Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Another perfect day for surfing, in the world’s best, and most consistent surfing island. Sunny with light offshore winds, the wave quality was world class, and perfect for intermediates and improvers. Plenty of head high waves with the occasional bigger set, there was enough waves for everyone to have a great session. Tourists are slowly returning to Bali since they reduced the quarantine requirements, but still plenty of elbow room in the line up, and today was the day to fill your boots with good waves. Swell forecast to be a bit smaller tomorrow, and by the end of the week, south coast breaks will be the place to get overhead waves.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Perfect conditions for intermediate surfers at Bali’s premier surf spot today. It is a common misunderstanding that November is wet and onshore on the west coast of the Bukit. Winds are light and variable this time of year and you can get clean conditions on East, West and South coasts. When the swell is tiny, the south coast if the place for bigger waves, but Uluwatu was perfect today for your average surfer who wants to ride long, clean, head high waves. Hot and sunny.

Advanced surf guiding at Nyang Nyang
★★★★★

Very small surf today on the west coast, so we decided to cruise down to Nyang Nyang, which is always bigger than Uluwatu. During the dry season, Nyang Nyang is very wind exposed to the trade winds, but today the wind was very light. Set waves were well overhead and quite powerful. Makes a change to go right after surfing mostly lefts all season. We are now in the wet season, and from now until March next year, we will be varying our surfs between west, east and south coasts of Bukit.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Small today by Uluwatu standards, but many head high waves, and very clean conditions. Today was perfect for novice-intermediate surfers to get accustomed to riding a reef break. Reef breaks are so much better than beach breaks, as the waves are more predictable, and the rides tend to be longer. Ride time is very important to improve, and today was perfect for improvers, as many long rides, and light crowds. On a day like this, the best surfers tend to take a day off, so it was mostly intermediates in the line up.
