Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

We sent our intermediate and advanced surfers to the world-famous Uluwatu this morning. As you can see from the photos, our surfers found some nice, shredable walls with almost no wind! Some of our surfers found waves running all the way to the end of the reef. Days like these, with crystal clear water and waves, are always “better than it looks,” despite the swell tailing off.

When you have a smaller forecast, Uluwatu is always a great option as it is the most exposed break on the western coast of Bukit. The swell hits Uluwatu directly, which gives greater size and power to the wave. The surf camp’s favourite section of the wave is the racetrack. This section starts directly in front of the paddle out of the cave, and can run all the way to the big rock at the end of the reef.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

It was a beautiful morning today with sunny weather and glassy surf conditions. Uluwatu was great for our intermediate and advanced groups due to the mellow breaking waves and head-high size. A perfect start to the day with great waves and good moods!

Not always is Uluwatu only for the pros. On days like today, when the waves are not that huge, it offers amazing rides for improving surfers. Long, clean walls are inviting for practicing turns and generating speed, while some of the inside sections can be great for floaters and more advanced maneuvers. When going on the right tide and swell, there are waves for everyone out there who want to start surfing more challenging waves.

The rainy season is knocking on our doors early this year. With a lot of positive things, like glassy mornings and evenings, there are also some downsides to it. Sometimes after heavy rain showers, the water can get an unusual color. This only lasts for a couple of hours most of the time until the current and waves wash it away.

Nevertheless, the waves were good and everyone had some amazing rides this morning. From tomorrow, we are looking into a sunny future again, and hopefully, the weather report delivers what it promises. We can’t wait to surf more of Uluwatu’s perfect lefts and other surf spots around this area of Bali. There are so many more waves to discover during the rainy season. The east side of Bali is full of right-handers that are just waiting to be surfed.

The playful size of the waves today made us go to Uluwatu again. Shoulder-high but clean and perfectly breaking, the left-handers were great for our advanced surfers.

The wind is still off-shore for most of the day. Because of that and the low tide early on, we decided to go after breakfast this time. With a small swell like this and the wind coming from the east, Uluwatu is the best place to be. Soon we will have high tide in the morning and we are excited to go to the south of the Bukit to places like Green Bowl and Pandawa. When the waves are small, there you can find head-high sets that come in consistently.

Uluwatu surely was the best choice this morning to surf for our advanced group. The swell dropped overnight and we were greeted with shoulder-high, clean left-handers. With the incoming tide, sets were coming constantly and everyone got plenty of waves.

Timing is key if you want to surf Uluwatu with the best possible conditions. The tide can make or break your session. If there is too much water over the reef, the waves get too soft and if it is too low, it gets very shallow. Our local surf guides know what times are best and can guide you through the lineup to get the best suitable waves for your skill level. From intermediate to advanced surfers, everyone can have a great session at Uluwatu when going in the right conditions!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Unusually small swell in Bali but there are always waves to be found at Uluwatu. The season is slowly changing and instead of a consistent strong offshore wind, the wind is now light and variable. October is a good time to explore surf breaks on the south coast and east coast, which breaks up the crowds and also offers some variety of surf spots.

A light onshore wind and waves shoulder-head high but still some power and very good wave quality. It’s only very small for 1 day and tomorrow we are looking forward to a 15 second west swell.

Uluwatu was great this morning due to the slightly bigger swell that had arrived overnight. Clean, long left-handers all morning long and only a handful of other surfers out there. This is how we like to wake up, jumping into lukewarm water with perfect waves in front of us.

As the season is changing, so does the wind direction. Now, glassy conditions in the mornings are the norm and off-shore wind conditions in the afternoon and evenings. Soon, the wind direction will change and come from the west. Then, Nusa Dua and the east side of the Island will be on our radar. Many great surf spots await us there, and every regular footer will love the right-hander buffet Bali has to offer.
