The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Nyang-Nyang over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re patient.
The immediate forecast is frustrating. That beautiful, exposed SW-facing reef is getting hammered by a moderate cross-onshore breeze, and the ocean is a chopped-up mess. We’ve got a solid groundswell running, with a combined energy of 2840, but the wind is just ruining any hope of quality. For the first few days, from Friday 21st August right through to the end of the following week, it’s a grim run. Expect a lot of days where the score is a zero – the wind stays cross or cross-onshore, making it bumpy and difficult. There are a couple of mornings, like Saturday 22nd and Wednesday 26th, where it drops to a cross-shore, which might clean it up a little, but it’s still pretty ordinary. The swell holds in the 5ft to 8ft range, mostly from the SSW, with periods around 16 seconds – decent energy (energy readings like 2472 and 1663) but it’s just not linking up with the breeze.
You’ve got to wait until the week rolls over. The standout moment is shaping up for Friday the 4th of September. That morning we see a spike in the swell with 8ft from the SSW and a very long 20-second period. The combined energy hits a massive 6949, meaning there's serious power in the water. The wind is forecast to be a light breeze from the southeast, keeping it glassy with only small wind ripples. This is the one to circle. This is a proper groundswell of the highest order, and with that wind, Nyang-Nyang should be offering up some long, mechanical walls. It’s an advanced reef, so you need to know what you’re doing, but on that morning, it could be the best session of the month. The afternoon holds up well too, with 10ft waves and a gentle breeze.
Before that, Saturday 29th August morning also has a moment with a slight air and a cross-onshore wind, offering 7ft from the SSW. It’s a minor window, and the quality is still “marginal” at best.
The first week is a write-off. You’re looking at a full stretch of poor conditions from Friday 21st until at least Thursday 27th. The wind simply won’t cooperate. Then there's a glimmer on Friday 28th, when the wind finally goes *onshore* from the SSW at a slight 5 km/h – that’s a clean signal, but the swell jumps to 10ft and it’s still rated as marginal. For experts only that day.
So, keep your powder dry. The surf at Nyang-Nyang is going to be mostly a battle against the chop, but hold out for Friday morning, 4th September. That’s the real deal. Don’t expect much consistency; the crowds are sometimes a problem here, but on a day that good, you can bet they’ll be out.
Stay patient, stay stoked.
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.
