The huge swell has fully arrived overnight and most of the surf spots on the Bukit are way too big to surf today. We decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner and intermediate groups and it was great! Everyone was happy out there and surfed a lot of waves.

It is a very suitable beach to learn how to surf, but there are not always waves. Only when big swells arrive, this surf spot comes to life, and when it does shoulder-high sets are rolling in very consistently. This makes it a great spot to catch many waves and ride them as long as possible. The slow-breaking peaks are perfect to enjoy the ride and work on your surfing technique.

The new swell has arrived and will keep getting bigger throughout the day. This morning it was still a good size for our advanced group to surf at Dreamland. The A-frame in the middle of the beach is so much fun!

We got lucky, the crowd was very light, probably because most people thought it would still be too small. Good for us, as we almost had the waves to ourselves. It is a great wave to surf if you are looking to take the next step forward in your surfing career. The take-off is quite fast and exhilarating while the shoulder of the wave slows down and you have time to focus on turning. A perfect mix of excitement, practice, and fun!

That is how we start the day at Padang Padang Surf Camp, with great waves and big smiles! The swell right now is perfect for beginner and intermediate surfers who start catching green waves and going along the face of the wave. Balangan is the right match for a small swell and a high tide.

This surf spot suits every surf level. From beginner to advanced surfers, everyone can have an awesome surf session here. Just make sure you come at the right tide and a suitable swell for your surfing skills. When the swell gets big, this wave transforms from a gentle breaking to a fast-breaking hollow freight train. But on days like today, it is all about improving the basics and catching as many waves as possible.

Another great day started with a fun surf session at Padang Padang. The mellow waves were perfectly breaking and easy to ride. On days like today, progression can be made with every wave. The more time you spend on the surfboard and in the water, the better you will get.

Being patient is not easy, especially in surfing when you see all the good waves coming. But taking your time to choose that one perfect wave will pay off! One good wave is all it takes to get you smiling for the rest of the day. Here at Padang Padang, you can be sure to get more than just one wave, enough to make you smile until your next surfing holiday.

The swell turned out to be a bit bigger than expected today at our home spot Padang Padang. A more than welcomed surprise because the waves were just perfect! Left or right-handers, no matter what you prefer, you can get it here. A dream for every intermediate surfer.

It is no wonder that this spot is so popular among many surfers. The consistency and quality of the waves are second to none. There are many other great surf spots in Bali, but this is for sure one of the best to catch the first green waves and start turning left or right. It is important to be able to concentrate on the waves and your surfing technique to make good progress. Surfing in a safe environment like at Padang Padang helps you do that.

Uluwatu was a blast this morning! Fun waves and a happy crowd combined with sunny weather and blue water. Could it be any better?! Even though the waves were not that big, they were perfect for our intermediate and advanced groups.

What matters most is the shape of the wave and consistency when looking for the best surf spot to improve your surfing skills. When the tide and swell are right, Uluwatu is perfect to start surfing more challenging waves and to step up your surfing game. It is important to have professional guidance the first couple of times you surf here to get to know the spot and the different peaks. Local knowledge is key to being able to catch the best waves.

We had such a fun session this morning at Padang Padang! Perfect right-handers were peeling over the reef and the swell size was just right. Great conditions for catching the first green waves for our intermediate guests. On waves like this, progress is guaranteed!

To start going left or right on a wave, you want to have a consistently breaking peak that allows you to catch the wave and turn before it breaks in front of you. Our home break has exactly that, it is one of the best places in the world to learn how to surf. Not only is it for beginners and intermediates but also for advanced surfers who like to practice generating speed and other maneuvers. It offers a great training ground for all surf levels!

Balangan is a beautiful but also tricky wave. Knowing the right tide, swell size, and swell direction is crucial to getting good waves. Even then you need to pick your waves wisely because often they break very fast and it can be difficult to catch up.

Our local surf guides help you understand how the surf spot works and explain what you should be looking for when choosing a wave. It takes time to get to know this spot, but once you do you will have some of the best sessions of your life here. Besides that, it is also a great beach to just hang out and enjoy an ice-cold coconut with your friends.
