Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate and advanced surfers enjoyed an empty lineup at Uluwatu this morning! The swell had dropped in size since yesterday but there were plenty of head-high + lines coming in. When the surfers paddled out at first light, there was a bit of texture in the lineup caused by an overnight breeze. It didn’t take long for the conditions to clean up; however, by that time, the rest of the surfers had gone either to Nusa Dua or back to bed, leaving just our crew in the lineup. The tide was in the perfect range during the session, which allowed for long and fast lines that the racetrack is known for.

It’s not easy to get an empty lineup these days, but today was our day.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

While waiting for the tide to come up, our advanced and intermediate surfers decided that the waves were clean enough at Uluwatu for a fun session. We made the right call as they scored fun head-head + waves with a light crowd! The westerly direction of the swell meant Nusa Dua would have been smaller. There was a light onshore breeze but the wave faces were plenty clean for good turn sections and long rides. Everyone enjoyed the jump in the surf and the unexpected clean conditions.

We have quick access to a wide range of waves from our surf camp in Padang Padang. Between the waves at the airport, Ulwuatu, the south coast, and Nusa Dua, there is always something for everyone.

Excellent quiet season surf this morning! An early morning rain shower had cleaned up the surf perfectly, just in time for a morning session at Uluwatu. The surf was in the head-high range with a few bigger set waves. The wind was light and variable, blowing from several directions throughout the session. The swell was rolling onto the reef in nicely organized lines. The waves broke in long but fast lines down the reef.

Our intermediate surfers worked on riding along the face of the wave, which requires that next step of control of your surfboard to get moving down the line at a swift pace. The surfers had a great time in the user-friendly surf, which is just what they came here for.

Fun waves at Uluwatu this morning! We are enjoying a fine break in the wind, which allowed us access to all of the best breaks in the Uluwatu area. This morning, our intermediate surfers headed out to Uluwatu for overhead surf, with just a few surfers out. The wind was blowing lightly from the southwest, which added some texture to the lineup. Despite the wind, the waves were very fun and the session was relaxed. Nevertheless, the surfers enjoyed the long lefts with several turn and speed sections.

We are enjoying an incredible wet season this year. The wind has been light for the last several days, with many good sessions in Uluwatu and at the airport reefs. When the wind does pick, there are always offshore waves in Nusa Dua.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

There are some incredible waves in Uluwatu this January! We are enjoying a return of offshore wind and all-day clean conditions with plenty of swell to play with. Our advanced group surfed Uluwatu this morning from first light. The tide was just high enough to be surfed relatively safely. The surfers were guided into excellent waves, with some achieving very long rides. The offshore wind, a powerful swell, and a decent tide are what make world-class surfing conditions here in Bali.

Part of the magic of Uluwatu is that the wave can be surfed by a wide range of surfers, as the smaller waves are still very good. Surfers still building experience, with the help of knowledgeable surf instructors, can safely surf the smaller waves, while avoiding the bigger sets.

Lots of rain this morning, much to the relief of the island of Bali. With the rain came the wind from the west, which chopped up the surf conditions at first light. Once the weather cleared, the wind turned offshore, leaving us with some decent surf conditions and a light crowd. The surfers enjoyed mostly head-high surf with a few larger sets. The waves were clean and lined up nicely for long, fast rides. Great surf, considering how the morning started.

When the rain and the wind come this time of the year, most of the surfers head to the Nusa Dua area, where the wind blows offshore. On days like today, when the conditions clean up mid-morning, you can get some excellent surf in uncrowded conditions.

Excellent surfing at Uluwatu this morning! Our surfers enjoyed high-quality, overhead surf at Bali’s premier surf break. The conditions were clean with a light offshore wind and a mid/low tide. The racetrack section delivered barrels and turn sections for the surfers who can spot the good waves that become long rides, from the faster waves that race off. Top local surfer and instructor, Scotty, expertly directed the surfers onto the best waves.

Uluwatu really is one of the best waves in the world. Additionally, it offers world-class surfing for 9 + months out of the year. It works on any size, any tide, and holds an unfavourable wind well. Not least of all, it is an incredible place to spend a week or two on holiday.

Our intermediate and advanced surfers enjoyed an incredible surf at Uluwatu this morning! The swell is fading in size and consistency however there were still plenty of overhead set waves coming in at the exposed end of Ulwuatu. The conditions were beautiful and clean, with an incredible view at the base of the cliffs. The lineup was peaceful, with turtles swimming about looking for breakfast. The famous wave served overhead-high surf with some larger sets for the more experienced of the crew. The rides were long and the conditions were very clean. Some surfers reported the longest lefts they have ever had.

We are enjoying an incredible end to the year here in Uluwatu. The mornings have been very clean, and the southwest wind has been light. See you out there!

More fun, quiet season surf in Uluwatu! The swell is up, the sun is shining, and the waves are good! Despite the light southwest wind, the surfers had a great time and enjoyed the end-of-year sunshine. The waves were in the overhead range, with a few larger sets that Uluwatu always delivers. Despite the unfavourable wind, the Race Track section of Uluwatu served up long and fun rides, with waves of various sizes for different levels of surfers. The more experienced surfers can take off on the bigger and faster waves, while the less experienced can wait for waves farther down the reef or more inside.

We have more fun surfing to close out the year. Plenty of swell, a wind that is not too strong, and excellent weather.
