Bali Surf Guiding Reports

We’re starting the new year with a session at Uluwatu—our favorite spot. This morning, the wet season wind eased, allowing light offshore breezes over the Uluwatu area. Waves ranged from shoulder to head high, with clean, organized sets rolling in under smooth sea conditions. Surfers made the most of the opportunity to enjoy a few fun waves at this iconic break at a manageable size.

By keeping an eye on conditions this time of year, you can find yourself surfing Bali’s premier breaks with only a handful of others in the lineup.

Our intermediate surfers paddled out to Geger Left this morning, where they found shoulder-high waves and fun conditions. The wind was light offshore, with a bit of texture left in the lineup from some early morning weather. The surfers picked off some fun left peaks, which were breaking at an easy pace with nicely formed tapered walls. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed surfing a new break.

The three peaks that makeup Geger Left are a great choice when the wind and rain come from the west. The is a very consistent wave in the wet season, and the wind blows offshore nearly every morning.

Dreamland delivered another excellent session this morning with clean, overhead waves breaking in well-organized lefts and rights. Light, variable winds and smooth ocean conditions set the stage for our intermediate surfers to challenge themselves and build confidence in the overhead surf. Dreamland’s A-frame peaks provide a forgiving setup, as the waves break with a slower, manageable pace down the line, even as the size increases.

For surfers looking to step up from Padang Padang, Dreamland is an ideal next spot. It hosts a variety of wave options catering to those ready to advance their skills while still maintaining a user-friendly experience.

Another excellent morning in surfing paradise! A fresh swell has brought pumping surf to Bali’s reefs and beaches. With light and variable winds, surfers spread out all across the island. Uluwatu was the highlight today, offering consistent head-high sets with a light offshore wind and long, clean lines. Our intermediate surfers found smaller in-between waves, while the advanced surfers chased the overhead sets.

We are approaching that time of year when we begin to shift the breaks we surf. Soon, we will swap Uluwatu with Chicken Wings and Geger Left, and Padang Padang with Blackstone. As always in Bali, it is forever offshore somewhere.

Fun waves this morning! Our intermediate surfers paddled out to the Race Track at Uluwatu, famous for its long lines and consistent waves. The swell has continued to drop in size and consistency since yesterday. The biggest set waves were in the head-high range, with the rest being waist to shoulder-high. The session began with a light offshore wind, before shifting to coming from the south.

We are in the perfect time of year for beginner and intermediate surfing in Bali. The swells drop to an easier size for improving on the basics. The winds are light and variable, allowing us to surf at all of our favourite breaks.

Uluwatu served up fun waves this morning! Early risers enjoyed near-empty lineups, with our crew catching waves at first light. Despite the fading swell, plenty of waves rolled through, including a few head-high sets. Conditions were clean, and a light offshore breeze held up the wave faces just a little longer, allowing for two or three turns before reaching a heavy end section that most surfers were advised to steer clear of.

Surf is expected to be smaller on Monday and Tuesday, but starting Wednesday, a solid swell is forecasted to bring consistent waves for the week ahead.

It was really fun surfing this morning for our beginner group! Shifting winds brought some texture to the lineup, but the rights were lining up nicely! Thanks to a pulsing swell, the surfers were able to choose their preferred size of wave to take off on. From overhead waves for the most enthusiastic of the crew, down to waist-high for the surfers just looking for a mellow ride. The waves moved at a great pace for the surfers just learning to engage their rail and get moving down the line.

The tradewind has broken down, giving way to light and variable winds. This is the time of year for surfing all over the island.

Fun waves at Dreamland this morning! A fresh new swell had arrived, delivering clean overhead lefts and rights. We had a great tide for the session, and the wind was blowing steadily offshore. The intermediates got some great waves at the A-frame, while the beginners stuck to the outside left. At the A-frame, the slower, softer rights were great for the surfers working on popping up quicker and with more control of the surfboard. The surfers with a bit more skill and experience enjoyed the faster lefts.

The waves at Dreamland are a great next step after a surfer feels confident at Padang Padang. There are several fun options which keep things to a user-friendly level.
