Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Surf heights at Uluwatu have backed off quite a bit since yesterday. It was a slower morning out there, with the bulk of the waves sitting in the head-high range and just a few larger sets breaking the lull. There was a slight bump to the lineup, but a light offshore wind did its job to keep the faces nicely groomed.

When the sets did show up, they were lining up well. A few waves offered some proper tubes, and instructor Jerry managed to find his way into a couple of good ones. The rest of the crew had plenty to work with too, picking off some long, down-the-line walls that opened up perfectly for a few solid turn sections. Overall, just a really fun day in the water.

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 morning at Uluwatu in the surfing paradise of Bali! The waves were shoulder-high range with occasional bigger sets rolling through. The session started beautifully clean with light offshore winds and fast, lined-up lefts. Andrea and Jerry surfed near the peak, finding smooth, tapered lefts perfect for cruising. Meanwhile, Randy and Nour positioned themselves right at the Racetrack in search of those long, winding rides with multiple turns and barrel sections that the racetrack is famous for.

Everyone snagged great waves and enjoyed the stellar lineup conditions. However, quick timing was absolutely essential today. The tide was moving fast, making it crucial to time your paddle-out perfectly before too much water flooded the shallow reef.

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.

The wet season is out in full force today with heavy rain and erratic winds, but the Bali magic remains: it’s always offshore somewhere.

That “somewhere” today was Nusa Dua. Over at Blackstone, the conditions were surprisingly clean despite the gray skies. Waves were consistently shoulder-high on the sets, offering beautifully shaped lefts and rights. While the rights were the crowd favorite, one standout woman was absolutely ripping, putting on a clinic for everyone in the lineup.

Even on a soggy day, Bali delivers. Compared to most places, a “bad” day here is still a win.
