The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got my eyes on the water for you.
We’re looking at a solid run of surf coming up at Shipwrecks (Nusa Lembongan) – a consistent, protected reef that knows how to hold a swell. The water is sitting at 81°, which is right around what you’d expect for this time of year, so no surprises there. The overall pattern is a slow build into some proper SSW groundswell, with clean conditions holding for most of the forecast period.
The real standout is Friday the 28th of August. We’ve got a solid 7ft SSW swell rolling in with a 16-second period, pushing serious energy (2667). That’s proper groundswell, and with the wind staying cross-off and clean, you’re looking at excellent, powerful lines. This one is for the experienced crew – it’s got some punch.
The next best is Tuesday the 1st of September. Another strong SSW pulse, 6ft at 18 seconds, with moderate offshore winds. The energy is up there (2032), and those long-period waves will be stacking up nicely. Again, this is for the advanced surfers.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th are still very good, with 6ft and 4ft SSW swells, light to moderate offshore winds, and clean conditions. The energy drops a bit but it’s still fun, especially for the intermediate crew.
There’s a lull around the 4th and 5th of September where the swell dips and the wind turns cross-off, but it picks up again by the 9th with another 5ft SSW swell and a 17-second period, bringing that long-period power back. The last few days of the forecast, from the 10th onward, have more 6ft SSW swell with light winds – promising but we’re getting into the second week, so keep an eye on it.
Overall, the best windows are Friday the 28th and Tuesday the 1st. Don’t sleep on the 9th either, especially if you like a longer period. There’s a bit of a gap around the 4th, but it’s only a few days. This reef handles the swell really well, so you’re in for a treat.
Rusty.
