Activity: Surf Guiding

Dreamland delivered another excellent session this morning with clean, overhead waves breaking in well-organized lefts and rights. Light, variable winds and smooth ocean conditions set the stage for our intermediate surfers to challenge themselves and build confidence in the overhead surf. Dreamland’s A-frame peaks provide a forgiving setup, as the waves break with a slower, manageable pace down the line, even as the size increases.

For surfers looking to step up from Padang Padang, Dreamland is an ideal next spot. It hosts a variety of wave options catering to those ready to advance their skills while still maintaining a user-friendly experience.

Another excellent morning in surfing paradise! A fresh swell has brought pumping surf to Bali’s reefs and beaches. With light and variable winds, surfers spread out all across the island. Uluwatu was the highlight today, offering consistent head-high sets with a light offshore wind and long, clean lines. Our intermediate surfers found smaller in-between waves, while the advanced surfers chased the overhead sets.

We are approaching that time of year when we begin to shift the breaks we surf. Soon, we will swap Uluwatu with Chicken Wings and Geger Left, and Padang Padang with Blackstone. As always in Bali, it is forever offshore somewhere.

Fun waves this morning! Our intermediate surfers paddled out to the Race Track at Uluwatu, famous for its long lines and consistent waves. The swell has continued to drop in size and consistency since yesterday. The biggest set waves were in the head-high range, with the rest being waist to shoulder-high. The session began with a light offshore wind, before shifting to coming from the south.

We are in the perfect time of year for beginner and intermediate surfing in Bali. The swells drop to an easier size for improving on the basics. The winds are light and variable, allowing us to surf at all of our favourite breaks.

Uluwatu served up fun waves this morning! Early risers enjoyed near-empty lineups, with our crew catching waves at first light. Despite the fading swell, plenty of waves rolled through, including a few head-high sets. Conditions were clean, and a light offshore breeze held up the wave faces just a little longer, allowing for two or three turns before reaching a heavy end section that most surfers were advised to steer clear of.

Surf is expected to be smaller on Monday and Tuesday, but starting Wednesday, a solid swell is forecasted to bring consistent waves for the week ahead.

It was really fun surfing this morning for our beginner group! Shifting winds brought some texture to the lineup, but the rights were lining up nicely! Thanks to a pulsing swell, the surfers were able to choose their preferred size of wave to take off on. From overhead waves for the most enthusiastic of the crew, down to waist-high for the surfers just looking for a mellow ride. The waves moved at a great pace for the surfers just learning to engage their rail and get moving down the line.

The tradewind has broken down, giving way to light and variable winds. This is the time of year for surfing all over the island.

Fun waves at Dreamland this morning! A fresh new swell had arrived, delivering clean overhead lefts and rights. We had a great tide for the session, and the wind was blowing steadily offshore. The intermediates got some great waves at the A-frame, while the beginners stuck to the outside left. At the A-frame, the slower, softer rights were great for the surfers working on popping up quicker and with more control of the surfboard. The surfers with a bit more skill and experience enjoyed the faster lefts.

The waves at Dreamland are a great next step after a surfer feels confident at Padang Padang. There are several fun options which keep things to a user-friendly level.

Today was another big wave day in Bali! The biggest swell of the year began to fill in yesterday and peaked overnight. This morning, Uluwatu was for the waterman on massive boards and chargers getting towed into bombs behind jet skis. The wind was moderately offshore, and the tide was moving quickly, thanks to a full moon this evening. A few surfers tackled the Bombie, challenging themselves on critical, fast walls that are known to close out at any moment. Others choose the long lines of Outside Corner, making the challenging conditions look easy.

As we approach the end of the dry season, this is likely the final XL swell of the year.

Incredible surf at Balangan this morning! The surf was absolutely firing, with glassy waves and just the right amount of offshore wind for some Balinese perfection. The intermediate surfers were pushing their limits in these epic conditions, with the promise of barrels keeping everyone motivated. The waves were overhead, and consistent sets rolled through the lineup. There were tons of barrels for the committed surfers, plus long, fast rides for the rest of the crew.

Check out the photos to see why today was one of those magical days that make the long flights worth it! More perfect surf is on the way, so see you out there!
