Bali Surf Lesson Reports

The swell backed off just enough for our crew to enjoy the beginner-friendly waves at Baby Padang. The wind was more favorable for this location than it has been over the last few days. Today, our guides got our surfers into the best waves of the session.

Anyone who has surfed with us knows that our surf instructors hold priority in the lineup. This means that our surfers get the best waves of the day. Baby Padang is a surf camp favorite as it is located very close to us and on most days it is excellent for novice surfers. Additionally. there is an absolutely beautiful White sand beach with a great scene around sunset.

When start learning how to surf, the conditions of the waves and tides are very important. It should be a safe and fun environment where you can fully concentrate on surfing and enjoy the sport. Only then progress can be made effectively.

Padang Padang beach offers a great learning environment. It is safe for beginner surfers, as well as intermediates and it is possible to focus fully on the waves and surfing technique. Of course, in the beginning, there are many other things to think about, like other surfers in the water or the current which takes you out to the waves. Once you get used to that and how to handle the surfboard safely, nothing can stop you from catching some amazing waves.

A new, bigger swell has arrived today and Padang Padang was great to surf for our beginner and intermediate groups. Shoulder-high, clean sets came in consistently and were breaking perfectly at this beautiful surf spot. With no wind at all this morning, the conditions were glassy and everyone enjoyed the session.

With the rainy season coming closer, we expect the swells to be smaller than the last couple of months. This is not a bad sign, it only means that other surf spots will work better and that we can explore more of the Island. The east side of Bali is a great place to look for perfect right-handers. Often we are greeted by silky smooth conditions and only a handful of other surfers in the line-up. This is what everyone is looking forward to and is excited about.

Surfing is a great way to make use of a rainy morning. Often, the waves are perfect when it’s raining and fewer people share the line-up.

It was the case today, heavy rain was a good enough reason for many people to stay in bed. But not for us! We took full advantage of the empty line-up and caught some amazing waves. This made everyone happy despite the cloudy weather and we are motivated to go for another session later today.

Padang Padang, again was great today! The swell has faded and shoulder-high waves came through consistently. Perfect for our beginner and intermediate groups who just started to catch green waves and doing first turns.

With surf conditions like this, making progress is much easier and much more fun. Having a consistent training ground is immensely important to improve your surfing skills. Bali suits all skill levels and even in one week, it is possible to step up your surfing game dramatically. Besides that, the fun factor of catching amazing waves make learning and progressing so much better. It motivates you to keep going and keep improving.

What a great session this morning! To be fair, the weather wasn’t the best, but the waves made up for it. Fewer people in the water also helped to catch more waves and we could enjoy the surf session even more.

When spending a week in Bali, surfing every day two times, the progress you make is huge. Due to the consistent surf conditions year round and the perfect learning environment, how fast you can improve your surfing skills is only a matter of dedication. There is always a good wave and a suitable surf spot for the day’s swell size and tides. Finding those spots can be tricky but with the help and local knowledge of our instructors, it is no issue at all!

Heavy rain in the morning was a good reason for a lot of people to stay in bed today. But not for us! We got up early and had a great session at Dreamland just before the rain came. Because of that, there was hardly anyone else out in the line-up and we had most of the waves for ourselves.

The dry season is coming to an end and the wind direction is slowly changing. This means, the east side of the Bukit will be great soon and we are looking forward to surfing spots like Geger left and Nikko again. With glassy, wind-still conditions in the morning, there are countless surf breaks to choose from. It is time to explore and find some more uncrowded waves!

In Bali, waking up early in the morning is a common practice for most people. Especially surfers don’t want to miss the perfect waves and want to start the day with a great feeling. Having a fun surf session first thing will get you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

During this time of year, in the south of Bali, the conditions are perfect all day long. What matters most is the tides and swell size. If you wanted to, you could surf twelve hours a day. We usually do two surf sessions a day, one early morning and another one in the afternoon or whenever the conditions are best. This way you get the most out of your stay with us and can practice as much as possible without getting worn out.
