Advanced Surfing in Bali

Fun surf today at Chicken Wings! Our crew caught the first boat out to this playful Nusa Dua right-hander. We scored mostly head-high sets with long, connecting sections for those finding the right line. A few chunky sets provided extra adrenaline and even a couple of quick barrels.

While the wind was a bit stronger than ideal, the conditions remained fun and glassy under the morning sun. Tomorrow, we’re watching for the first signs of the SE trade winds—the official kickoff to the dry season! We’re itching to get back to Uluwatu soon.

Our surfers headed to Pandawa this morning and scored clean, shoulder-high surf with a light west wind blowing side shore. The lefts were the standout—fast, running walls that demanded an early takeoff and rewarded commitment with a full-speed turn section down the line. Energy in the water stayed high, with plenty of waves and plenty of smiles. The occasional right popped up, though the wind cut those rides short.

When conditions aren’t lining up everywhere, local knowledge makes the call. Our guides timed it right, finding clean, quiet peaks before the peak crowd arrived. This exposed stretch near Bali’s southern tip picks up any available swell, which is why timing matters—too much size and the currents take over. This morning, it came together.

October 15th brought a powerful big wave day to Uluwatu, Bali. Pro surfer Rio Waida, his brother Ryuki, and several others charged massive sets at Outside Corner, displaying serious commitment and control. Up at the Bombie, conditions turned critical with huge barrels and heavy closeouts testing every surfer in the lineup. Strong offshore winds added to the challenge, creating both opportunity and risk. With the dry season coming to an end, just one more big wave day remains on the forecast before we begin to settle into the quiet season.

Another day of world-class waves at Uluwatu. The swell was firing, with clean, well-overhead sets running all the way to the big rock at the end of the Race Track. Light offshore wind and a light crowd made for ideal conditions. Advanced surfers were treated to long rides packed with barrel and turn sections—a classic Uluwatu day.

Tomorrow looks even bigger. Uluwatu will be for experts only, so if you’re unsure where to paddle out, join us. We’ll take you to the best break for your ability and make sure you get the most out of the conditions.

The Indian Ocean roared to life overnight with a mix of powerful swells delivering pumping waves. A bit of wind and rain this morning kept conditions shifting, but clean, heavy lefts rolled through nonetheless. After the rain cleared, the offshore wind picked up, and wave faces stayed clean throughout the session. Our advanced surfers scored some exhilarating rides, linking together strong backhand turns.

Uluwatu is the place to be when the swell hits. Known for handling size with ease, it’s a showcase of power and precision—best watched from a cliffside warung if you’re not paddling out yourself.

Expect excellent surfing conditions at Uluwatu almost every day between March and November.

Another excellent morning here in Bali. A solid swell delivered overhead waves across the island’s reefs and beaches, with light offshore tradewinds keeping conditions clean and well-organized. Uluwatu was in great form today, offering consistent sets and long, open faces—perfect for advanced surfers to lay into carves, race down the line, and tuck into a few barrels.

Expect continued excellent surf in the days ahead. The all-day offshores, reliable swells, and classic dry season weather Bali is known for have arrived. It’s the time of year we wait for. See you in the lineup.

We’re starting the new year with a session at Uluwatu—our favorite spot. This morning, the wet season wind eased, allowing light offshore breezes over the Uluwatu area. Waves ranged from shoulder to head high, with clean, organized sets rolling in under smooth sea conditions. Surfers made the most of the opportunity to enjoy a few fun waves at this iconic break at a manageable size.

By keeping an eye on conditions this time of year, you can find yourself surfing Bali’s premier breaks with only a handful of others in the lineup.

Uluwatu served up fun waves this morning! Early risers enjoyed near-empty lineups, with our crew catching waves at first light. Despite the fading swell, plenty of waves rolled through, including a few head-high sets. Conditions were clean, and a light offshore breeze held up the wave faces just a little longer, allowing for two or three turns before reaching a heavy end section that most surfers were advised to steer clear of.

Surf is expected to be smaller on Monday and Tuesday, but starting Wednesday, a solid swell is forecasted to bring consistent waves for the week ahead.
