The east coast of Bali, with its white-sand beaches and crystal clear water, is often overlooked by the everyday surfer who prefers to stay close to the hotspots like Canggu and Uluwatu. Especially in the rainy season, it is worth the drive to the other side of the Bukit, because of the offshore wind conditions.

When the waves are huge, you can find sheltered spots if you don’t like triple overhead bombs getting on your head. If it’s smaller like today, there are plenty of more exposed surf spots with fewer crowds and lots of waves. This particular left is situated right next to a mushroom-shaped rock. You can find multiple peaks here, from left to right breaking waves, everything is on offer. Today the left was the best choice and everyone got their fix of waves for the day.
