The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid run of surf coming up at Shipwrecks (Nusa Lembongan), a sheltered reef that loves a good SW groundswell. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so just your usual boardshorts or a thin spring suit.
The action kicks off Monday morning, August 31st, with a clean 3.6 ft SW swell rolling in. The wind is offshore, keeping things glassy. The wave energy is moderate (974). This is a nice, manageable start.
The real standout window begins Tuesday, September 1st. The swell pushes up to 5.6 ft from the SSW with offshore winds, and the energy jumps to strong (1682). This is where it gets good. Wednesday the 2nd holds similar quality in the morning, though the afternoon gets a bit cross-off.
We then have a slight dip on Thursday and Friday, with the swell dropping back to 3.6 ft and the energy fading to moderate (463). The wind remains cross-off, so it's still surfable, but not the pick of the week.
The second half of the forecast cranks back up. Saturday the 5th is promising, with a clean 5.6 ft SSW swell in the afternoon and energy surging back to strong (1274). But the true standouts are Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th of September. Monday morning brings 5.9 ft SSW swell with offshore winds and strong energy (1396). Tuesday the 8th has a morning of 6.2 ft SSW swell, offshore winds, and very strong energy (2133). But Wednesday the 9th is the absolute peak: a 5.9 ft SSW swell with a very long 21-second period, light cross-off winds, and extreme energy (5248). This will be a proper groundswell – perfect for the reef, with long, clean lines. Expect it to be a bit more powerful and with longer gaps between sets.
The surf stays excellent through the second week, with an 8.2 ft SSW swell on the 10th for experienced surfers only, and plenty of 6.6 ft+ days with clean conditions right through to the 15th. Just a heads-up, the 10th afternoon has a bit of cross-shore wind, making it choppier, but the mornings are all clean.
This is a fantastic run. If you're an advanced surfer, the 9th of September is the one to circle. Get out there.
