Sanur - Grand Hyatt Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for this part of the coast. We’ve got one spot on the radar, and it’s a tricky one. We’re looking at Sanur - Grand Hyatt, a reef setup that’s rated for advanced surfers only. This place is inconsistent, and honestly, the next 16 days look like a real battle to get anything decent.

The water temp is sitting at 80°, which is basically bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first few days are a write-off. Right from the start, Wednesday the 2nd of September, we’ve got onshore winds howling at 16 mph, turning the ocean into a mess. The swell is there, but the conditions are poor. Don’t bother paddling out.

We then hit a long stretch where the wind eases a bit but stays cross-onshore. From Friday the 4th all the way through to the 12th, we’re looking at marginal surf at best. The swell sticks around with a solid SSW direction and a long period between 14 and 16 seconds, carrying some moderate to strong energy. The size fluctuates from 3 ft up to 8 ft at times, but the cross-onshore wind keeps it choppy and messy. Not the kind of clean face you want on a reef. For a spot that rarely breaks well, this is a tough run.

The best chance you’ll get, and I’m only calling it a *standout* because the rest is so ordinary, falls on the 13th of September. Sunday morning and afternoon both show a 6 ft SSW swell with a long 17-second period, and the wind finally turns offshore. It’s still a moderate breeze, so not glassy, but it’s the cleanest setup of the whole forecast. This is the one window where the reef might show its teeth for the advanced crew. Keep in mind it’s inconsistent and crowds are likely here.

After that, the last few days of the window go back to onshore and cross-onshore winds with smaller swell, so it fizzles out. For a break that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
