The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the next stretch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. We’re looking at Nyang-Nyang, a real slabby reef out there, and for the first week and a half, the wind is just not our friend. It’s coming in cross-onshore from the ESE or SE, blowing anywhere from 9 to 19 mph, and it’s got the surface all chopped up and lumpy. There’s swell, no doubt, but it’s ugly. The water is sitting at 80°, which is bang on normal for this time of year, so that part’s fine.
Starting from Wednesday the 29th, we’ve got a solid SSW swell pushing through, around 4ft with a period of 14 seconds, but that cross-onshore wind is absolutely wrecking it. The combined energy is moderate at 1038, but it’s just messy. That carries on through Thursday and Friday – the swell bumps up a little, the period gets longer (17 seconds on Friday, which is proper groundswell), but the wind stays cross-on. It’s not good. By Friday afternoon the swell hits 6ft and the energy jumps to 1855, but the conditions are only marginal at best.
Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd offer a slight improvement. The wind drops to a gentle breeze on Saturday (9 mph) and the swell holds around 5-5ft. Still cross-onshore though, so it’s only fair-to-choppy. Sunday morning sees a bit more size – 7ft from the SSW with a 17-second period and the wind goes cross-shore for a moment, giving us a shot at something rideable. The energy is strong at 2612, but it’s still a cross-chop. If you’re desperate, that Sunday morning window might be your best bet, but it’s not a standout.
From Monday the 3rd onward, it’s more of the same: cross-onshore wind, moderate swell, and poor-to-marginal conditions. The swell climbs steadily, hitting 8ft by Friday the 7th, and the energy gets into the 3000s and 4000s – that’s strong wave energy, but the wind just won’t give us a break. This is a reef break, so with that long-period groundswell (16-17 seconds) it could have some proper lines, but the chop is killing it.
Then we get to Tuesday the 11th. Now listen, this one gets interesting, but not for the right reasons. The afternoon shows a 10ft SSW swell with a 20-second period – that’s very long period, very powerful. The energy is massive at 10995, which is extreme. But the wind is still cross-onshore at 16 mph, and the comment is “poor surf conditions.” That’s a lot of water moving around, and for experts only. Then Wednesday the 12th pushes it even further – 13ft swell, 18-second period, energy in the 11,000s. That is serious, heavy ocean. Beginners, stay well away. Honestly, with that much wind and size, this setup starts looking more like a kite session than a paddle session.
So the truth is, over this whole 16-day window, there’s no true standout. The wind is the enemy here. It’s consistently cross-onshore, and that’s just not what you want at a reef like Nyang-Nyang. If I had to pick the least worst, I’d say Sunday morning the 2nd of August – 7ft SSW swell, 17 seconds, cross-shore wind, moderate energy (2612). You might snag a few, but it’s not going to be clean. The rest is a write-off for paddle surfing. Hang in there, forecasts change, but right now it’s a flogging.

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.
