Nyang Nyang

Balinse love to use the same name twice for a location. Nyang Nyang Beach is a perfect destination for those seeking a more tranquil and less crowded beach experience compared to some of the more well-known beaches in Bali.

Nyang Nyang is a powerful right hander that works best on a high tide. It is the go to spot when Uluwatu is too small as it is always 1 foot bigger. Nyang Nyang is a quality wave that gives a long ride but at mid-tide it breaks too fast.

There is a headland at Nyang Nyang that gives some protection from westerly winds which are predominant in the wet season.

When you are at the top of the cliff looking down at Nyang Nyang it is like looking down from an aeroplane. If you are looking for something novel, there is an aeroplane perched on the cliffs that serves as a restaurant.

Nyang Nyang is the highes cliffs on the whole Bukit. It used to be an arduous climb up the steps after the surf but there is now a road that you can ride a motorbike all the way to the beach. There is now also a warung to change your clothes and enjoy a cold coconut.

When To Surf Here

The best time to surf Bali’s South Coast is when the swell is very small and the winds are light. The winds are generally lightest in March-April and October-November, when the seasons are chaning from wet to dry / dry to wet.

July and August are the worst months because the trade winds are very strong and it is likely to be windy even at first light. January is usually too windy for all the breaks exept for Pandawa which holds a west wind surprisingly well.
