Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★
A solid swell is pulsing throughout Bali this morning. The wave heights at the premier breaks are reaching double overhead plus with triple overhead sets cleaning up the line-up. Combined with a morning low tide and moderate offshore wind, these are the perfect conditions for the famous Outside Corner.
Outside Corner offers very long carvable walls and is suitable for serious big wave surfers only. The waves are much more powerful and move at a greater speed than is apparent from watching from the cliff. Getting out to the line-up beyond the breaking waves and the current is a challenge in itself, as a mistimed paddle out can result in taking large sets on the head and being pushed far down the reef.
