The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us. We’ve only got one spot on the radar for this entire stretch, and it’s a solid one if you’ve got the skills.
The standout for the whole period is The Bombie. This is a serious reef break, so it's strictly for the advanced crew. The main action kicks off on Tuesday the 18th of August and keeps pumping through with hardly a break. We’re looking at a long run of solid, groundswell energy with moderate offshore winds that are going to keep things clean. Water temps are sitting at 78°, which is just a touch cooler than normal for this time of year, but still comfortable.
The pick of the bunch has to be Wednesday the 19th of August. The swell builds to a powerful 8ft to 8ft from the SSW, with a long, drawn-out period of 17 to 18 seconds. The combined energy is massive, clocking in at 3575 to 4125, and with those clean offshore ESE winds, this is going to be a full-on, world-class session for those who can handle it. Thursday afternoon the 20th is another beauty with 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and 3131 energy under offshore winds. Just keep in mind, this spot can draw a crowd, and it's only for experts—over 8ft things get real heavy.
The size backs off a touch into the weekend and following week, but the quality holds. From Friday the 21st through to Monday the 24th, we’ve got consistent 6ft to 8ft SSW swell with offshore winds. A solid run for advanced surfers. The energy stays in the moderate to strong range, hovering between 1629 and 3289.
There’s a slight dip in size around the 26th and 27th of August, with the swell dropping to 5ft and 5ft and periods shortening a bit, but still clean and fun under offshore breeze. The energy drops below 1000 briefly, but it picks right back up.
From the 28th of August right through to the 2nd of September, we get another solid push. Mornings and afternoons consistently offer 6ft to 7ft SSW groundswell, with clean offshore winds. The energy builds back up strongly, particularly on the 2nd of September, hitting 2260. If you miss the early peak, this late run is a very promising second act.
So, the bottom line: one break, two weeks, and plenty of proper waves for those with the nerve. The early part of the first week is the absolute standout—don't sleep on it.
Rusty.

Information about the The Bombie Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Bombie provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Bombie can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Bombie 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 (The Bombie) 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 The Bombie 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.
The Bombie is 14 km (9 miles) from the city of Kuta. If you plan a holiday in The Bukit - Bali, look for hotels and other accommodation in Kuta. Kuta has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
