The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one to swallow. The entire 16-day window is a battle against the wind. We’ve got one spot on the radar, Nyang-Nyang, a reef break that’s usually a good bet, but the conditions are just not playing ball for the most part. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is dead average for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're getting chopped up.
It kicks off on Tuesday, July 28th, and honestly, it’s a write-off right from the start. We’ve got a fresh cross-onshore breeze blowing at 22 to 19 mph, making for lumpy, poor surf on a 7 ft SE swell. The combined energy is weak (918), so there’s nothing to get excited about. That pattern sticks around for the rest of the week. Wednesday and Thursday, July 29th and 30th, are the same story – fresh cross-onshore wind, messy conditions. The swell does build from the SSW with long periods of 14 to 15 seconds, and the energy climbs into the moderate range (1047 to 1615), but the wind just ruins it. It’s all rated as poor surf.
Friday, August 1st, the wind drops to a moderate breeze, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. The swell is up to 5 ft with a very long period of 17 seconds from the SSW, and the energy is strong (1709). The forecast calls it "marginal" – a glimmer of hope, but not enough to call it good. Saturday and Sunday, August 2nd and 3rd, are similar: moderate cross-onshore breezes, 5 ft to 7 ft SSW swells, and strong energy readings (1493 to 1735). Still, the wind keeps it from being clean.
Now, there’s a moment on Sunday, August 2nd, in the morning where the wind switches to just a cross-shore, and the swell is a solid 7 ft from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds, pushing energy into the very strong range (2612). This is the best it’s going to get all week – a "marginal" tag, but it’s the closest to rideable we’ll see. But then the afternoon goes right back to poor. Monday, August 4th, through Wednesday, August 6th, is the same old tune: moderate cross-onshore winds, 6 ft to 6 ft swells, and moderate to strong energy (1126 to 1822). Still just "poor" or "marginal" at best.
We hit a bit of a bump again on Thursday, August 7th, in the morning. The wind goes cross-shore again, the swell is 7 ft from the SSW with a 17-second period, and the energy is very strong (2688). Again, it’s "marginal." But the same afternoon, and all of Friday, August 8th, the wind swings back to cross-onshore, this time fresh and lumpy, with swell jumping to 8 ft. That’s expert territory, and with those conditions, it’s not worth it.
The second week is a real kicker. The swell gets big – 12 ft on Sunday, August 10th, with periods of 18 seconds and massive energy (6935). But the wind is still a moderate cross-onshore, making it poor. The swell hangs around 8 ft to 10 ft for the rest of the window, all the way through Wednesday, August 13th, with energy readings in the very strong range (3007 to 4343). The wind doesn’t let up – it’s a constant moderate cross-onshore breeze. The setup is too big and messy for paddle surfing; this is looking more like a kite session if anything.
The bottom line: Nyang-Nyang is a consistent reef, but the wind is the enemy here. The only real standouts are those Sunday, August 2nd, and Thursday, August 7th, mornings when the wind goes cross-shore. That’s your best bet, but it’s still only "marginal." For the rest of it, you’re better off waiting for the next swell window. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a rough run.
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.
