Advanced surf guiding at Dreamland

A new swell has come in hot with well-overhead surf pulsing across the island. At Dreamland, the ocean was calm and beautifully clean at first light, with just a touch of offshore wind. The tide was just right for the A-frame peak. The take-offs were steep, which required some paddle strength and some courage. Once up and riding, the rights offered mellow rides as the wave fizzled out into a deep water channel. While the left offered a barrel section from take-off, followed by a fast, racy wall.

We are back into a trend of morning low tides till the 28th. With plenty of swell on the forecast, places like Dreamland and Toro-Toro are looking good!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Our beginner surfers had a fun session at Baby Padang this morning. With the swell dropping to shoulder-high after two days of bigger surf, the waves were just the right size for everyone to enjoy. The light offshore breeze and clear water made for perfect conditions. The rights offered mellow, easy rides, ideal for surfers just learning to control their surfboard. The lefts offered rides with a bit more speed, which morphed into longer waves for those who could make the reform section.

It was a great day for improving skills and having a blast in the lineup. Tomorrow is looking just as good. Come and join us!

Advanced surf guiding at Padang Padang

A new swell has brought solid waves to Bali’s premier breaks. Expert surfers were out at Padang Padang Left, a challenging wave suitable only for top-tier surfers. Bali’s top surfers skillfully navigated the demanding conditions with a steady offshore tradewind from early morning. The tide was optimal for the wave to produce intense barrels, requiring precise execution. Surfers successfully pulled into some impressive tubes, the ultimate goal in surfing.

Despite its appearance, the wave at Padang Padang is fast, heavy, shallow, and competitive. A misjudged wave can quickly lead to a challenging situation.

Intermediate surf guiding on The Bukit

With plenty of swell in the water and a low tide at first light, our intermediate surfers set off to surf the rights at Bingin. The surf was in the head-high to overhead range at this protected wave, with Bingin firing barrels for expert surfers within view. The wind was blowing lightly offshore at the base of the cliffs, and the sea state was very clean. The surfers worked on setting their rail to get down the line as quickly as possible.

Bingin Right is a fun, sheltered break for intermediate surfers when the swell picks up and the tide is low. The wave breaks in a clearly defined spot quite softly and at a measured speed.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Our group of beginner surfers had a great morning at Baby Padang. The surfers paddled out into fun-sized left and rights, eager to enjoy the thrill of harnessing the power of the waves. The surf was in the wist-high range with a few bigger sets, thanks to an incoming large swell. The August trade wind was ever present, blowing straight offshore into the waves. The sun was shining, the vibes were fun, and everyone had a great time.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance from the pop-up and the basics of turning, which are the first techniques that need to be learned once you are up and riding.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our advanced group enjoyed an incredible morning at Uluwatu. The swell had dropped to a user-friendly size, down to the head-high range with a few larger set waves. The water was exceptionally clear and warm, with the offshore trade wind blowing lighter than usual for an August morning. The perfect tide coincided with our preferred time of day to surf Uluwatu- which is just as the sun comes up over the Bukit cliffs.

The rising tide gave everyone the opportunity to surf The Racetrack and The Peak. The Racetrack offered its usual fast lines. Over at the peak, the most advanced surfers enjoyed the larger, steeper waves, with even a few surfers scoring barrels.

Advanced Surf Guiding at Kuta Reef

Today is a big wave day in Bali. The premier breaks are all working their magic with the combination of a moderate offshore wind, a good range of tide, and plenty of swell. The expert surfers put on a show at The Bombie and Outside Corner at Uluwatu, and the trials of the Rip Curl Cup are on today.

Our advanced group headed out to Kuta Reef, capitalizing on the early morning high tide and significant swell. At the outside section, waves broke hard and fast, presenting barrels for those adept at making the steep drops. Down the line, the wave offered a more manageable takeoff with several turn sections before dissipating into deeper water.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Dreamland

Our beginner surfers had a great morning surfing the slow, mellow waves at Dreamland. With plenty of swell still hanging around, our surfers stuck to the outside left, an easier wave compared to Dreamland’s well-known A-frame peak. The wind was light offshore, the sea state calm, and the conditions beautiful. The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance, which is a key skill set to learn when just beginning your surfing journey.

However, practice in the lineup alone isn’t enough to make real improvements quickly. Back at the surf camp, our surfers will review their session’s video with our head coach. He will analyze their performance and provide targeted feedback for further development.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our advanced surfers had an incredible morning at Uluwatu! The swell was pumping with consistent well-overhead sets pulsing through the lineup. Bali’s best surfers were out putting on a show with incredibly committed turns and skilful barrel rides. The group waited for the tide to be just right after breakfast before paddling out to the lineup. By then, the offshore wind had picked up to a moderate pace. The surfers pushed their boundaries, testing their skills and courage under the guidance of head coach Randy.

On days like these, securing a set wave can be challenging. With the help of an experienced surf guide, you can gain valuable experience in waves of consequence.
