Nyang Nyang Surf Report and Spot Info

The rainy season is coming to an end slowly and we have already gotten a glimpse of what is about to come in the following weeks. Light offshore winds in the south of the Bukit were perfect for the mid-sized swell today. The right-hander was firing, shoulder-high to overhead sets were the norm, and every wave was shaped perfectly.

The crystal clear, blue water made this morning even better. This is what a typical day in Bali looks like. Perfect waves and sunny weather, followed by an ice-cold coconut and a delicious breakfast on the beach after the first surf session. Keep hanging out on the beach or exploring the beautiful area, there are many ways to spend the rest of the day before going for a sunset surf.

The western wind and rain early this morning gave us a good reason to start our session later today. When the sun came out and the weather calmed down again, it was time to go to the south side of the Bukit. Nyang-Nyang did not disappoint and even though we were unusually late, the conditions were still great.

The right-hander was particularly good, steep walls invited many of the experienced surfers to do quick snaps and tight turns. Some were lucky enough to find a small barrel at the inside section of the wave. This is just a great surf spot for practicing your small wave skills. A quick paddle out and the consistency of incoming sets make it easy to catch a lot of waves.

The south of the Bukit was the place to go today. Nyang-Nyang is the preferred choice for many surfers on smaller days. The low periodic swell was perfect for the exposed surf spot. The right-hander was peeling perfectly over the reef and many incoming sets made it easy for everyone to catch waves.

Intermediate or expert surfer, this spot has something for everyone. Even if you don’t surf, the beach and scenery are breathtaking. Crystal clear water and colorful fish await you in the line-up as well as perfectly shaped A-frames. The ice-cold coconut after the session is just the right thing to stay hydrated after a great morning surf.

A very strong westerly wind was keeping many surfers in bed early in the morning. Surprisingly, later the wind dropped and we found a nicely running right-hander in the south of the Bukit peninsula. A little wind chop does not harm here since the wave has enough power to push you past slower sections.

This spot is very popular on smaller days, because of the consistency of incoming sets. The paddle out is fairly easy and the line-up is close to the beach. The beautiful white sand beach and scenery give this spot a triple-A rating. Perfect for a quick and fun surf session to start your day.

The windy days are over and today was the beginning of a change in wind direction. With a light breeze continuing into the early afternoon, we decided to pay the south side of the Bukit a visit again. This surf spot favours smaller swells because of its exposed location. A perfectly right breaking wave and a small crowd was giving us many opportunities to practice turns and snaps. This peak is ultra consistent and you never have to wait long for the next set to come.

We are looking at the upcoming week with high expectations for Bali’s west side. The forecast predicts light winds throughout the week and medium swell size from the southwest. With an early low tide, you can get enough sleep and jump in the water when the tide is rising again, later in the morning.

The small days are almost over and a new bigger swell is finally on the horizon. Still, it hasn’t yet arrived and so we ventured down to Nyang Nyang where we had plenty of nice looking A-frames on offer. Consistently incoming sets made everyone getting enough rides to practice snaps and cut-backs.

Rainy season has it’s good sides since you don’t always need to wake up early to score clean waves. Very light winds and cloudy weather are ideal for surfing into the late mornings, avoiding the early bird crowd. The conditions late in the afternoon are often glassy and perfect for a sunset session.

Today is perhaps the smallest we have ever seen Uluwatu. Hardly a ripple which is very unusual. As it was hot and sunny we wanted to get wet anyway, so headed to the nearby break of Nyang Nyang on the south coast. As you can see from the photos, it was a great day for groms. Also some head high waves to be had and clean conditions, and this is a quality wave, so not too bad a day. Swell is forecast to stay small for another week, which is highly unsusal.

Some spots on west coast of Bali today were flat, and even Uluwatu was barely rideable. Fortunately we are strategically located to easily get to all 3 coasts of the Bukit and Nyang Nyang is just 10 minutes from us. The south coast of the Bukit was the place to be to get head high waves, with the occasional overhead set. Very light winds and clean conditions. There is a new road to Nyang Nyang that makes access much easier. As you can see from the drone photo there is also an old plane parked on the cliff by a Russian businessman. This has caused some local controversy.
