Beginner Surf Lessons at Dreamland

More fun beginner surfing at Dreamland this morning! The conditions were very clean and the waves were breaking at an easy pace- perfect for beginner surf lessons! The wind was blowing nicely light offshore against the shoulder-high waves. The surface of the ocean was very smooth, and the water was that dreamy turquoise colour that Dreamland is famous for. Overall, it was a great session!

For beginner surfers, Dreamland is a step up in difficulty as there is no channel, and the waves break a little faster. These waves give the surfer the opportunity to ride left and right down the line a greater distance than at Padang Padang. When learning to ride the waves at Dreamland, a surfer will learn to engage their rail and get moving down the line.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Dreamland

What a morning for beginner surf lessons! An offshore wind, a smooth sea state, and a fun-sized swell provided excellent surfing conditions for our developing surfers. There was plenty of swell this morning, with some of the waves coming in at up to overhead high. The beginner-friendly surf came in the form of slow-moving peaks breaking both left and right. The location of the peak tends to shift at Dreamland, which is different from the mechanical consistency of Padang Padang. The surfers all had great rides and enjoyed the stunning natural beauty of the place.

We are enjoying an extended period of excellent weather here in Uluwatu. Despite a few morning rain showers, the days have been sunny with light wind. This is great for exploring the area. See you out there!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Dreamland

Our beginner and intermediate surfers left camp early for Dreamland this morning. The swell has continued to drop in size and consistency over yesterday as we await the arrival of the next powerful swell later today. At Dreamland, the surfers enjoyed the fun, up to shoulder-high surf. The conditions were clean, and the vibes in the lineup were relaxed. The surfers made the most of the conditions, and all had a great time.

Dreamland is an excellent low-tide wave that has something for everyone on the right day. It is a great wave for beginner surfers when small. When head-high, it is a great venue for intermediates to learn their bottom turns and other key techniques. For advanced surfers, it is a long and fun wave when overhead.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Fun waves at Dreamland this morning! With a new moon and a new swell, our beginner and intermediate surfers set off for Dreamland at first light. On the outside, the intermediate surfers enjoyed shoulder-high peeling right and left-breaking waves. On the inside, the beginner surfers rode the easy, left-breaking waist-high waves, breaking slower and softer than the waves on the outside. The conditions were very clean with no wind and a very low tide. Today’s session was very relaxed and inviting, with mellow vibes in the lineup to match the mellow waves.

At the end of the day, surfing is about having fun and enjoying your session. We are always striving to improve our surfing, and some find that the biggest improvements come when you are the most relaxed.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

What a morning we had at the surf camp’s favourite low tide wave- Dreamland. The A-frame peak delivered the goods, serving long, fast, lefts with the rights moving along just a little slower. The waves were very clean, and the wind was blowing offshore! The swell has dropped just enough in size and consistency since yesterday to allow our intermediate surfers to challenge themselves in overhead + sized waves.

The surfers worked on building confidence when dropping into bigger waves, something that is more easily done under the watchful eye and careful guidance of our surf instructors. Known for their endless positivity and magnetic personalities, our surf instructors are the guys who will make sure you have a memorable session and that you are on the best waves.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Flawless surf at Dreamland this morning! The A-frame peak delivered the goods with long, glassy lines coming in at a consistent interval. The swell has dropped since yesterday, but we are still seeing overhead waves, with a few larger ones left over from yesterday. The lefts were long, fast, smooth, and enjoyable. And the rights were slower and shorter with big cutback sections- perfect for dialling in your cutback technique.

The waves today were the perfect size for our intermediate surfers to make lasting improvements in their surfing. The surfers worked on riding the waves with their body (and feet) positioned correctly over the surfboard, which allows a surfer to efficiently control their speed by shifting their weight distribution forwards and backwards while maintaining the functional stance. More perfect days incoming!

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

A fun day of waves today! Our intermediate surfers had a wonderful time surfing the sandy-bottomed peaks at Dreamland! The surfers rose bright and early and were one of the first ones to the lineup. Everyone enjoyed the mostly head-high, intermediate-friendly waves, and all made lasting progress. The wind was calm to light offshore, and the ocean was smooth. The morning fog burned off mid-session.

Dreamland is a great next step for a developing surfer who is graduating beyond the slow-rolling peaks of Padang Padang. The wave is a step more difficult than Padang Padang, and there is no easy channel. The wave is surfed at the opposite tide from Padang Padang, which means that if a surfer can handle Dreamland, they have somewhere to surf on any tide.

Advanced surf guiding at Dreamland

A new swell has come in hot with well-overhead surf pulsing across the island. The ocean was calm and beautifully clean at first light, with just a few surfers out early. The quickly rising tide provided a buffer from the larger swell, which made it easier to handle the bigger waves. The A-frame served up fast lefts with a steep take-off and softer rights that handled the size beautifully. The offshore wind picked up in strength through the session, which helped keep the left open. The surfers worked on building confidence in the bigger waves, which they can carry forward to future sessions.

We have a new moon today on the Balinese calendar, which is when the Balinese pray for forgiveness and cleansing. Many Balinese will be attending ceremonies all across the island today.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Pumping surf this morning at Dreamland! Our intermediate surfers enjoyed excellent surfing conditions! Plus-sized walls, long lines, and offshore wind! This is the perfect wave and the perfect size to step up your game in bigger conditions. The wave is not so challenging or intimidating when overhead. This affords an intermediate surfer the time and space to develop their bottom turns and improve their top turns. Additionally, the A-frame offers left and right-breaking waves, so a surfer can have their pick at what they would like to work on. Developing surfers can build upon the confidence they gain in mornings like these.

Our morning high tides are finally returning! From tomorrow, more breaks will be accessible for first-light surfing. The trend of morning high tides will hold through the end of the month.
