The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
We’ve got a solid stretch of surf on tap for the Bombie, with a strong, consistent SSW groundswell and mostly offshore winds keeping things clean. This is a serious reef slab, not one for the faint of heart, and the size we’ve got on the way is firmly in the experienced surfer territory.
The water is sitting at roughly 79°, which is about normal for this time of year.
The action starts Saturday morning, the 5th, with a solid 6ft SSW swell rolling in at a long 16-second period, and a moderate offshore breeze keeping the face clean. The energy is strong, and it’s game on from the get-go. That swell stays up around 7ft on Sunday, and while the period backs off to 14 seconds on Monday, the surf is still pumping with plenty of push.
The standout window is Wednesday the 9th. The swell jumps to a solid 8ft with a 16-second period, and the wind drops to a gentle offshore breeze, making for the cleanest conditions of the run so far. The energy is cranking. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
The following days keep the consistency high, with waves hanging around the 7ft to 7ft range, all under light to moderate offshore winds. Saturday the 13th afternoon shapes up as another standout, with the swell pushing back up to 8ft and a long 17-second period, combined with a gentle offshore breeze. That’s got real power behind it.
Into the second week, the surf gets a little smaller but never goes flat. We’re looking at plenty of 5ft to 6ft days, still with offshore winds, but the energy drops back into the moderate range. It’ll still be worth paddling out, but you’ll need to pick your moments.
Later in the week, the 18th shows another pulse of energy, with surf back up to 7ft and a 17-second period, so that looks like one of the better ones for that later stretch. The 20th also has a nice bump in the afternoon, going back up to 7ft with a 16-second period and a gentle offshore.
So, mark down the 9th and the 13th as your top days. The whole period is solid, but those are the standouts. Just remember, this one is for experts only – when it’s overhead and a half, you’d better know what you’re doing.
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.
