The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with a look at what's coming down the line for Nyang-Nyang. Let's be straight with you, it's a tough read for the next couple of weeks.
The main issue is the wind. It's locked in from the southeast, which is a pesky cross-onshore for this spot. Right off the bat, everything is looking bumpy, and it's a real shame because there's a lot of energy in the water. The swell is almost always a solid SSW groundswell, with periods hanging around 15 to 17 seconds, which is prime for this reef. But that wind just chops it all up.
We kick off on Thursday, the 13th of August, with a big 10ft SSW swell carrying a massive 17-second period. The combined energy reading is a whopping 4133, which is seriously strong. But the wind is 12 mph from the SE, cross-onshore, creating poor, choppy conditions. Water temp is 78°, which is about average for this time of year, so the rubber is fine, but the surface is a mess.
The whole first week is a write-off. Friday the 14th sees a drop to 7ft, but still that same cross-on breeze. The swell energy is still up there (2759), but the wind is a killer. The pattern continues right through the weekend into the middle of the following week. The swell is always there, but it's just not clean. We get a few moments where the wind eases to a gentle breeze, like Saturday morning the 16th, with a 8ft SSW swell, but it's still a cross-onshore, so you're looking at a fairly choppy surface. The scores are low across the board.
The only real glimmer of hope comes much later, on Tuesday the 25th of August. In the morning, we get a 6ft SSW swell from the south-southwest, but the wind finally shifts to a true cross-shore at 9 mph. The energy is still moderate (2485), and the report says "gentle cross-shore with slight cross-chop". That's the best we're going to see. It's not perfect, but it's the cleanest window in the entire 16-day outlook. It's a long way off, so don't hold your breath, but it's the one to watch.
After that, Wednesday the 26th of August morning sees the biggest surge of the whole period, with a 10ft SSW swell and a combined energy of 5469, but the wind swings back to a cross-onshore, so it's just a massive, bumpy mess for the experts only.
Other than that one window on the 25th, it's a straight-up frustrating run. The swell is there, the power is there, but that wind is just mean. It's the kind of setup that would be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, to be honest. For now, we wait.
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.
