Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Another fun day of surfing in the world’s best surfing holiday destination. The swell is hanging around in the head-high range, and the offshore wind is blowing stronger than you would expect for May. The tide was lower than preferable in the morning, so our group waited till after breakfast to start their session. The waves were lining up nicely across the ree,f with both fast and slow waves coming in. The faster waves offered space to pull into the barrel or race down the line, while the slower waves served up an excellent platform to work on your cutbacks and snaps.

As we work our way into the dry season, We will begin to see stronger tradewinds and bigger swell. See you out there!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Our run of fun surfing continues with another head-high day at Uluwatu. The surfers enjoyed a memorable day with offshore wind, clean surf conditions, and plenty of swell. The tide was in our preferred range from early morning, which ensured nice, long lines at the Race Track section of the wave. Plenty of waves were coming in at various sizes, allowing a surfer to select their preferred wave size.

Today was one of those days when there was something for everyone at one of the peaks that make up the lineup in Uluwatu. There were steeper and more powerful waves at the peak, fast waves at the Race Track, and less crowded waves up at Temples. See you out there!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Balangan
★★★★★

Smaller surf this morning but plenty of great beginner waves to go around! Our beginners paddled out to Padang Padang very early, beating the sunshine and the crowds. The surf has dropped to the waist-high range, with a few bigger sets for those waiting farthest out in the lineup. The wind was light offshore, and the surface of the ocean was very clean. Small and easy days like today are perfect for correcting your technique, as the waves are moving slower than they normally would.

A developing surf can progress much faster if they focus on the fundamentals. Learning how to paddle efficiently, the functional surfing stance, and the basics of turning are key concepts that you will learn when you surf with us.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu
★★★★★

Fun waves this morning! The swell has continued to drop in size and consistency since yesterday however there were plenty of fun waves to be had. Our intermediate surfers paddled out to the Race Track at Uluwatu, which is famous for its long lines and consistent waves. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and ocean was very smooth and clear for the session. The waves were in the head-high range, and the conditions were very clean. The surfers who were quick to their feet were able to get some long rides.

Small wave days are still plenty of fun at Uluwatu. The waves still run beautifully down the reef, and they can continue for much longer than you would expect.
