The Lowdown
Right. Rusty here, looking over the next 16 days for the Nyang-Nyang reef. Straight up, it’s a frustrating outlook for a spot that can handle serious swell. We’ve got a near-constant stream of solid, long-period SSW groundswell, but the wind is going to be the main character here, and it’s not playing nice.
This is an exposed reef break, and it picks up the full force of the swell, but the ESE winds are a persistent cross or cross-onshore. That’s going to leave things with a lot of chop and texture, not the clean lines this wave needs. The water temperature is sitting at 79°F, which is pretty much right where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Let’s walk through it. The first several days, from Sunday the 2nd right through the first week, are plagued by these moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds. There's plenty of energy in the water—we’re talking combined swell energy in the thousands (2612 for Sunday morning) from a clean SSW direction—but with that wind, it’s just messy. The swell holds up over 5ft and climbs to 8ft by Friday the 7th, but with scores that low, it’s not worth paddling out for anyone but the most desperate.
There’s a bit of a shift around Sunday the 2nd morning. The wind is cross, not fully onshore, and with that 17-second period groundswell, there are some very clean, powerful sets. The combined energy is strong (2612), making it a high-energy session, but the cross-chop makes it tricky. It’s the closest to a recommendation we get, but it’s marginal.
Following that, from Sunday afternoon through to Wednesday the 12th, conditions are honestly poor. The wind stays cross-on or onshore, the swell remains solid, and the chop just kills it. For a couple of days around the 10th and 11th, the swell gets really solid—up to 10ft on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning, with combined energy hitting over 5000 (5153 on Monday afternoon). That’s a lot of water moving, but the onshore wind makes it fat, bumpy, and honestly more suited to a tow-in or kite session than a clean paddle-in.
The only other glimmer is on Friday the 14th morning. The wind goes cross again, the swell is a manageable 6ft from the SSW with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is 1361. It’s nothing huge, but it’s the cleanest-looking window in the whole run. Still not a standout.
The last few days, from the 15th onward, see the swell dropping off, but the wind stays fresh and onshore, so you're just looking at small, lumpy surf. The 16th and 17th have the swell down to 4ft or 4ft, but the wind is still a factor.
The Best On Offer:
If I’m being honest, there isn’t a classic, all-time day in this window. The standout moment is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. The swell is solid at 7ft from the SSW, that 17-second period is proper groundswell, and the wind is cross, not fully onshore. It’s going to be powerful with nice long lulls between sets, but you’ll be dealing with some cross-chop. It’s the best of a rough bunch.
The other one to keep an eye on is Monday the 10th of August, in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 10ft, the period is 17 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 5153. The wind is cross-on, so it’s not perfect, but for an advanced crew that can handle heavy, rough conditions, there will be some big, raw waves. This isn’t for beginners—over 8ft is expert territory.
For the crowds at Nyang-Nyang, it’s a spot that *sometimes* gets busy. With conditions being mostly poor, likely fewer people, so if you’re willing to gamble on the marginal windows, you might get it quiet.
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.
