Table - best surf conditions forecast for Sanur Reef over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna be straight with you – for the next couple of weeks, Sanur Reef is in a bit of a funk. The wind is pretty much always coming from the east-southeast or southeast, which puts it square on the nose or cross-on for this sheltered reef, and that means the surface is almost always chopped up or lumpy. You’ll see some solid swell pulsing in from the south-southwest, but it’s just not coming together with clean conditions. For a spot that’s already inconsistent and only for advanced crew, it’s a tough ask.
We start off Thursday the 9th of July with a 6ft SSW swell, period at 15 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. But with a 16 mph cross-on wind, it’s just poor out there. Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are similar stories: 6ft and 5ft SSW swell, but the wind is either on or cross-on, and the comment is “poor surf conditions” across the board. Saturday afternoon drops to 3ft, and Sunday the 12th is down to 3ft with weak energy. The whole first week is a write-off for a decent paddle.
The second week, from Monday the 14th, we see a bit more size again – 6ft to 6ft SSW swell, period 17 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up. But again, the wind is cross-on from the southeast at 12 to 16 mph, keeping it lumpy and chopped. The water temp is about 82°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold while you’re getting frustrated.
The only faint glimmer I can see is way out on Thursday the 23rd of July and Friday the 24th. Thursday afternoon shows a 4ft SSW swell, 18-second period, with a “marginal” call – wind is a lighter 9 mph cross-on, so it’s still a bit bumpy but might be just about rideable. Friday the 24th morning is the best of a bad lot: 5ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and the wind drops to a light 6 mph cross-on. That’s as close to clean as we’re gonna get, with moderate energy. It’s a long-range hope, but honestly, for a reef that’s inconsistent and needs a southerly swell and offshore west wind, this is a rough patch.
No standout sessions here. For the advanced surfer who knows the reef, maybe Friday the 24th morning is worth a look for a few waves, but don’t expect much. If you’re a beginner, stay well away – that 6ft stuff is too big for you, and the conditions are sloppy anyway.
Rusty.

Information about the Sanur Reef Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Sanur Reef provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Sanur Reef can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Sanur Reef 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 (Sanur Reef) 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 Sanur Reef 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.
