Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

After a few days of wild weather and the complete silence of Nyepi, we are back at it with good conditions and sunshine! Our surfers were keen to get out there this morning as the conditions had cleaned up beautifully and the wind had turned offshore! There were plenty of waves thanks to a combination of swells in the water. The surf was in the head-high + range with a few larger set waves. The waves were breaking nice and slow- at the perfect pace for our beginner surfers to find their balance.

During Nyepi, we went over core techniques at the surf camp such as paddling, the pop-up, and the functional stance for developing surfers, so our beginners were prepared for the day ahead.

Advanced Surf Guiding in Canggu

Pumping surf in Canggu this morning! The swell has picked up in size and consistency, providing overhead surf with a few larger set waves. The wind was very light offshore, and the waves were clean and glassy. There were plenty of advanced surfers throwing impressive top turns and snaps, with a few hail marry barrel attempts. In between the biggest of set waves, there were many small waves for the less aggressive surfers. It was a beautiful morning with plenty of clean waves breaking both left and right.

As always in Canggu, there was plenty activity on the beach. Today is Melasti on the Balinese calendar, where locals march in procession to a moving water source which signifies a cleansing of the earth.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate and advanced surfers enjoyed an empty lineup at Uluwatu this morning! The swell had dropped in size since yesterday but there were plenty of head-high + lines coming in. When the surfers paddled out at first light, there was a bit of texture in the lineup caused by an overnight breeze. It didn’t take long for the conditions to clean up; however, by that time, the rest of the surfers had gone either to Nusa Dua or back to bed, leaving just our crew in the lineup. The tide was in the perfect range during the session, which allowed for long and fast lines that the racetrack is known for.

It’s not easy to get an empty lineup these days, but today was our day.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Fun beginner surfing conditions this morning at the beautiful Padang Padang Beach! The surf has picked up in size since yesterday, with the waves breaking up to shoulder-high in height. The wind from the west is blowing stronger today than yesterday, however the conditions were still clean. The tide was moving quickly today, which exposed the fresh surfers to the ever-changing nature of the ocean. The surfers all had a great time.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance from the pop-up, which is an essential step towards progressing beyond a beginner level. Once you have developed the ability to ride from the top of the wave in the functional stance, a new level of control and speed becomes available to you.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

While waiting for the tide to come up, our advanced and intermediate surfers decided that the waves were clean enough at Uluwatu for a fun session. We made the right call as they scored fun head-head + waves with a light crowd! The westerly direction of the swell meant Nusa Dua would have been smaller. There was a light onshore breeze but the wave faces were plenty clean for good turn sections and long rides. Everyone enjoyed the jump in the surf and the unexpected clean conditions.

We have quick access to a wide range of waves from our surf camp in Padang Padang. Between the waves at the airport, Ulwuatu, the south coast, and Nusa Dua, there is always something for everyone.

Intermediate Surf Lessons at Medewi
★★

There were fun waves at the cruisey left-hand pointbreak at Medewi this morning. This wave is a few hours’ drive along the coast from Padang Padang, and it offers long and slow lefts over a rocky bottom. The surf was breaking in the shoulder-high range with no wind. The waves were breaking about half-way down the point however the conditions were smooth and the session was relaxed.

Medewi is an excellent intermediate surfers’ wave as it breaks in a long and slow manner that helps a surfer identify when they need to return to the power source (the pocket) of the wave. Too slow to return to the power source and you will be off the back of the wave.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Wonderful beginner surf conditions this morning! We have an overcast day today with mixed weather conditions, which is great news for those who know where and when to surf. Our beginner surfers enjoyed an easy, relaxed day in the line-up, with a light crowd and fun conditions. The surface of the ocean was very smooth and calm, with just a touch of wind from the west. The waves were breaking at about waist-high, which is a good size for just learning to stand up.

These are great conditions for learning to surf. The waves were coming in at a slow pace, and all broke in a consistent manner. Slow and consistent surf is the perfect platform to improve your surfing.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Balangan

Small wave surfing today in Bali. Our beginner surfers chose to surf at Balangan in easy, beginner-friendly conditions. The weather was excellent, and the crowds were light. The waves were in the shoulder-high range and were breaking nicely left across the reef. The wind was blowing slightly onshore from the southwest, but the waves were still fun. The surfers worked on getting to their feet quickly with their feet placed correctly over the centre line of the surfboard.

This time of year, you can often get uncrowded surf at waves around the surf camp. Most people head straight to Nusa Dua or other parts of the island without realizing there are fun waves just on our doorstep. See you out there!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Excellent quiet season surf this morning! An early morning rain shower had cleaned up the surf perfectly, just in time for a morning session at Uluwatu. The surf was in the head-high range with a few bigger set waves. The wind was light and variable, blowing from several directions throughout the session. The swell was rolling onto the reef in nicely organized lines. The waves broke in long but fast lines down the reef.

Our intermediate surfers worked on riding along the face of the wave, which requires that next step of control of your surfboard to get moving down the line at a swift pace. The surfers had a great time in the user-friendly surf, which is just what they came here for.
