The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.
We’ve got a long stretch ahead, and honestly, it’s a tough one. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, constantly battling a strong cross-onshore wind. The swell is there, but the quality is just not there. It’s a real shame because Nyang-Nyang (reef) is a setup that needs clean conditions to shine, and it’s just not getting them. From Saturday the 25th of July through to Friday the 31st, we’re looking at winds from the ESE at 15 to 25 mph, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell energy is moderate to strong, with values like 1285 on Saturday morning, but it’s all wasted on rough conditions. Even the long-period groundswells, with periods up to 17 seconds, are getting chopped up.
The first real chance of a session comes on Saturday the 1st of August. The wind drops to a moderate 12 mph, and the afternoon shows some promise. Swell from the SSW at 7 ft with a 18-second period – that’s a long period groundswell, which is great for a reef like this. The combined energy is strong at 2462. The wind is cross-shore, which is better than the cross-on we’ve been seeing, but it’s still a moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop, so it’s a marginal call. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s not a standout.
Sunday the 2nd of August sees a similar story. The afternoon again has moderate cross-shore wind with a 6 ft SSW swell, and the period is a very long 20 seconds. The energy is very strong at 3734. This is a powerful groundswell hitting the reef, but the wind is still a factor, keeping it from being perfect. It’s another marginal option.
After that, we’re back into the fresh cross-onshore winds through the middle of the week, with waves getting too big for comfort, up to 8 ft on Monday the 3rd. That’s expert territory, and with the wind making it lumpy, it’s not a fun paddle. The combined energy hits 3272, but it’s all just messy.
The long-range window, from the 5th of August onwards, stays frustrating. The wind eases a little by the 9th, but the cross-onshore breeze keeps the surface average. The swell remains solid, with 8 ft SSW groundswell on the 9th and energy at 2668, but it’s still a marginal prospect. The wind is simply never truly offshore or glassy, and that’s what this reef needs. For the whole 16-day window, the best bet is the afternoon of the 2nd of August, but even that is a gamble with the cross-shore chop. It’s a long wait for a session that might not fully deliver.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
