Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Another beautiful sunny day in Bali, with a very light offshore wind. The swell is smaller today, but very clean conditions and perfect for intermediate and improver surfers. On smaller days, the waves are less powerful, and slower moving, so less rushed and gives time to think about what you are doing. Very light crowd today and enough waves for everyone with quality waves breaking all the way from racetrack to the peak.

Bali is now open to international tourism and direct flights are operating from Japan (for Americans) and via Singapore (for Europeans). It is necessary to have a visa and stay 4 nights in a 5* hotel on arrival, but a price worth paying to enjoy uncrowded line ups.

Intermediate surf guiding at nyang nyang
★★★★★

The windy days are over and today was the beginning of a change in wind direction. With a light breeze continuing into the early afternoon, we decided to pay the south side of the Bukit a visit again. This surf spot favours smaller swells because of its exposed location. A perfectly right breaking wave and a small crowd was giving us many opportunities to practice turns and snaps. This peak is ultra consistent and you never have to wait long for the next set to come.

We are looking at the upcoming week with high expectations for Bali’s west side. The forecast predicts light winds throughout the week and medium swell size from the southwest. With an early low tide, you can get enough sleep and jump in the water when the tide is rising again, later in the morning.

Intermediate surf guiding at Geger
★★★★★

The westerly wind was dominating the last couple of weeks and we got to surf Nusa Dua most of the time. Due to its perfect offshore conditions, the east side of Bali is the preferred destination for many surfers during the rainy season. Clean waves and plenty of peaks make this surf spot a favourite.

Known as a swell magnet on smaller days, this spot attracts surfers of all levels and is the go-to option when it is too windy on the west side of the Bukit. This shoulder-high left-hander breaks best on a low to mid-tide. Suitable for advanced surfers who like racing down the line, but also for the intermediate level surfers who want to take the next step in their surfing career.

Intermediate surf guiding at Pandawa
★★★★★

What a great way to start your day! Clean head high sets awaited us this morning on the south coast of the Bukit. Although the forecast predicted westerly winds, the conditions were perfect. A light offshore breeze and a moderate current made this session very enjoyable.

This wave is ideal for top to bottom surfing, a skill not every surfer can master, but essential if you want to make most of your wave. If you go further down the face of the wave after the take-off, you can generate more speed out of your bottom turn. This is important for setting up a quality top turn.
