Bali Surf Guiding Reports

Excellent surf at Uluwatu this morning. The swell is picking up and the conditions were exactly what advanced surfers come here for. The tide was in a great range, the wind was offshore, and the conditions very clean. The most skillfull of the surfers were able to clock in some tube time at either of the two barrelling sections at The Racetrack. The rest of our group enjoyed long, fast rides down the reef. There were barrel sections, turn sections, overhead set waves, and smaller waves in between- something for every surfer keen on getting some excellent waves and improving their skills.

The surf will pick up in size as the day progresses. Get out there!

Another day in Paradise at the world’s most consistent wave! We had much smaller surf this morning than the previous few days. The weather was mixed, but the surf conditions remained clean. The biggest set waves were in the head-high range, with the rest of the waves being waist to shoulder high. Despite the smaller size, the reef served up some excellent, long rides- great for intermediate level surfers still finding their balance on the faster waves. The surfers all got some great waves, with big smiles to show for it.

The Indian Ocean has been very active this season, and we certainly do not mind a small wave day here or there.

More stunning surf conditions at Uluwatu this morning! The surf is still well-overhead in size with pristine conditions and just a touch of offshore wind. The waves were lining up beautifully at both The Peak and The Racetrack. The Peak was breaking much easier today compared to yesterday, with manageable take-off’s followed by fast walls for advanced surfers. Over at The Racetrack, the waves were less intense due to the higher tide, and featured long rides on the set waves.

From barrels at The Peak for advanced surfers to long lines at The Racetrack for intermediate surfers, Today’s session at Uluwatu certainly did not disappoint. We have another swell arriving tomorrow. See you in the lineup.

Another day of exceptional surfing conditions at Uluwatu! The surf has dropped in size and consistency since yesterday, but there is still lots of energy in the ocean. Over at The Peak, the well-overhead set waves were coming in fast and powerful with intense take-offs, followed by chunky barrel sections. Down at The Racetrack, the waves were feeling the effects of the higher tide, coming in smaller and less frequent than the waves at The Peak. As expected during the dry season, the wind was light offshore, and the conditions were very clean.

Uluwatu is the world’s most consistently world-class wave- day in and day out during the dry season. Come and join us!

It was an absolutely beautiful morning at Balangan! Our intermediate surfers left for the scenic left-hand reef before sunrise, finding a very smooth lineup with a light offshore breeze. The waves were in the head-high range, with a few larger sets of waves left over from the recent powerful swell. The waves all had a nice taper to them, which is conducive for learning to identify when to speed up to make the section and, when you have enough time to complete a turn. Everyone got plenty of waves and great photos!

We have another powerful swell arriving on Monday and Tuesday. Expect well-overhead surf, with the most exposed breaks being for expert surfers only.

Pumping surf this morning! Our intermediate surfers tested their courage with well-overhead set waves breaking at the idyllic Dreamland. The surfers sat on the A-frame peak, waiting for the set waves to come in. The lefts offered a faster ride with a steep takeoff, while the right offered a mellow ride with a slopey wall to it. The lefts were longer, especially for those able to connect the sections. The rights were easier to ride but much shorter. As always this time of year, the wind was offshore and the conditions were clean.

This swell is peaking this afternoon, leaving us with smaller surf tomorrow and Tuesday morning. Tuesday evening, another very large swell will arrive.

Today is a big wave day in Bali with a very large swell lighting up the Bukit Peninsula, making the breaks in the Uluwatu area for experts only. This morning, our surfers headed out to Jimbaran’s more tucked away breaks, where they enjoyed much more user-friendly waves.

Out at Uluwatu, the big wave chargers were putting on a real show, a testament to their skill and courage. After waiting for the tide to drop enough mid-morning, the big wave chargers paddled out to macking, several times overhead Uluwatu bombs. The surfers were carving up some beautiful lines, much to the delight of the onlookers on the cliff.

A fresh, new swell is here, and the surf is getting bigger by the hour. Our beginner and intermediate surfers set off for Padang Padang in search of fun, long lefts and rights. The weather was mixed, with a shifting wind and cloud cover, yet the surf conditions remained clean. The waves were in the head-high range. The rights offered a better ride, delivering beautiful tapered lines- perfect for finding the functional stance. The rights broke at a faster pace, however, reformed into a friendly soft wave, great for those just learning the feel of how to turn the board.

Tomorrow and Wednesday will see large surf. Stay safe and know your limits!
