Airport Left is a shifty left-hander located very close to the airport runway and easily accessible from Tuban and Kuta. It is an excellent wave for advanced-level surfers on a small to medium-sized swell. It is hard work on a big swell as the current constantly pulls you out of position. It is a rarity that recent man-made development has improved the wave quality. The extension of the airport in 2018 has shortened the fetch, i.e. the distance that the trade wind travels before reaching the break, so that it can hold a medium-strength wind without getting too choppy or blown out.
