Toro Toro Surf Spot Info, Report and Forecast

Surfing at Toro Toro

Toro Toro is THE surf camp’s favourite wave. It needs a medium to large-sized swell as it is located within Jimbaran Bay, which is sheltered from the prevailing swell direction. Toro-Toro is where intermediates can surf their perfect wave as it offers a very easy take-off and is slow breaking. The ride can be very long, but after the initial section, it is mostly cutbacks and playing around in the pocket close to or into the whitewater.

The left can be fun on higher tides, but it is a short ride, and there is a barrel section which is quite difficult for intermediates to navigate. The right-hander is near perfect and never closes out (assuming you take off in the right position, i.e. not too deep on the bigger waves). There is a deep water channel on both the left and right, so an easy paddle back, assuming you don’t fall off in the impact zone. Be careful with Japanese longboarders who have more enthusiasm than skill.

On bigger days, it tends to section, and the set waves will break wide. The small to medium waves are the best as they break in the same spot and can be perfect. Advanced surfers will love surfing Airport Rights, as it is bigger, heavier and faster and just a short paddling distance away.

A soft haze hung over Jimbaran Bay this morning, but it didn’t take anything away from the waves. Toro-Toro was running long, clean lines with smooth faces, giving the crew open walls for cutbacks and turns. For anyone working on speed, it was a great setup: pop up, get moving down the line early, and use the face to keep the board running. Those who made the first section on the rights were rewarded with a long ride down the reef.

Days like this are why we keep coming back to Toro-Toro. The takeoff is forgiving, the deep channel keeps the paddle back easy, and the long walls give intermediates time to practise the same turn more than once on a single wave. Grey skies or not, it was a fun, productive session for everyone in the water.

A long-period swell is running through Bali today, with 18-second energy pushing solid surf onto the exposed reefs, so we headed inside Jimbaran Bay to Toro-Toro. The bay took most of the size and power out of it, leaving well-shaped lefts and rights with plenty of room to work. The rights ran long and forgiving, with slower sections that suited drawn-out cutbacks, while the lefts stood up steeper and faster, offering critical sections for turns and the odd chance to pull in.

When a swell like this lights up Uluwatu and Airport Right, those reefs quickly move beyond what most intermediates want to be surfing. Toro-Toro’s position inside the bay takes the edge off that energy, which is why it holds up as a reliable call across a wide range of swell sizes, and why it remains the camp’s favourite wave.

It was a lovely morning at Toro-Toro, with the swell finally backing off enough for a fun, relaxed session. Both lefts and rights were working — the lefts shorter and more intense, the rights running longer down the reef, with a few surfers linking multiple rights together for a long ride.

Dry season usually brings bigger, more powerful swell that suits heavier reefs like Uluwatu or Airport Right better than Toro-Toro. A quieter swell like today’s is an opportunity — the size drops into Toro-Toro’s sweet spot, and the wave gets to show the long, playful character that makes it the camp’s favourite.

A gap between swells and a break in the trade winds lined things up nicely at Toro-Toro this morning. With the size and push backed off, the reef settled into exactly the kind of wave it’s known for — easy, playful lefts and rights peeling off in both directions, with long, open walls to work with. The crew made the most of it, picking off wave after wave through a genuinely fun session.

Dry season in Bali usually brings bigger, more powerful swell and stronger wind, and Toro-Toro can get pushed around by conditions better suited to heavier reefs like Uluwatu or Airport Right. A quieter window like today is something of an opportunity — the size drops into Toro-Toro’s sweet spot, the wind lays off, and the wave gets to show off the long, playful character that makes it the surf camp’s favourite.

Toro-Toro turned on early today, though the wind filled in before sunrise had fully settled. Conditions stayed fun regardless — steep lefts offered up two or three solid turns apiece, while the rights kept running long for anyone who could make that first section. The crew traded waves steadily through the wind, keeping the stoke high all morning.

Toro-Toro remains the surf camp’s favourite wave for good reason. The reef sets up an easy takeoff with a deep channel on both sides for a quick paddle back, and even with some texture on the face today, the rights held their shape well down the line — proof this wave can still deliver when the wind isn’t cooperating.

Intermediate Surf Guiding at Toro Toro ★★★★★

Toro-Toro turned on at first light with clean, shoulder-to-head-high peaks breaking in both directions thanks to the powerful swell we have today in Bali. The kids were the standouts this morning, trading long rights and a few fun lefts while the early glass held, linking turns down the line as the sun rose over Jimbaran Bay. Consistent sets kept the lineup moving, and the deep channel made for an easy paddle back after every ride.

We’re now in peak dry season, but with lighter winds than usual for this time of year, conditions have stayed extra clean. Sessions like this are why Toro-Toro remains the surf camp’s favourite wave — easy takeoffs, playful walls, and rides that run longer than you expect.
