moving when the wind is shredding the surface. The combined energy stays moderate to strong (values like 550 to 3020), but it's all wasted. There's a bit of a dip in swell around the 19th of July, but the wind doesn't ease up.
There's a glimmer of hope right at the tail end of the window. On Tuesday, 28 July, the swell drops to 3ft but the period jumps to a very long 19 seconds, and the wind backs off to 12 mph. The morning is still a marginal call. Then, on Wednesday, 29 July, we see the wind finally drop to 9 mph, giving us a gentle cross-on. The swell is a clean 4ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the combined energy is 1211. That's the best-looking setup in the whole forecast. It's still not perfect, but it's the only time the conditions look remotely surfable.
So, what's the standout? There's no true standout here. The only spot that even gets a passing grade is the morning of Wednesday, 29 July. It's a late call, and it's still only a marginal window. The reef at Nyang-Nyang will be working, but you'll be dealing with a bit of chop. The long period (17 seconds) will give it that classic groundswell push, perfect for a reef, but the cross-on wind will stop it from being a classic. If you're desperate, that's your day. But honestly, for the rest of the 16 days, with this persistent cross-onshore wind, this setup looks more like a kite-surfing zone than a paddle surfer's dream. The swell is there, but the quality is not.

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.
