12th September 2025
Balangan and the East Coast turned on some solid surf today with sets pushing 6ft at Balangan. The conditions were stormy all day with heavy rain sweeping across Bali and flooding roads in many areas, but the offshore winds helped keep the surf clean. Only about 10 surfers braved the conditions at Balangan, making the lineup relatively quiet compared to usual. Despite the weather, there were still plenty of rideable walls rolling through for those willing to put up with the downpours.
Weather & Tides
Bali saw heavy rainfall throughout Friday with overcast skies and humid conditions. The temperature hovered around 27-28°C, feeling closer to 31°C in the thick air. Offshore winds from the southeast kept the surf well-groomed despite the stormy backdrop.
For the tides: Today (12 Sept) the last low tide into the evening was 0.2m at 6:36pm. Tomorrow (13 Sept): expect a morning low tide at 7:32am of 0.0m an afternoon high at 1:39pm of 1.6m and a end of day low at 7:02pm of 0.3m.
Surf Forecast
The surf forecast is calling for easing conditions midweek with wave heights backing off to around 1.5m through Thursday. Winds will stay mostly ESE, giving offshore mornings on the East Coast and favourable conditions for the Bukit reefs. The period is holding steady in the 14–16 second range, so expect some push when the sets roll in.
The current swell is holding strong with energy still pushing in from the south. The surf forecast is showing overhead conditions to continue through Saturday morning, particularly at the Bukit reefs and exposed east coast breaks. The swell period sits around 14–16 seconds, delivering plenty of power. Offshore winds are forecast to remain steady, but more rain is on the way, so prepare for wet sessions. Conditions should ease slightly into Sunday, though still offering plenty of fun surf across the island.
