Beginner Surfing in Bali

The waves were amazing this morning at Padang Padang! Long, clean right-handers and only a few other people out. It wasn’t big but the sets had enough power and due to the mid-tide, the waves were breaking in a perfect shape.

Today and tomorrow, the swell stays pretty much the same size, but from Thursday, we expect the new swell to arrive and Uluwatu and Padang Padang will be on fire. Other spots like Toro Toro or Airport Rights will be our go-to places for our advanced groups and Jimbaran for our beginner and intermediate surfers. No matter if small or big waves, low or high tide, we also find the right spot for your surfing level.

Padang Padang, our home spot, is hugely popular among surfers in Bali. Not only because of the amazing waves but also because of its beach and flair. Beginner to advanced surfers will find great waves here and can have the sessions of their lives.

When the waves are small, beginner and intermediate surfers will have the best time while when it is big, the best surfers of Bali and the world travel to this spot to surf the infamous Balinese pipeline. Today, our intermediate group had a great session out there. Many waves were ridden and lots of progress was made. The conditions will be good throughout the day and everyone is excited to go out again after lunch.

A sunny day and everywhere you look are happy people with big smiles on their faces. For a good reason, the waves were great this morning! We had so much fun at Padang Padang that hardly anybody wanted to stop and have a break.

Luckily, the conditions this time of year are perfect in the afternoon and we will enjoy another session soon. With the bigger swell, many other surf spots work again. Uluwatu is pumping and spots like Balangan and Dreamland are head-high and a great option for our advanced surfers. Baby Padang is just the beginning, from here you can surf your way up to all the other great surf spots Bali has to offer.

Another great session at Padang Padang for our beginner group! The waves were super fun the whole morning and everyone got long rides. The size of the swell was just right to feel the power of the waves and speed after popping up on the board.

With the right technique and turns, we were able to surf the waves until they disappeared close to the beach. These conditions are perfect to practice turning and trimming on the board. It is important to know so you can get the most out of your ride and enjoy the waves as long as possible. In the afternoon, the conditions will be very similar, but in the evening the new swell should arrive and we are excited for tomorrow!

Padang Padang was great this morning for our beginner group. The shoulder-high waves were breaking perfectly and catching them was easy due to the gently breaking peaks. On waves like this, with the help of our surf instructors, progress can be made immediately.

Taking it forward step by step is important to achieve your goals, whatever they might be. In surfing, it is especially so. Knowing the limits of yourself and your surfing ability can be tough in the beginning. This is something you need to find out in small steps in order to have fun out there. Our home spot is perfect to test your limits and challenge yourself in a safe environment.

The huge swell has fully arrived overnight and most of the surf spots on the Bukit are way too big to surf today. We decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner and intermediate groups and it was great! Everyone was happy out there and surfed a lot of waves.

It is a very suitable beach to learn how to surf, but there are not always waves. Only when big swells arrive, this surf spot comes to life, and when it does shoulder-high sets are rolling in very consistently. This makes it a great spot to catch many waves and ride them as long as possible. The slow-breaking peaks are perfect to enjoy the ride and work on your surfing technique.

Another great day started with a fun surf session at Padang Padang. The mellow waves were perfectly breaking and easy to ride. On days like today, progression can be made with every wave. The more time you spend on the surfboard and in the water, the better you will get.

Being patient is not easy, especially in surfing when you see all the good waves coming. But taking your time to choose that one perfect wave will pay off! One good wave is all it takes to get you smiling for the rest of the day. Here at Padang Padang, you can be sure to get more than just one wave, enough to make you smile until your next surfing holiday.

The swell turned out to be a bit bigger than expected today at our home spot Padang Padang. A more than welcomed surprise because the waves were just perfect! Left or right-handers, no matter what you prefer, you can get it here. A dream for every intermediate surfer.

It is no wonder that this spot is so popular among many surfers. The consistency and quality of the waves are second to none. There are many other great surf spots in Bali, but this is for sure one of the best to catch the first green waves and start turning left or right. It is important to be able to concentrate on the waves and your surfing technique to make good progress. Surfing in a safe environment like at Padang Padang helps you do that.
