The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down. Tandjung-Lefts is the only break in the game, and it’s a consistent, advanced reef, pretty exposed to the swell. The water’s at 80°F, pretty much normal for this time of year.
The next 16 days are a mixed bag, and there’s no real standout that’s gonna have you calling in sick. The best of the bunch, and I’m being honest here, is Thursday afternoon the 27th of August. You’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the SSW with a long 20-second period, and the wind is cross, which is as good as it gets here. That long period groundswell will wrap around the reef nicely. The combined energy is strong at 1646, so there’s punch. It’s a bit marginal on the tide, but if you’re on it, it’ll be the cleanest wave of the run.
Friday the 28th has a bigger swell—8ft on Friday morning and 7ft in the afternoon—but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be choppy. That’s expert territory at that size, and the period is 16 seconds, so it’s a proper groundswell, but the wind will ruin it. The combined energy is massive: 3037 on Friday morning and 2498 in the afternoon. The power is there, but the quality is not.
After that, it’s a long run of poor surf. From Saturday the 29th to the end of the first week, the wind stays cross-onshore, and the swell drops, with heights between 4ft and 6ft from the SSW. The combined energy drops from 1383 down to around 500-600 by the 4th of September. It’s a dead zone, with a few marginal windows but nothing worth paddling out for.
The second week offers a bit of hope, but it’s not a sure thing. Around the 9th and 10th of September, there’s a bump: 6ft to 6ft from the SSW, with periods of 15-17 seconds, and combined energy around 1500-1755. The wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s choppy, but it’s a gentle breeze, so it won’t be as messy. This is a promising but less certain call, so keep an eye on it.
Bottom line: the only real standout is Thursday afternoon the 27th of August. If you can get out then, you’ll be in for a treat. The rest of the run is a grind.
