Shipwrecks (Nusa Lembongan) Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

We're lookin' at a solid run of surf at Shipwrecks (Nusa Lembongan) starting right away. It's a reef break, so you're gonna need your wits about you, especially with the sizes we've got comin'. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The action kicks off on Sunday the 16th with a clean 6.2 ft SSW groundswell (that's a very long 16-second period) and a light offshore breeze. The energy is pumping - a solid 1819 on the combined energy scale. This is proper, well-shaped stuff. The wind holds offshore through the afternoon, though it picks up a notch.

Monday the 17th drops a little in size to 4.3 ft, but it's still a clean, long-period SSW swell with gentle offshore winds. A great day for a longer session without the beast. The energy is moderate at 752.

Tuesday the 18th sees the swell pick back up to 5.6 ft with that same clean SSW pulse and a 16-second period. The wind is a moderate offshore, keepin' things clean. Wave energy is back up to a strong 1570.

Now, the real standout is Wednesday the 19th. We're talking a 6.6 ft to 7.2 ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period. That's very long-period, and combined with a light offshore breeze in the morning, it's gonna be an epic day for experienced surfers. The energy is immense at 2576. This is the pick of the first week.

Thursday the 20th is similar, with 7.5 ft to 7.2 ft SSW/SW swell and a 16-second period, still with a gentle offshore breeze. Another big day for the advanced crew.

The swell drops a little on Friday the 21st to 4.9 ft in the morning, but the afternoon brings a 6.9 ft, 17-second pulse. The wind is a moderate offshore all day.

Saturday the 22nd is still firing in the morning with 6.9 ft and offshore winds, but the afternoon gets a bit tricky with a cross-offshore wind. Still clean, but the wind direction is a little less ideal.

After that, the pattern continues with a mix of solid swells and cross-offshore winds. There's a gap of a few days where the wind is less ideal, but the swells keep coming, so it's not a dead period. The best of the second week looks like Sunday the 30th, with a 5.2 ft SW swell and a 19-second period in the morning, building to a 6.9 ft, 17-second swell on Monday the 31st with light winds. That's a long-range promise, so keep an eye on it.
