The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the pipe for the next couple of weeks.

First up, the only spot on the menu is Tandjung-Lefts, an advanced-level reef break. Right now the water temp is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Honestly, the next few days are a bit of a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’ve got a solid amount of swell energy pumping in – Sunday morning the combined energy is hitting 1817 (moderate to strong), with 8ft of SE swell at 9 seconds. But the wind is a cross-onshore mess, blowing at 16 mph from the ESE, making it choppy and poor. That trend sticks through Monday with even stronger cross-onshore wind at 22 mph and lumpy waves. The surf quality just isn't there through the end of July.

We do see a shift in the swell direction starting Tuesday the 28th, swinging to a longer-period SSW groundswell (16 seconds), but the swell height drops to just 3ft and the wind stays cross-onshore. Combined energy is in the 600-700 range (weak). This pattern of small, long-period SSW swell with persistent cross-onshore winds basically runs through the first few days of August. The energy picks up into the 1000s and 1400s by late July/early August, but the conditions are always rated as "poor" or "marginal" due to the wind.

The standout window, if you can call it that, gets interesting around Thursday the 6th of August. The morning sees combined energy jump to 2290 (strong) with 7ft SSW swell at a long 16-second period. The really interesting part? For one moment on Thursday morning, the wind is listed as "on" from the ESE at 13 mph – a rare offshore for this spot. That would make it glassy and clean. The swell direction from the SSW matches the optimum direction for Tandjung-Lefts (S), which is great, and the period is long, giving good shape for a reef. However, the score is still marginal, so don't get your hopes too high. If those winds hold, it could be the one session to go for, though expect some company as crowds are possible here sometimes and it’s a consistent break.

Following that, we get a string of days from Friday the 7th through Sunday the 9th with 6ft to 7ft SSW swell, periods of 15-16 seconds, and combined energy in the 1200-2300 range (strong). The winds stay gentle to moderate cross-onshore, so it's not perfect, but the energy is there and the conditions are rated as "marginal" rather than "poor." It’s the best run of the whole forecast. The afternoon of Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th get a score of 2, which is the highest we see, but still not great.

Overall, the first week is a bust. The only real glimmer is the offshore wind on Thursday the 6th of August. After that, we have a couple of decent, if not clean, days. For an advanced reef, these bigger swells (over 7ft) are fine for those with experience. It’s a pretty tough run, but forecasts can change.

Rusty.

Information about the Tandjung-Lefts Surf forecast

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

Tandjung-Lefts is 7 km (4 miles) from Denpasar. If you plan a holiday in Sanur - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Denpasar. Denpasar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
