The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at The Bombie.
This is a heavy reef break, advanced only, exposed to the south-west. Water temps are about what you’d expect for this time of year.
The surf starts Friday, August 21st. Friday morning brings a 5ft SSW groundswell with a super long 18-second period, combined energy of 2588 (strong). Offshore breeze from the ESE keeps it clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Friday afternoon bumps up to 8ft, still a long 17-second period, and energy jumps to 3294. Winds stay offshore, and it’s clean. This is a standout session.
Saturday morning, August 22nd, sees a 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period, but the wind goes cross-off, so it’s a bit less clean. Saturday afternoon the wind swings back offshore, and the 7ft SSW swell with 16-second period is clean and excellent. Sunday the 23rd holds steady – 6ft SSW swells, 15-second periods, offshore winds both morning and afternoon, clean. Monday the 24th is similar: 6ft and 6ft SSW swells, offshore winds, and excellent conditions.
Tuesday the 25th has a little more cloud, but the wind is offshore, and the swell is 6ft, period 16 seconds. The morning is a bit marginal, but the afternoon cleans up. Wednesday the 26th sees the swell dropping to 5ft, period 14 seconds. The morning is cross-off, the afternoon is offshore and clean. Energy is moderate.
Thursday the 27th is a small lull, with a 4ft SW swell in the morning, but a 3ft SSW swell in the afternoon with a 19-second period – that’s a very long, clean groundswell, and gentle offshore winds.
Now, Friday, August 28th. Friday morning is a standout: 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, combined energy of 3486. The wind is a light 5 km/h cross-off, and it’s clean. That’s big, powerful – experts only. Friday afternoon is similar size, but the wind goes a bit more cross-off.
The weekend of the 29th holds 6ft SSW swells, 15-second period, with good offshore winds. Clean. Sunday the 30th has a bit of rain in the morning, but the swell is still solid at 6ft, 13-second period, and the wind is offshore.
Monday the 31st sees the swell drop to 3ft, but the period is 18 seconds – very long. Tuesday, September 1st, is a big call: 7ft and 7ft SW swells, 18-second period, combined energy over 3000. Offshore winds, clean and excellent. This is a standout day.
Wednesday, September 2nd, holds 7ft SW swells, 16-second period, with offshore winds. Thursday the 3rd is a bit smaller, 6ft and 6ft, but still clean.
And then Friday, September 4th – this is the one. The morning: 8ft SSW swell, 20-second period, combined energy of 6169. The afternoon: 10ft SSW swell, 19-second period, energy of 6569. That’s exceptional, huge, heavy. The wind is offshore, light to gentle. Experts only. Saturday, September 5th, still has 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, with good winds.
The Bombie is a consistent reef that doesn’t break often, so when it’s on, it’s on. Expect crowds are possible given the quality. This whole run is a gift for the brave.
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.
