Intermediate and Advanced Surf Guiding at Dreamland, Bali

For today’s surf report, our intermediate and advanced guiding group headed to Dreamland beach for their first surf of the day.

Arriving shortly after dawn to an empty lineup — as we often do — our surfers enjoyed their pick of the waves as they spread across the lineup. At the start of the session the set waves were breaking all the way along the beach for some long rides, and as the tide filled in, the shorebreak and inside reform started to turn on.

Waves today were breaking in the shoulder-high to overhead range and everybody had a great session with plenty of rides before the short drive back to surf camp for another delicious breakfast.

Intermediate Surf Lessons and Guiding at Toro Toro

This morning our intermediate surfers were up at dawn and out on the boat to Toro Toro for their first session of surf lessons and guiding.

As you can see from the gallery, it was the girls who were on fire this morning, catching all of the best waves of the session!

Wave height had increased overnight as the new swell filled in and our expert guides and instructors once again made the perfect pick to score the ideal combination of fun, glassy, and uncrowded waves.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Balangan, Bali

This morning our beginner group headed to Balangan for their surf lessons — one of the most picturesque, palm-fringed beaches on the Bukit peninsular.

As you can see from today’s gallery, you’d be forgiven for thinking this was our beginners’ group as they’ve all already progressed from the whitewater to riding along Balangan’s open faces.

Today’s waves were coming through in the chest to shoulder-high range and providing the perfect balance of challenging but safe conditions to help our surfers progress as quickly as possible.

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Lessons and Guiding at Uluwatu, Bali

This morning’s dawn patrol saw our intermediate and advanced groups of surfers heading to Uluwatu where the swell height had increased slightly overnight. Waves were coming in clean and glassy on both the main peak and Racetracks sections and everybody enjoyed some long rides.

As well as a few who joined us for surf guiding the majority of today’s group were taking advantage of either private or semi-private lessons and benefitting from the years of knowledge reading the waves and lineup that our expert instructors have to offer.

After a breakfast refuelling stop back at the surf camp, these two groups both joined up with our other intermediate group to surf at Balangan for their second surf session of the day.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang, Bali

The surf camp’s beginner surfing lessons took place at our local break this morning — down the road at Padang Padang Rights.

The sun was shining, the winds were light and the waves were coming through glassy and in the waist to shoulder high range.

As our beginners were experimenting with their first turns, there were even a few larger, hollower waves that sneaked through and everyone had a great time.

While the beginners were at Padang Padang, our intermediate and advanced surfers headed to Uluwatu for their first session before everybody joined up to exchange stories of their morning adventures over breakfast back at camp.

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Lessons and Guiding at Uluwatu, Bali

This morning our advanced group enjoyed surf guiding and our intermediate group enjoyed surf lessons at Uluwatu. Conditions are clean today and almost no wind but the swell is still not big. Therefore, the waves this morning are chest high to shoulder high but on certain good sets can reach head high size or even overhead size. Still fun and enjoyable. Bali has a big variety of for experienced surfers is a good opportunity to surf the best waves in different locations of this amazing island.

Our beginners groups had surf lessons at Padang Padang beach this morning. Excellent conditions for learning and waves waist high to knee high or waist high on sets provided really enjoyable surf session for our learners.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang, Bali

This morning our beginners’ group made the drive of less than 1km to our closest beach at Padang Padang for their first session of surfing lessons for the day.

After a short time rehearsing their pop-ups on the sand with some helpful pointers from their expert instructors, they were off into the ocean to put that advice into practice.

The waves were between knee and waist-high this morning which was the perfect size for our beginners — progressing from the whitewater to riding along the waves’ faces.

After breakfast, the beginners joined the intermediate group at Dreamland while our advanced surfers headed out to Temple for their second surf of the morning.

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Lessons and Guiding at Uluwatu, Bali

This morning our intermediate and advanced groups headed to the famous peaks of Uluwatu for their surf lessons and guiding sessions.

Waves were breaking in the shoulder to head high range with a few larger sets coming in well overhead. As you can see from the variety in today’s gallery, there were barrel and air sections on offer, some glassy walls and plenty of smiling faces.

After breakfast, our intermediate and advanced surfers were in the water again at Dreamland, while our other intermediate and beginner groups surfed at Toro Toro and Padang Padang.

Intermediate Surf Lessons and Advanced Surf Guiding at Geger Left, Bali

This morning our intermediate and advanced groups headed over to Nusa Dua to surf at Geger Reef’s lesser-known neighbour Geger Lefts for lessons and surf guiding.

Wave height was in the shoulder to overhead range as the sun rose over Bali, backlighting the waves and creating another picture-postcard morning here in paradise.

Elsewhere at the surf camp this morning, our intermediates and beginners groups surfed at Dreamland and Padang Padang, so there was — as always — something on offer for all ability levels.
