Nikko Surf Spot Info, Report and Forecast • Bali Surf Report

Surfing at Nikko

Nikko is located directly in front of 5* Nikko Hotel in Nusa Dua and has been the subject of recent controversy due to the breakwater built in the middle of the lineup. Greedy developers and corrupt politicians were two of the printable phrases used to describe this project that was completed in 2018.

There is still a rideable wave and the beach is very beautiful, located at the extreme south end of Nusa Dua. It was a secret spot for a long time but never popular with goofy footers as very fast. Still worth a visit on smaller days or on bigger days if you like fast-barrelling right-handers.

At the end of the reef, there is a slower wave that breaks into deep water and is suitable for intermediate surfers. This wave is still very good and can offer several barrel and turn sections on a wave.

This break is once again subject to development. Breakwaters have been built which have completely destroyed the inside peak at Pantai Sawangan (inside of the intermediate peak), which was perfect for kids and beginners.

If you’re interested in surfing top breaks in the Uluwatu area, Nusa Dua, South Coast, and the Airport Reefs, get in touch with us today as a Resident or non-Resident.

Nikko Surf Reports

Intermediate surf guiding at Nikko ★★★★★

The promising forecast for Uluwatu today let us down and we decided to check out Nusa Dua which favors westerly winds. We were greeted by shoulder high offshore conditions!
Fun righthanders run over this reef section and when the tide is low you can get some of the best barrels Bali has to offer. Today there were no barrels to snatch but it was super fun and not too crowded which made this trip to the east coast totally worth it.

Today’s swell has picked up since yesterday. Waves were breaking shoulder to over head high with occasional double over head.

Soft offshore breeze with sunny sky after morning rain in the east coast .

There were less crowd than expected which made it even better.

The swell will mild down tomorrow and beginners might be able to surf in the inside for some stoke fun!

Intermediate Surf Guiding at Nikko Beach, Bali ★★★★★

Nikko is one of the right hander in East Coast Bali and is a great option to go to for all levels of surfers when the swell is big everywhere else.

Waist to head high waves, soft offshore wind and blue sky this morning made the surfers want to grab their surfboard and paddle out to get some waves.

You can surf Nikko for a more soft wave though you’ll spot the crowd and if you’re confident with your surfing abilities you can head to Pandawa for bigger waves and less crowd.

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Lessons and Guiding at Nikko, Bali ★★★★★

Today’s report comes from Nikko where our intermediate and advanced groups headed for surfing lessons and guiding.

A beautiful spot on the south coast of the Bukit peninsular named after the hotel, Nikko was offering up waves from waist high to head high this morning, for our guests’ second surf session of the day.

Following a grey start to the morning, the clouds burned away to leave us with a bright, sunny day, and light cross-offshore winds kept the waves clean for the whole session.

After a busy morning of surfing, our guests headed back to the camp for their delicious daily lunch.
