The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’m looking at the outlook for Nyang-Nyang. This is a reef break that needs a solid SW groundswell and clean conditions to really fire, and to be honest, the next couple of weeks are going to test your patience. The first nine days or so are a write-off, with strong cross-onshore winds and messy, choppy surf. There’s a massive gap with no real recommendation until the very end of the month, so don’t bother checking the cam every morning just yet.
We kick off on Wednesday the 19th of August with a chunky 8ft SW swell at 18 seconds, but the 12 mph ESE cross-on wind has the place looking like a washing machine. Wave energy is strong at (4184), but it’s poor surf conditions. That same pattern locks in for the next few days – solid swell, but wind-ruined. By Friday the 21st, the swell drops to 6ft and the wind swings cross-shore, but it’s still marginal and not worth the paddle.
The only real standout in this whole window is Friday morning the 28th of August. We’ve got a solid 8ft SW swell, 16-second period, and glassy conditions with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the SW – that’s offshore and clean. The wave energy is strong at (3158), and the score says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is a proper window of opportunity, but the break is for advanced crew only at that size, and crowds are possible here. The water temp is 78°, which is pretty much average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, it fades back into cross-on winds and mediocre surf for the rest of the run. There’s a pulse of energy on Monday the 31st of August with a 5ft SW swell at a very long 21 seconds, kicking wave energy up to (3192), but the ESE cross-on wind spoils it again. A couple of days into September bring similar stories – size but no quality. If you’re keen and patient, lock in the 28th of August morning and hope it holds.

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.
