Tide source and limits

Open-Meteo marine API, Météo-France SMOC, approximately 8 km resolution. Sea level includes tides, air pressure and other ocean effects. Coastal accuracy is limited. These are model predictions, not observed readings or water depth above chart datum. The reference is global mean sea level, not lowest astronomical tide.

High and low water are estimated from neighbouring hourly samples, without minute-level interpolation. The actual turning time may fall between samples. Flat turning periods are shown as a time range; missing data and forecast edges cannot create events.

Surfing at Selong Belanak Beach

Selong Belanak Beach is the area’s main sandy-bottom beginner surf beach, with schools and board rentals along the bay. Lessons run on suitable days across the year; swell, wind and tide still change the conditions.

Read the beginner surfing guide.

Planning a first surf lesson

A small offshore forecast does not tell you whether the whitewater is suitable for a first lesson. Ask an instructor to choose the time and part of the beach for your swimming confidence and experience.

Reading this forecast

Offshore waves and swell

Combined waves describe the significant offshore sea state, including swell and wind waves. Swell is shown separately with its period and source direction. Neither height is a prediction of the waves breaking on the beach.

Wind direction

Wind directions name where the wind comes from. An easterly wind (E) blows from east toward west; a northwesterly (NW) blows from northwest toward southeast. Offshore wind blows from land toward sea, so the favourable direction depends on the beach.

Conditions colour key

The hour colours compare the forecast wind and estimated tide with local and published guidance. Confidence is low while the rules are refined. Green means potentially good for surfers with suitable experience; swell and breaking waves need a local check. Grey means guidance, data or local wind exposure is unconfirmed. Mawi turns red at an offshore wave height of 5 m or above; lower heights are not a safety assurance.

The initial wind limits are provisional: nearly still means wind and gusts at most 3 kn; favourable offshore wind is at most 10 kn, with gusts at most 15 kn. Estimated low tide is the lower third of the range between neighbouring high and low water; mid tide is the middle third. Mawi also allows higher tide, especially for its right; light ESE–SE wind remains unconfirmed until checked locally. These starting limits need local calibration. Selong Belanak remains unconfirmed while its tide preference is pending.

A regional view of the coast

These three beaches share the same offshore and wind model grid cells, so their forecasts can match. Local shelter, seabed and shoreline shape can change conditions at the beach. Check conditions locally before heading into the water.

Explore the beach guide or find a local surf school.
