Ability Level: Advanced

Our intermediate and advanced groups joined together for their first session of lessons and surf guiding this morning where they were just about first in the water at Uluwatu.

Although the tide was a little low to start, there were some great waves to be had in the chest to head high range as the tide pushed in.

With the benefit of the low-season crowds, our group had one section of Uluwatu’s reef to themselves and all caught loads of waves.

After a breakfast pitstop back at camp, the group will surf their second session of the day at Balangan whilst our beginner group will surf both sessions at Padang Padang.

Very light offshore wind and a medium swell meant that Uluwatu was the location of choice for both our intermediate and advanced groups at dawn this morning.

Conditions were fantastic for both surf lessons and guiding with waves breaking along all sections of the reef and ranging from waist to head high. Long peeling walls and the occasional barrel sesion were enjoyed by all before everyone headed back to camp for breakfast.

This morning all groups jumped on the boat next to Kedonganan pier in Jimbaran in search of waves at Bali’s Airport reefs. Our intermediate group stopped first for their surf lessons at Toro Toro where the waves were slightly smaller but glassy and perfectly formed. The advanced group continued to the other side of the airport runway for surf guiding at Airport Lefts where the waves were bigger but not as clean.

With both groups being joined at their respective spots by only a couple of other surfers, everybody got to enjoy some of the uncrowded waves that Bali’s wet season is known for.

Our intermediate and advanced surfers jumped on the boat at Jimbaran this morning at dawn and headed out around the Ngurah Rai International Airport runway to surf at Airport Lefts.

Light offshore winds kept the conditions nice and clean and the rolling chest-high waves were perfect for the range of surfing abilities across the group.

After breakfast, all of the surfers at the camp joined up to surf their second session at Uluwatu before heading back to the surf camp for a well-earned rest.

Our intermediate and advanced groups were back in action at Uluwatu again this morning for their first session of surf guiding and Group lessons.

Waves were breaking in the waist to shoulder-high range and the wind was light — resulting in some nice clean waves for our surfers to practice their turns on.

Elsewhere at the surf camp this morning our Beginners group enjoyed their surf lessons at Padang padang this morning. Fun and chill. It was a great surfing session.

Our intermediate and advanced surf guiding group headed to Uluwatu at dawn today for their first session of the day where the sun was shining, the wind was nice and light and relatively thin crowds.

It’s a common misconception that surf lessons are mainly for beginners but the positional advice and coaching is hugely valuable at breaks like Uluwatu where the benefit of local knowlege equals a much higher wave count.

Swell height was similar to yesterday with waves ranging from chest high to overhead on the larger sets and everybody caught plenty of waves — especially those having lessons and benefiting from the guidance of their expert instructor.

A few days of favourable wind means that we’re back to breaks more commonly surfed in the dry season and that started this morning with a boat trip to Temple for our advanced surf guiding group.

Waves were glassy and breaking in the chest to overhead range — mainly lefts but with a few rights on offer too.

As well as guiding, some guests this morning were taking advantage of private lessons for that extra level of attention and our resident in-water photographer was on hand to capture all the action.

Advanced groups were back in action at Geger Left again this morning for their first session of surf guiding and group/private lessons. As the name suggests, it was mainly left-handers breaking but there were some great rights coming through occasionally too.The waves are shoulder high to head high or overhead high on sets. Swell is similar than yesterday and conditions are clean with light offshore wind.  Perfect opportunity for advanced group to practice different surf maneuvers.
