The waves were very playful at Uluwatu today. Head-high sets came in every couple of minutes and the tide was just right. The strong offshore wind made it difficult to paddle into the waves, but once on them, racing down the line was pure excitement.

Due to the trade winds from the east this time of year, it is offshore all day long on the west side of the Bukit. This makes it easier to choose the right surf spot, you just need to make sure the swell and tide are right and don’t need to think about the wind too much. At the end of September and the beginning of October, the season and wind direction start to change slowly. Then the east side of Bali will be great again and we can explore the many right-handers the Island has to offer.
