The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the next week and a half is a bit of a grind. We’ve got some serious size rolling in at Nyang-Nyang (reef), but the wind is locked in from the southeast, blowing cross-on, and it’s making a mess of things. The water’s sitting at 79°— pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
The swell is all from the SSW, with a very long period groundswell (17 seconds) and a massive amount of energy behind it (3528). But the problem is that cross-on wind and the short period between sets. It’s clean as a whistle on the charts, but the surface is just choppy and blown out. That’s the story from Friday the 7th right through the weekend.
We get a bit of a reprieve Monday the 10th morning. The wind drops to a gentle breeze (9 mph) and the swell period stretches to 19 seconds, which is seriously long. The energy is even stronger (4327), but the combo of that long period and a cross-on wind at a beach/reef setup means the waves are going to be walled up and tricky. It’s not a total loss, but it’s more of a "check the tide and see if you get lucky" session.
The best of the bunch, and the only real standout I see, is Saturday, August 15th in the afternoon. For the first time in two weeks, the wind swings to a true offshore (SSE, 9 mph). The swell is a solid 6 ft from the SSW with a 16-second period, and the energy is pumping (3033). For a reef break like Nyang-Nyang, that offshore wind will clean it right up. It’s the only window in the whole 16-day stretch where the stars align. It’s still a little ways out, so keep your fingers crossed that the forecast holds.
After that, we’re back into the cross-on slop. The swell size keeps fluctuating between 7 ft and 10 ft through the rest of the second week, but the wind just doesn’t cooperate. It’s a lot of water moving around, but it’s not going to be much fun for paddle surfing. For a stretch of about 10 days there’s hardly a single recommendation worth getting excited about. If you’re a kite surfer, that consistent cross-on breeze and solid swell might look interesting, but for a surfer? It’s a waiting game.
Best bet: Saturday 15th afternoon. Get on it.
Stay frothy,
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.
