The Lowdown
Alright Rusty, here’s the same outlook in feet and Fahrenheit.
We’re looking at a long, consistent run at The Bombie. The water temperature is 79°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The main story is a sustained southwest groundswell with clean, offshore winds hanging around for days.
Starting Friday the 11th with a 6ft SW groundswell, period a solid 16 seconds. Morning winds are side-offshore, turning full offshore from the SE at 12 mph by the afternoon. The wave energy is strong (1865). This is an advanced reef break, and at that size, it’s no place for beginners. The long period means proper sets with good gaps between them. Saturday the 12th drops to 5ft, still SW, period 14 seconds, with offshore winds all day. Clean and punchy.
Sunday the 13th starts building again: 6ft in the morning, 7ft by afternoon, with a very long 18-second period dropping to 17 seconds later. That’s serious groundswell. Wave energy is 2558 then 2642. Winds dead offshore. This is going to be world-class for the experienced crew. Monday the 14th holds at 6ft and 6ft with 16-second intervals. Offshore all day.
The pattern stays locked in through the week: clean, offshore winds and solid SW swell. By Tuesday the 22nd of September, it powers up to 8ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, with a 17-second period. Energy hits 3900. That’s very strong. This is big, demanding surf.
Then, Thursday the 25th of September is a special one: swell drops to 5ft, but the period stretches to an incredible 21 seconds. This is about as drawn-out and lined up as it gets. Energy is still huge at 2936. Finally, Saturday the 26th brings another pulse to 8ft–8ft at 18 seconds, with energy near 4000.
Crowds are a possibility here, so expect some company on the best days.
The standout days: Tuesday 22nd of September for its size and power (8ft, 17 secs, offshore) and Thursday 25th of September for that freakish 21-second period and glassy conditions. Both are expert-only territory.
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.
