Sanur - Grand Hyatt Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Sanur - Grand Hyatt stretch.

Honestly, for the first ten days, it's a tough watch. The wind is a constant problem, hammering onshore from the ESE or SE pretty much every day. That's going to make it bumpy and messy. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. The swell energy is there, but it's all for nothing in these conditions.

Into the second week, things start to look a little more interesting. The wind is forecast to back off, and that's where the potential lies. The best bet of the whole run looks to be on Tuesday, 21st July. The morning session has a light breeze, making it the cleanest window we see. There's a solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, packing a decent amount of energy (1440). That's proper long-period groundswell, which on a reef setup like this, could shape up nicely. The best of the rest is the following day, Wednesday, 22nd July, with a light cross-onshore breeze and a 5ft SSW swell. It's not perfect, but it's a step up from the first week.

A couple of days later, on Friday, 24th July, the afternoon sees a 5ft SSW swell (16-second period) with a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy is building (1201), but it's a risk with thunderstorms possible. The Saturday morning, 25th July, also has a light onshore breeze and a 5ft SSW swell, which could be worth a look if you're itching for a paddle.

The standout window is that Tuesday morning, 21st July. The wind looks workable, the swell is there, and it's a long-period groundswell which is a treat for a reef. But it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it. The rest of the run is a case of picking the better of a messy bunch. Crowds are "often" here, so expect company.

Stay patient.
