Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

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.

What a morning at Geger Left! The ocean delivered beautifully lined-up lefts offering long, fast walls perfect for performance surfing—we’re talking high-speed top turns, deep bottom turns, and solid cracks off the lip. While the lefts were the main event, regular footers managed to snag some fun rights in the mix.

Despite a touch of side-shore wind, the waves held their shape impressively with clean faces throughout the session. The lineup vibe was completely relaxed, with everyone trading waves and soaking up the conditions. Just a classic, fun session for everyone involved.

Toro-Toro turned on this morning with clean, head-high sets and long rides. The first section had some push before easing into long, playful walls much to everyone’s delight. Sets came through steadily, keeping the lineup moving and the mood relaxed.

The wave held its shape through the tide, offering smooth, flowing rides that wrapped down the reef. With clear skies and a calm breeze, it was an ideal morning to enjoy Toro-Toro’s long rides and the unique setting of surfing as planes passed overhead.

October 15th brought a powerful big wave day to Uluwatu, Bali. Pro surfer Rio Waida, his brother Ryuki, and several others charged massive sets at Outside Corner, displaying serious commitment and control. Up at the Bombie, conditions turned critical with huge barrels and heavy closeouts testing every surfer in the lineup. Strong offshore winds added to the challenge, creating both opportunity and risk. With the dry season coming to an end, just one more big wave day remains on the forecast before we begin to settle into the quiet season.

Toro-Toro delivered another enjoyable session today. The swell has picked up, but the reef offers protection that kept the waves manageable and fun. Despite stronger winds, the conditions stayed consistent, providing plenty of opportunities for everyone to catch waves and work on technique.

Long, mellow rides down the reef made it a productive morning for building confidence and improving skills. Toro-Toro remains a reliable option for beginner and intermediate surfers, showing why Bali offers such a range of spots to match the day’s conditions and give surfers the chance to progress.

The surfers headed out early to Toro-Toro, where shoulder-to-head-high waves greeted them at sunrise. On the right, steeper takeoffs led into long, mellow walls that ran farther than expected. As the tide filled in, some surfers shifted to Airport Right, where the new swell began to pulse and waves broke with more speed and power over the reef. Conditions stayed clean throughout the session.

Surfing the airport reefs is always a unique experience—from the boat ride to the lineup to planes taking off and landing nearby. The waves build quickly and run long down the reef’s angled contour.

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.
