Bali Surf Guiding Reports

Today offered decent conditions at the world-famous Sanur Reef. The surf sat in the shoulder to head-high range, with a few larger sets rolling through. A north wind provided enough offshore flow to keep the wave faces clean, though it picked up noticeably as the session progressed. Surfers found solid right-handers offering fun rides and multiple turn sections, provided they could link them up.

When conditions align, Sanur Reef gets truly epic. It is renowned for being incredibly heavy, hollow, and perfect. However, those legendary days remain rare. When they finally arrive, expect a competitive lineup, as the dedicated local crowd keeps the spot firmly locked down.

Fun surf today at Chicken Wings! Our crew caught the first boat out to this playful Nusa Dua right-hander. We scored mostly head-high sets with long, connecting sections for those finding the right line. A few chunky sets provided extra adrenaline and even a couple of quick barrels.

While the wind was a bit stronger than ideal, the conditions remained fun and glassy under the morning sun. Tomorrow, we’re watching for the first signs of the SE trade winds—the official kickoff to the dry season! We’re itching to get back to Uluwatu soon.

Our surfers headed to Pandawa this morning and scored clean, shoulder-high surf with a light west wind blowing side shore. The lefts were the standout—fast, running walls that demanded an early takeoff and rewarded commitment with a full-speed turn section down the line. Energy in the water stayed high, with plenty of waves and plenty of smiles. The occasional right popped up, though the wind cut those rides short.

When conditions aren’t lining up everywhere, local knowledge makes the call. Our guides timed it right, finding clean, quiet peaks before the peak crowd arrived. This exposed stretch near Bali’s southern tip picks up any available swell, which is why timing matters—too much size and the currents take over. This morning, it came together.

Another day of world-class waves at Uluwatu. The swell was firing, with clean, well-overhead sets running all the way to the big rock at the end of the Race Track. Light offshore wind and a light crowd made for ideal conditions. Advanced surfers were treated to long rides packed with barrel and turn sections—a classic Uluwatu day.

Tomorrow looks even bigger. Uluwatu will be for experts only, so if you’re unsure where to paddle out, join us. We’ll take you to the best break for your ability and make sure you get the most out of the conditions.

The Indian Ocean roared to life overnight with a mix of powerful swells delivering pumping waves. A bit of wind and rain this morning kept conditions shifting, but clean, heavy lefts rolled through nonetheless. After the rain cleared, the offshore wind picked up, and wave faces stayed clean throughout the session. Our advanced surfers scored some exhilarating rides, linking together strong backhand turns.

Uluwatu is the place to be when the swell hits. Known for handling size with ease, it’s a showcase of power and precision—best watched from a cliffside warung if you’re not paddling out yourself.

Expect excellent surfing conditions at Uluwatu almost every day between March and November.

Another excellent morning here in Bali. A solid swell delivered overhead waves across the island’s reefs and beaches, with light offshore tradewinds keeping conditions clean and well-organized. Uluwatu was in great form today, offering consistent sets and long, open faces—perfect for advanced surfers to lay into carves, race down the line, and tuck into a few barrels.

Expect continued excellent surf in the days ahead. The all-day offshores, reliable swells, and classic dry season weather Bali is known for have arrived. It’s the time of year we wait for. See you in the lineup.

You can expect excellent surfing conditions at Uluwatu almost ever day between March and November.

A fun morning of waves at Uluwatu’s Race Track! Our intermediate surfers enjoyed long lines and steady waves, with sets reaching head-high and smaller waves in the waist to shoulder-high range. The swell continued to ease from yesterday, alongside a full, fast-moving tide that kept the lineup shifting. The wind changed directions throughout the morning but conditions stayed clean.

This time of year is great for beginner and intermediate surfers in Bali. The powerful dry season swells have not yet fully arrived, the tradewind remains offshore and light, and there are still a few fewer people in the lineup.
