Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

A long-period swell is running through Bali today, with 18-second energy pushing solid surf onto the exposed reefs, so we headed inside Jimbaran Bay to Toro-Toro. The bay took most of the size and power out of it, leaving well-shaped lefts and rights with plenty of room to work. The rights ran long and forgiving, with slower sections that suited drawn-out cutbacks, while the lefts stood up steeper and faster, offering critical sections for turns and the odd chance to pull in.

When a swell like this lights up Uluwatu and Airport Right, those reefs quickly move beyond what most intermediates want to be surfing. Toro-Toro’s position inside the bay takes the edge off that energy, which is why it holds up as a reliable call across a wide range of swell sizes, and why it remains the camp’s favourite wave.

It was a lovely morning at Toro-Toro, with the swell finally backing off enough for a fun, relaxed session. Both lefts and rights were working — the lefts shorter and more intense, the rights running longer down the reef, with a few surfers linking multiple rights together for a long ride.

Dry season usually brings bigger, more powerful swell that suits heavier reefs like Uluwatu or Airport Right better than Toro-Toro. A quieter swell like today’s is an opportunity — the size drops into Toro-Toro’s sweet spot, and the wave gets to show the long, playful character that makes it the camp’s favourite.

A gap between swells and a break in the trade winds lined things up nicely at Toro-Toro this morning. With the size and push backed off, the reef settled into exactly the kind of wave it’s known for — easy, playful lefts and rights peeling off in both directions, with long, open walls to work with. The crew made the most of it, picking off wave after wave through a genuinely fun session.

Dry season in Bali usually brings bigger, more powerful swell and stronger wind, and Toro-Toro can get pushed around by conditions better suited to heavier reefs like Uluwatu or Airport Right. A quieter window like today is something of an opportunity — the size drops into Toro-Toro’s sweet spot, the wind lays off, and the wave gets to show off the long, playful character that makes it the surf camp’s favourite.

Toro-Toro turned on early today, though the wind filled in before sunrise had fully settled. Conditions stayed fun regardless — steep lefts offered up two or three solid turns apiece, while the rights kept running long for anyone who could make that first section. The crew traded waves steadily through the wind, keeping the stoke high all morning.

Toro-Toro remains the surf camp’s favourite wave for good reason. The reef sets up an easy takeoff with a deep channel on both sides for a quick paddle back, and even with some texture on the face today, the rights held their shape well down the line — proof this wave can still deliver when the wind isn’t cooperating.

Toro-Toro turned on at first light with clean, shoulder-to-head-high peaks breaking in both directions thanks to the powerful swell we have today in Bali. The kids were the standouts this morning, trading long rights and a few fun lefts while the early glass held, linking turns down the line as the sun rose over Jimbaran Bay. Consistent sets kept the lineup moving, and the deep channel made for an easy paddle back after every ride.

We’re now in peak dry season, but with lighter winds than usual for this time of year, conditions have stayed extra clean. Sessions like this are why Toro-Toro remains the surf camp’s favourite wave — easy takeoffs, playful walls, and rides that run longer than you expect.

A light southeast trade wind put some texture on the faces this morning, but there was still plenty to work with. Most sets came in at head high, with the occasional well-overhead pulse giving the lineup a bit more energy. The mid-wave section was doing cutbacks all morning — open faces and good pace off the takeoff — and the end section threw a short, punchy barrel over the reef when the timing was right. Tide was sitting high enough to keep things manageable.

Compared to the more exposed breaks on the Bukit, Airport Right was the sensible call today: rewarding for confident intermediates and advanced surfers willing to work for it.

We scored another beautiful session at Toro Toro today! The clean conditions offered up smooth, waist-to-shoulder-high peelers that were perfect for carving. The lineup was full of smiles as surfers laid down smooth turns and flew across the clean faces. It was the perfect canvas for dialling in technique and enjoying the long, open rides.

You can’t beat the vibe here. Everything from walking past traditional jukung boats to the scenic ride out to the reef sets the perfect tone. Catching beautifully groomed sets under a spectacular golden sky, with the iconic airport runway in the distance, made for an unforgettable time.
