The Lowdown
Righto, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s heading our way.
First up, the water at Nyang-Nyang is sitting at 78°, which is a touch colder than normal for this time of year – about a degree and a half off, so you’ll feel that slight chill.
To be honest, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. From Sunday the 23rd right through to Wednesday the 26th, we’ve got a persistent cross-onshore breeze, moderate energy levels (around 2480 to 997), and the wave comment is consistently “poor”. The swell is there – 5ft to 7ft from the SSW – but it’s messy and choppy. Nothing worth paddling out for.
We hit a slightly better window on Thursday the 27th. The wind swings to a light onshore breeze from the SSE, 9 mph, and the swell drops to 4ft to 5ft. The period is long – 16 to 20 seconds – so it’s proper groundswell, but it’s still marginal. The combined energy jumps up to 2935 on Thursday afternoon, which is decent, but the call is still only marginal. It’s a reef break, so that long period stuff will hold up better than at a beach, but it’s not clean.
Now, Friday the 28th is where things get interesting. The swell bumps up to 10ft in the morning, still from the SSW, with a 16-second period. The combined energy is a very strong 4173. That’s a lot of water moving. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the SE at 9 mph, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen. This is expert territory – 10ft is too big for beginners. The condition is still “marginal” with a 3/10 score, but it’s the standout of the whole forecast. The optimum swell direction for Nyang-Nyang is SW, and we’re getting SSW, which is close enough. If you’re an advanced surfer and can handle the size, Friday morning is the pick.
Saturday the 29th drops back to 6ft, still with a gentle cross-onshore, but the energy drops to 1585. It’s a bit more manageable but still not clean.
From Sunday the 30th onward, it’s a mixed bag. There’s a gap of a few days where the quality drops again. The 31st has a 6ft with a long 18-second period and 2335 energy, but the wind is still cross-on. The first week of September sees a few pulses – 6ft to 7ft – but the wind never really gets clean. The best of that second week is probably Wednesday the 3rd, with 5ft and a 16-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s just not firing.
Crowds at Nyang-Nyang are “sometimes” an issue, but with this much chop and size, it’s unlikely to be packed.
So, overall: the standout is Friday the 28th of August, with a solid 10ft SSW groundswell and the most energy in the window. It’s for experts only. The rest of the period is a frustrating run of cross-onshore winds spoiling otherwise decent swells. Keep an eye on the forecast, because it tends not to stay poor for long around here.
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.
