Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

The new swell has finally arrived and the spots around Uluwatu are on fire! Padang-Padang was a little bit more challenging than usual, but everyone had great waves. There was a bit of a crowd since most other spots were too big for the intermediate surfers, but with patience and the right guiding, it was no problem to catch good waves.

The forecast looks promising for the upcoming days, and we are excited to surf some bigger waves again. On the west and east coast, there are many more surf spots that start working when bigger swells arrive. If it is too big in the south of Bali, the east coast provides plenty of opportunities to surf uncrowded waves with your friends!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Uluwatu was the best choice today due to the small swell and high tide. Glassy conditions and shoulder-high sets delivered fun waves for everyone. Yes, there was a crowd, but with the many peaks, people spread out and you can find a spot in the line-up.

Our professional guides know where it’s best to wait for the waves. Local knowledge is key to surfing Uluwatu successfully. This wave has everything to offer. Long clean rides as well as fast-breaking barrels. Pick the right waves according to your surfing skills and you will have a great time surfing one of the best spots on the planet.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Another beautiful sunny day here in paradise island. The swell has dropped in size, but very clean conditions today at Bali’s premier surf spot. We love Uluwatu due to the quality and length of the ride. More and more people are returning to Bali, but it is still relatively quiet and the long reef at Uluwatu is excellent for spreading out the crowds.

Today was perfect for intermediate surfers as the waves were head high and not too powerful. Uluwatu can be dangerous at low tide so we always surf it between mid and high tide, when there is enough water on the reef for comfort and safety.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Practice is key to a successful surfing career. Knowing when to go and what conditions are best for your current surfing level, is equally important. Our professional guides know the best spots for the day’s conditions. Not only will it help you to improve faster, but you will also get to know how to choose the right surf spot.

Balangan was a great choice today, shoulder to head-high sets came through very consistently and the higher tide made the waves very “user-friendly” to ride. By all means, it was not perfect, but does it really matter if you have fun?! Remember, the best surfer is the one having the most fun out there!

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Balangan was a blast this morning! Clean head high sets were consistently coming in and everyone was catching waves out there. This can be a tricky wave to read, many sections make it difficult to continue the ride, but when you do, you can have one of the longest rides of your life.

The scenery is spectacular and the white sand beach invites you to have a cold drink after the surf session. It’s also perfect to relax in one of the many warungs or enjoy the sun and crystal clear water. A surf spot for all levels, depending on wave size and tides. Great for beginners with small waves and high tides. Today it was perfect for the intermediate and advanced surfers.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

What a fun morning this was surfing at our home spot Padang-Padang! The swell was picking up a bit and the waves outside were shoulder to head-high, breaking perfectly left and right. Ideal for our intermediate and more advanced surfers. Our improving guests had a great time catching some of the smaller waves inside.

This surf spot is suitable for all levels and ages. Especially for kids and families. It is a great spot to surf and spend time in the water together. If you are lucky, you can have a friendly encounter with one of the “Dugongs” out there. These are very gentle and cute-looking sea creatures, despite their massive size. Keep your eyes open while you are looking for the incoming sets, there is more to see than just the waves.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

A good size swell running today and all the spots breaking. Advanced group dawn patrolled Uluwatu. As you can see from the photos, there was some morning sickness on the face of the wave, but some bombs to be had. Padang around the corner was cleaner and smoother ,and perfect for beginners and intermediates. We plan to go back to Uluwatu this afternoon and expect it will have cleaned up.

Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang 

Another sunny day in Bali with great surf conditions for our intermediate group! Shoulder high waves were coming consistently and with almost no wind at all, they were breaking perfectly. Go left or right, whatever you prefer. This wave is fun to ride and safe for everyone to learn on.

When you need a break, just take the wave all the way to the beach and get an ice-cold coconut before you paddle out again. Keep in. mind to stay hydrated, the warm weather and long surf sessions will make you thirsty. The dry season is around the corner and soon the wind conditions will switch offshore all day. We are looking forward to a great surf season again!
