Month: July 2020

On the afternoon of what some were calling ‘Big Saturday’, the ocean was putting on a show as Bali’s reefs took a pounding by the biggest swell of the year to date

The show started with some monster tow and paddle waves at Uluwatu’s Bombie and Outside Corner, and we finished on the cliffs overlooking Padang Padang

In the third and final phase of the easing of Bali’s lockdown, the island will officially open its borders again for oversea tourists on September 11th.

Start planning your trip now and join us to enjoy some of the world’s best lineups, emptier than they’re likely to be for a very long time!

With a solid swell hitting Bali today, we took a drive along the coast from Padang Padang to Dreamland to see what was going down at some of the most popular local breaks

Although the size of the swell didn’t disappoint, the wind wasn’t quite right which meant there were more turns than barrels at Bingin, a couple of big cleanup sets, and all the breaks were a little wild and unpredictable.

If and when the wind changes direction and straightens everything out later today, expect everywhere to be pumping!

The crew of hungry locals and small take-off spot make it tricky to snag a good one at Bingin, but if you’re up for the challenge, there’s no time like the present

The swell is pumping and with Covid restrictions having all but stopped tourism for now, you might never get a chance like this again to enjoy ‘Bali’s most make-able barrel’™ so start planning your next trip now

The recent run of solid swell continues with sets arriving today in head-high to double-overhead range and barrelling at Bingin — as you’d expect — but also down the outside reef at Impossibles too

The first international flight operated from Denpasar airport two days ago, Bali is officially reopening from the 9th July and travel to and from other Indonesian islands will be possible from the 31st July.

We hope and expect the issuing of tourist visas to recommence shortly after and possibly even the same day.

We’re still not posting the surf report on our typical daily schedule but check back again soon for more updates or follow us on Facebook for more Bali surf news and travel information

With Bali’s official reopening scheduled for July 9th and international routes starting to open up across the world, it’s time to start planning your next trip here!

We took the camera along with us this evening to one of our favourite local spots where the only thing better than the cocktails is the view.

With a very solid swell hitting Bali at the moment, the world-famous Padang Padang left-hander was throwing out some sizeable barrels which were being skillfully navigated by a crowd of around ten.

In the opposite direction, some chunky sets were rolling down the Impossibles reef in the ‘well overhead’ range with surfers enjoying some leg-achingly-long rides.

We’re too busy enjoying the uncrowded world-class waves for now so our regular daily surf report remains on hold but keep your eyes peeled for more regular updates soon.
