Beginner Surfing in Bali

It was a struggle to find some waves this morning as, unfortunately, it was one of those rare occasions where there wasn’t much in the way of swell arriving at Bali’s shores.

Our beginner and intermediate group decided to make the best of what what was available and surfed at Balangan where the sun was shining and the waves were very clean but only breaking in the knee to chest-high range on most sets.

This was perfect for our beginners but our intermediates are looking forward to the next few days when a fresh swell will be arriving to supply us with some bigger waves.

Swell size had dropped overnight but there were still plenty of waves on offer for both intermediates and beginners as our two groups headed back to Geger Left again this morning for their group and semi-private surfing lessons.

Waves were breaking in the knee to shoulder-high range and were very clean on what was a beautiful, uncrowded sunny morning of ‘wet-season’ waves here in paradise.

In a change to our original schedule, Geger Left in Nusa Dua was the spot of choice this morning for our beginner and intermediate groups’ first sessions of the day.

We had group, semi-private and private lessons all taking place this morning and everybody enjoyed the clean, uncrowded waves that were breaking between knee and waist high.

Our beginners and intermediates joined forces this morning to surf at Balangan — one of our local west-facing beaches.

Thanks to the light morning wind, everybody got to enjoy their lessons at what is typically a dry-season break and took advantage of the clean and uncrowded knee to waist-high waves that were coming through on the sets.

This morning our beginner group made the short journey to sunny Padang Padang beach for their first session of surf lessons.

It was a beautiful morning with conditions being just about perfect for learners with clean waves breaking around knee height.

After  a break, our beginners surfed again at Padang Padang for their second session whilst our intermediate/advanced group surfed at Greenbowl and Uluwatu

Even if the weather was a little gloomy this morning, there were smiles all round from our beginners as they headed to Balangan beach for their first session of group surfing lessons this morning.

The water was nice and quiet with other surfers and the learner-friendly knee-high waves were breaking cleanly.

After enjoying the early morning session, our surfers headed back to the surf camp for breakfast before their second session of the day at Padang Padang.

After a day of rain yesterday the sun was shining again today as our beginner and intermediate groups joined up to surf at Black Stone in Nusa Dua.

Conditions were clean with waves breaking in the knee to chest high range for the duration of the surf lessons and guiding session this morning.

After everybody was surfed out, they all headed back to camp to feast on delicious fresh tuna poke bowls and refuel for tomorrow.

It was a relatively late start for our beginner and intermediate group’s first session of the day today as they travelled to Balangan beach for group surf lessons and guiding.

The were party waves and smiles all around as our surfers worked on their popups and started making their first turns down the line in the late morning sun.

Waves were breaking in the knee to waist high range which is ideal for building confidence when you’re just getting started
