Finding a good and uncrowded right-hander on the west coast of Bali can be difficult sometimes. Knowing where to go with a certain tide level and swell direction can be a huge advantage to other surfers. Our local surf guides know the best times and surf spots for all tide and swell conditions.

This right-hander close to the airport was perfect today early in the morning. With the high tide, the waves stay open perfectly and you can get some of the longest rides in Bali. Long, clean walls and steep sections make this wave so fun to surf. With a bigger swell, barrels are not uncommon here, but today it was all about turns, generating speed, and having fun in the water. A dream for all regular footers in the land of the lefts.

What a fun session at Uluwatu this afternoon! Shoulder to head-high sets came in consistently and the section at race tracks was working perfectly. Long, clean walls invited you to race down the line and do big turns off the top.

Tomorrow we expect the swell to be the same size as today, but on Thursday a new, bigger swell will arrive. We are looking forward to surfing Toro-Toro again after tomorrow and hopefully, the waves will be big enough to go to Honeymoon again. Until then, Uluwatu stays on top of our list as there is hardly a more consistent spot on the Bukit.

The waves at Padang Padang were beautiful this morning! Perfectly breaking left and right-handers made everybody very happy. Waking up early to go surfing is what we do on a daily basis. Catching the first waves with the rising sun is magical and gets you in a good mood for the rest of the day.

The waves are a bit smaller again today, but tomorrow a new swell is expected to arrive and we are excited to surf Uluwatu and the neighboring surf spots. In the high season, with the off-shore wind blowing all day long, there are plenty of waves to choose from. You can find great waves every day no matter what your surf level is. With the local knowledge of our surf instructors, you can be sure to go to the best spots at the best times.

We are so happy to be able to enjoy Uluwatu again! After the big swell the last few days, we are back at one of our favorite surf spots. As usual, Uluwatu did not disappoint and great waves have been surfed from all our guests.

It is really a special place to be, the nature and landscape surrounding this wave are just spectacular. When you are not busy riding along the clean faces of the waves, you can see colorful fish in the water and some turtles if you’re lucky. But make sure to keep focusing on the incoming sets. It is not uncommon to be surprised by a perfect wave coming towards you.

Another great surf session with Padang Padang Surf Camp! The sun was shining, the water crystal clear and the waves were fun to play with. As the big swell is slowly fading away, our beginner and intermediate surfers can enjoy this beautiful surf spot again.

Padang Padang is well known for its perfect waves and massive barrels, but it is also a great spot for learning to surf. When the waves are smaller, a gentle breaking peak offers ideal surf conditions for beginner, intermediate and advanced surfers. You just need to know where to sit in the line-up and what waves to choose. Our professional surf instructors have all the knowledge to guide you through your first surfing experience. With them, you can be sure to be standing on the surfboard in no time and have fun in the water.

The 8-10 foot swell delivered overhead waves at Uluwatu today and having a big board was definitely an advantage. With waves like this, you want to be able to paddle fast and glide into the waves as early as possible.

Uluwatu can handle every swell size, from hip-high to double overhead, and with the right equipment and skill, there is always a surfable wave. When it gets this big, only advanced and experienced big wave surfers should go out there. Strong currents and long hold downs are serious dangers on days like today. Other surf spots like Honeymoon or Toro-Toro are more suitable and recommended for the average surfer.

The new big swell arrived this morning and Padang Padang was on fire. While some of the best surfers of Bali and the world surfed massive barrels at the Padang Padang Cup, our intermediate group enjoyed hip-high waves at Jimbaran.

It doesn’t look as spectacular as seeing someone deep in the tube, but what counts most is the fun you have while riding the wave. There is no point in surfing waves that are out of your comfort zone or ability level. Staying safe and being able to make progress while surfing is what we are looking for when choosing surf spots. This way you can fully enjoy the surf session and concentrate on improving your surfing skills.

Toro-Toro today was a blast! Fun-sized and perfectly shaped waves made this a very special morning. Everybody had a great time surfing out there and lots of improvement was made during this session. This is what a morning surf looks like at Padang-Padang Surf Camp!

Having a consistent wave to practice on will get you to the next level much quicker. This is one reason why Bali is the perfect place for beginner and intermediate surfers. One week of proper surf coaching and great waves will have a significant impact on your surfing and wave reading skills. Toro-Toro is only one of many great surf spots. Depending on the tides and surf conditions, we are choosing the best suitable spot for your surfing level.
