The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are lookin’ like a bit of a grind for Nyang-Nyang, if I’m bein’ straight with ya. We’ve got swell on the way, no doubt, but the wind’s gonna be the spoiler for a good stretch of it. It’s gonna be a patience game, not a hero session.
The first few days, starting Thursday the 10th, we got some decent size—around 7ft to 8ft out of the SSW with a solid 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, real energy behind it. But the wind is cross-onshore, and the wave comment says it’s marginal at best. It’s gonna be lumpy and hard to find a clean face. Not the way you wanna start.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th don’t get much better. We’re still seein’ chest-to-head high sets, but that wind stays cross-onshore, and the wave quality is just poor. The energy drops a bit, but it’s not the size that’s the issue, it’s the chop. It’s gonna be a fight out there.
Then we hit a bit of a dead patch from Sunday the 13th through to Tuesday the 15th. The swell is still there, but the conditions are just ugly. The wind’s up, the waves are messy, and the guidance is callin’ it poor. Not worth paddling out for a bruising. That’s a solid stretch of a few days where you’re better off doing something else.
Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th, things start to get a little bit more interesting. The wind drops a notch, and we get a slight improvement in the wave comment. Still cross-onshore and choppy, but it’s a bit more manageable. We’re lookin’ at 6ft to 6ft of SW swell with periods around 14-15 seconds. It’s not gonna be glassy, but there might be a few sneaky ones if you’re willing to work for it.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th sees another dip in size, down to 5ft, but the wind’s a bit lighter. It’s a trade-off. You get smaller waves but less chop. It’s still not a standout, just more of the same marginal stuff.
Now, here’s where it gets promising. On Tuesday the 22nd in the afternoon, the wind shifts to straight onshore, but the period jumps back up to 17 seconds. Still, that’s just the start. The real bright spot is Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th.
Wednesday the 23rd morning, we’ve got 5ft but with an 18-second period. That’s some seriously long-period groundswell, real clean energy. The wind is light, which is a huge plus. It’s still cross-on, but it’s a light breeze, not that moderate chop we’ve been dealing with. This is the window. Thursday the 24th morning is the best bet on the whole forecast. The wind drops to almost nothing, a slight air, and the swell is a solid 7ft out of the SSW at 15 seconds. The energy is moderate, but the clean conditions are going to make it feel way better than any of the mush we’ve had. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Later that Thursday afternoon the wind picks back up and ruins it.
So, if you can wait it out, Thursday the 24th is your day. It’s the only real clean window we get. Everything before that is just paying your dues. One thing about Nyang-Nyang, it’s a fairly consistent reef, but it doesn’t like that cross-onshore wind. It needs a bit of shelter or a calm day to show its true colors. And remember, this is a spot for the advanced crew; it’s a reef, and it can throw some weight. If you’re a beginner, this isn’t the place, especially with these solid swells.
Keep an eye on the sky, and be ready to move when that Thursday morning light wind shows up.

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.
