The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk about Nyang-Nyang, a reef break that needs the wind to cooperate. This is an advanced-only spot, and it’s fairly consistent, but we’re in for a tough stretch.
The big picture is a lot of solid SSW groundswell, but the wind is stuck on the cross-on. The water temperature is 26°, which is normal for the season.
Thursday 30th July starts it off. The swell is 1.5m from the SSW with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is 1380 (moderate). But with the wind from the ESE at 30 km/h, it’s lumpy and poor. The whole day is a washout.
Friday 31st July isn’t any better. The swell is 1.4m to 1.7m, the period stretches to 17 seconds, and the energy is higher, but the wind from the SE at 20 km/h keeps it choppy. Another two sessions of poor surf.
Saturday 1st August and Sunday 2nd August are marginal at best. The swell is 1.5m to 2.1m, and the energy Sunday is 2612 (strong), but that cross-on wind from the ESE at 20 km/h ruins it. For a wave that size, you need it clean.
The first week is a total write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10 days of poor conditions from Thursday 30th July through the weekend of 9th-10th August. The wind just doesn’t let up.
Thursday 6th August and Friday 7th August bring the biggest swell so far, with 2.4m from the SSW and periods of 16-17 seconds. The energy is strong (3380 and 2817). But the wind is 25-30 km/h from the ESE/SE. It’s lumpy and only for experts.
Monday 10th August morning is the best of a bad lot. There’s 2.5m SSW swell, 15 seconds, and energy of 2861. The wind is still cross-on at 20 km/h, but it’s called marginal instead of poor. Not clean, but it’s the only window.
The big one comes Thursday 14th August. We’re talking a massive 3.5m SSW swell, 17 seconds, and combined energy of 7758 (very strong). That’s serious power. But the wind is still cross-on at 25 km/h. At that size, it’s experts only, and the wind will make it a wild ride.
So, the honest truth is, there’s no good surf in the 16-day window. The consistency is there, and the swell is coming, but the quality is shot. Nyang-Nyang is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay poor forever, but this run is a blank. With that cross-on wind and strong swell, it might be more of a kiteboarding spot than a paddle break.
Keep an eye on it, forecasts can change.

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.
