Geger Left Surf Spot Info, Report and Forecast

Our intermediate surfers paddled-out at Geger Left this morning where they found pumping surf at one of Bali’s most scenic locations. The swell has continued to drop, coming in at 4.0 ft. at 12 seconds, however there were plenty of overhead set waves coming in at the more exposed end of the reef. Our surfers scored fast lines amongst an offshore breeze that has finally begun to ease in its persistence. The surfers worked on improving the speed at which they pop up, and setting their fins into the wave to generate drive.

Geger Left is an excellent wave for an improving surfer looking to gain experience at exposed reefbreaks. At Geger, there are three main peaks which grow in size the farther they are away from the reef. A developing surfer can start at the smallest peak, then work their way up to the larger peaks.

A storm blew in overnight leaving the west coast of the island with messy conditions. This is not an issue for our camp as we can quickly access the southern and eastern coastlines of the Bukit Peninsula. The swell is holding steady at 5ft. at 13 seconds coming from 218 degrees. Our intermediate group headed to Geger Left where they found pumping offshore, overhead waves breaking over the reef. Our group scored clean, fast walls with a few barrel sections for the skilled surfer to take advantage of.

The stretch of coastline from Nikko to Sri Lanka is an excellent alternative to have available when the wind turns onshore on our side of the Bukit. Contained within this small area, you have the more advanced waves of Geger, Geger Left, and Sri Lanka, an intermediate friendly wave at Nikko, and the beginner friendly wave at Blackstone.

Our intermediate group headed off to Geger Left again this morning as the onshore wind has decided to stick around the Uluwatu area for another day, as predicted in the forecast. At Geger, the wind was blowing offshore, and the swell was showing its full size with overhead waves on the sets. Our surfers managed to race down the line for some fast and challenging rides.

In most places around the world, an onshore day like today would mean no surfing. In Bali, we are blessed with exposed reefs and coastlines facing several different directions. This means that it is almost always offshore somewhere on the island, and the more exposed breaks will usually pick up a surfable wave. Separately, today is Melasti in Bali, which is an important day for the Balinese Hindus. Today’s ceremony will also be the first traditionally held ceremony since the pandemic began.

Due to the westerly wind today, we decided to visit the east coast. In Nusa Dua the wind conditions were off-shore and the waves were clean. The incoming sets were shoulder-high and fun to ride for our intermediate group. Besides the good waves, the beach is beautiful to look at.

There is a new swell coming tomorrow and we are looking forward to having bigger waves again. With the onshore wind on the west coast, Nusa Dua will be our preference for this week. It is great to be able to explore different waves again. Bali has so many more waves to offer and every day you can find perfect waves somewhere. With our local knowledge and experience, finding these waves is no problem at all.

Going to Nusa Dua was the right choice today. The west side of the Bukit was not ideal due to the strong wind from the west. This meant perfect offshore conditions on the east coast! Long and cleanly breaking left-handers were coming consistently and the many sets made it easy for everyone to catch waves.

From surfing down the line on head-high waves to pulling in the occasional barrel, there were opportunities for the advanced surfer but also the intermediate surfers. If the bigger sets were a bit too much, you could easily sit on the shoulder and wait for smaller waves to come through. This makes the spot very attractive to a wide variety of surfers. Choose a suitable peak for your level, wait for the right wave and you will be rewarded.

What a beautiful sunny day with excellent surf conditions on the east side of the Bukit. Shoulder to head high waves were breaking perfectly to the left. The water was so clear that you could look right through the waves, and watch the colorful fish swimming underneath your surfboard.

Days like this are magical and it is what people get addicted to. Great waves, amazing nature, and friendly company! Surfing uncrowded waves is a dream, and there is nothing better than seeing your friends cheer for you when you catch the wave of the day. Surf trips like this are a wonderful experience and memories will last a lifetime.

We decided to go to Nusa Dua again today, because of the western wind. Offshore, head-high surf conditions greeted us and put a smile on our faces. The left-handers were our favored choice, perfectly shaped peaks and clean walls attracted more than just a handful of surfers. With the professional knowledge and experience of our guides, we were able to catch many waves nonetheless.

This is the next step in an intermediate surfers career. The waves here are more powerful and faster than the waves where you start learning. You will be surprised how it feels to surf down the line with that much speed. It’s fun and thrilling! Many people get addicted to that feeling, the rush, and adrenaline you have after successfully completing the ride of your life.

The westerly wind was dominating the last couple of weeks and we got to surf Nusa Dua most of the time. Due to its perfect offshore conditions, the east side of Bali is the preferred destination for many surfers during the rainy season. Clean waves and plenty of peaks make this surf spot a favourite.

Known as a swell magnet on smaller days, this spot attracts surfers of all levels and is the go-to option when it is too windy on the west side of the Bukit. This shoulder-high left-hander breaks best on a low to mid-tide. Suitable for advanced surfers who like racing down the line, but also for the intermediate level surfers who want to take the next step in their surfing career.
