Beginner Surfing in Bali

As the swell is full blowing around the island, our beginner group  headed to Jimbaran where waves are very friendly.

Waves were breaking knee to waist high.

Our beginner group had a blast as seen on their faces, a great way to start the new year 2021.

We at Padang Padang Surf Camp wishes everyone a happy new year and Bali return to normal. Let’s fight this pandemic with smiles on our face whilst we out dancing on waves. Cheers to 2021

Our red and purple group headed to Geger Left again for a morning session.

The tide was still too low when we arrived so we waited for it to fill up and it was worth it.

The waves were mostly waist to shoulder high but some of the sets were up to head high.  For the first 30 minutes the wind was on the channel and the right elevator were breaking, but as it got later the waves got better and cleaner.

As today is mother’s day in Indonesia, we encourage you guys who’s reading this to go out and surf with your momma’s and have fun!

Stay with us for two weeks or more and we’ll pay for your visa so check out our limited New Year availability or get in contact for more information.

Geger left also known as pura geger beach was a go to this morning since all the other spots in the bukit peninsula were howling with wind.

Waves were knee to waist high with fresh offshore wind, very suitable for intermediate and beginner’s surfing lesson.

It’s expected that tomorrow will have the same conditions as today.

After an early surf check at Greenbowl this morning where the wind was causing the conditions to be a little too bumpy, we returned to Uluwatu where there were two things you don’t see there every day: learners and longboarders.

With it being the final day of this swell, Uluwatu was about as small as it gets with waves breaking between knee and waist high

Conditions were clean with light and variable winds and, although there were reasonably long waits between the sets, the line up was nice and quiet

We’re expecting the new swell to arrive overnight so we await with anticipation tomorrow’s increase in wave height

We’re delighted that certain visas are now being issued by the Indonesian government which must be applied for in advance. We’ll be ramping up operations for our soft re-opening on 1st November, so get in contact now for more information on how you can join us for an exclusive surfing experience

We headed to our local beach of Padang Padang this morning — less than 1km away — for the first beginner private surf lesson of the day

The conditions were perfect for learning to surf with waves breaking between knee and waist high, light winds and hardly anybody else in the lineup

Elsewhere the intermediate and advanced guiding group surfed at Uluwatu where conditions were perfect late into the morning with offshore wind and chest to head-high waves.

There were waves for all abilities this morning at Bingin where we returned for the first session of the day

From beginner-friendly knee-high reforms on the inside through to sets breaking well overhead on the outside, there was something for everyone

After yesterday’s XL session at Padang Padang (check out the video highlights on Facebook) there was still a large swell creating some sizeable sets although the higher tide kept conditions more accessible than they typically are on the Bingin reef

As the wind drops this afternoon, there’ll likely be another low tide Padang Padang sunset session going down so we’ll see you up on the cliffs!

This morning our beginner group headed to Padang Padang — our local beach, less than 1km down the road — for their semi-private surfing lesson.

The conditions weren’t as clean as they might have been due to the light onshore wind, but the waves on offer were still perfect for a first surf lesson; breaking at around knee-high and peeling softly to the beach.

With Bali as quiet as it currently is, if you can find a way to get yourself here, there’s never been a better time to learn to surf.

Another beautiful sunrise lit the way for our beginner and intermediate group as they hopped in the boat this morning out to Toro Toro alongside the airport runway for their first session of lessons for the day.

Waves were slightly larger than yesterday and — much to the delight of everybody —  just as clean and quiet as the group all enjoyed plenty of long rides along what is one of the surf camp’s favourite waves.
