Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Another fun day of surfing in the world’s best surfing holiday destination. The swell is hanging around in the head-high range, and the offshore wind is blowing stronger than you would expect for May. The tide was lower than preferable in the morning, so our group waited till after breakfast to start their session. The waves were lining up nicely across the ree,f with both fast and slow waves coming in. The faster waves offered space to pull into the barrel or race down the line, while the slower waves served up an excellent platform to work on your cutbacks and snaps.

As we work our way into the dry season, We will begin to see stronger tradewinds and bigger swell. See you out there!

Our run of fun surfing continues with another head-high day at Uluwatu. The surfers enjoyed a memorable day with offshore wind, clean surf conditions, and plenty of swell. The tide was in our preferred range from early morning, which ensured nice, long lines at the Race Track section of the wave. Plenty of waves were coming in at various sizes, allowing a surfer to select their preferred wave size.

Today was one of those days when there was something for everyone at one of the peaks that make up the lineup in Uluwatu. There were steeper and more powerful waves at the peak, fast waves at the Race Track, and less crowded waves up at Temples. See you out there!

Smaller surf this morning but plenty of great beginner waves to go around! Our beginners paddled out to Padang Padang very early, beating the sunshine and the crowds. The surf has dropped to the waist-high range, with a few bigger sets for those waiting farthest out in the lineup. The wind was light offshore, and the surface of the ocean was very clean. Small and easy days like today are perfect for correcting your technique, as the waves are moving slower than they normally would.

A developing surf can progress much faster if they focus on the fundamentals. Learning how to paddle efficiently, the functional surfing stance, and the basics of turning are key concepts that you will learn when you surf with us.

Fun waves this morning! The swell has continued to drop in size and consistency since yesterday however there were plenty of fun waves to be had. Our intermediate surfers paddled out to the Race Track at Uluwatu, which is famous for its long lines and consistent waves. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and ocean was very smooth and clear for the session. The waves were in the head-high range, and the conditions were very clean. The surfers who were quick to their feet were able to get some long rides.

Small wave days are still plenty of fun at Uluwatu. The waves still run beautifully down the reef, and they can continue for much longer than you would expect.

We have a fresh bump in swell this morning with an offshore wind and cooler water temps. The new, longer-period swell brought in fast-moving and powerful waves, which will test a surfer’s skill and confidence. Our intermediate group surfed at Dreamland at first light in head-high surf with a few larger sets. As always at Dreamland, the conditions and scenery were beautiful- turquoise water, a pretty sandy beach, and the sun rising over the cliff.

The steady trade wind and cooler water temps are typical dry season conditions. The month of May generally enjoys light and variable wind in the early morning and is before the water gets cold and the swells consistently large. See you in the lineup!

We are back at Uluwatu for a second session after surfing the long rides at Airport Left for our early session. There is still plenty of swell left in the water from yesterday’s big swell, but the waves are a much more manageable size. The offshore wind picked up to a moderate strength, which kept the waves open for long rides. The surf remained in the head-high to overhead range, with many smaller waves for the less experienced surfers to select from. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the session.

The trade wind has arrived for the season, which means you can expect offshore wind nearly daily through November. There will be no shortage of swell, and some incredible days of surfing coming up.

We have a lot of swell today with big waves breaking across the Island. Our intermediate surfers paddled out to Padang Padang, where they found overhead, fun waves, breaking in much safer conditions. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, which is the desired wind direction for optimal surfing conditions. The rights were breaking at a nice pace for developing control and confidence in the bigger surf. The lefts were breaking faster, and provided long rides for those able to trim or pump their boards for speed down the line.

We are in the full swing of dry season conditions now. The water is starting to get cooler, the wind is blowing relaibly offshore everyday, and the swells are getting larger.

Our beginner surfers enjoyed a fun session at Padang Padang this morning! The surfers braved an early morning rain shower, and were rewarded with excellent surf. The waves have dropped in size since yesterday, with the biggest of set waves around head-high. The wind was blowing lightly offshore. The waves were clean and fun, and were breaking in clean, long lines. The waves were moving at just the right pace for beginner surfing, with the rights moving at a slower pace than the lefts.

The surfers worked on learning to ride the waves in the functional stance, which is the key to surfing progression. Surfing with the functional stance is the key to making progress as a surfer. See you in the line-up!
