In Bali, we are blessed with perfect surf conditions year-round. If you know where to go, you can surf clean waves almost every day. This does not mean that surfing in choppy conditions can’t be fun too! The westerly wind today made the waves a little rough and more difficult to read as usual. If you don’t mind an increase in difficulty, you will be amazed at how many waves you catch despite the windy conditions.

Less perfect conditions mean fewer crowds and therefore more opportunities to catch waves and improve your surfing skills. Navigating the surfboard in choppy water strengthens your core muscles and improves your balance on the board. Once you get used to surfing in those waves, next time when it’s clean and perfect again, your surfing skills will be on the next level.
