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.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Our intermediate surfers enjoyed a fun-filled high tide session at Balangan, while our advanced group headed to Airport Rights. At Balangan, they had a mix of sunshine and tropical showers however, the wind remained calm to offshore, keeping the conditions clean. The swell has continued to drop in size since yesterday, with mostly shoulder-high set waves coming in at frequent intervals. The water was exceptionally clear this morning, with plenty of colourful fish and turtles swimming below your feet.

When the tide is high for our early morning sessions, Balangan and Airport Rights are excellent options.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

With a dropping swell, our intermediate surfers seized the opportunity to surf Bali’s premier wave. Paddling out through the cave, the surfers found long-running waves peeling beautifully down the reef. The waves were shoulder high on most sets, with occasional larger sets breaking wide of the main peak. The wind blew beautifully offshore, setting up for an ideal session. The surfers worked on quickly getting to their feet and down the line. If done correctly, you can be rewarded with a lengthy 300-meter ride.

The Racetrack is an excellent wave at all sizes, and it only goes flat a few days a year. Luckily we have this wave within a short drive from the camp, allowing us to be the first surf camp in the water.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate group had a fantastic morning surfing Uluwatu at first light! The conditions provided an enjoyable blend of long rides with challenging sections for the brave on the larger waves. The swell had decreased in size compared to yesterday, creating overhead lines with occasional standout sets. The wind was initially calm but gradually gained strength throughout the session. The more experienced surfers enjoyed the barreling sections over the shallower parts of the reef, while the less-seasoned surfers opted for the smaller waves.

Looking ahead, the surf forecast indicates a gradual fading of the swell over the next few days. However, there is anticipation for a new long-period swell to fill in on Saturday, June 24th. Grab a board and lets go!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate surfers recently enjoyed a delightful morning session at Uluwatu, starting at first light. The mesmerizing orange glow of the sunrise and the vivid full moon competed to create a marvelous reflection on the incoming set waves. Although the swell had slightly decreased in size compared to the previous day, most set waves were still in the head-high range, with some larger standout sets arriving for the patient surfers. At first light, the tide was just right, striking the perfect balance of easy paddling over the reef and optimal wave shape and size. The offshore trade wind blew gently, leaving the wave faces smooth as glass.

These are the conditions you can expect in June. Consistent swell, consistent sunshine, and calm mornings with the offshore trade wind picking up in the afternoon.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Our group of intermediate surfers had a fantastic time surfing the beautiful peaks at Balangan. The swell has dropped in size since yesterday, which was welcomed after yesterday’s powerful long-period swell. The surfers enjoyed sets just overhead, punctuated by numerous smaller waves for everyone’s delight. The wind had picked up to a moderate pace, while the offshore direction preserved clean wave faces. The surfers with the ability to ride high on the wave face were rewarded with long, open walls, while the improving surfers worked on generating speed by pumping the surfboard and optimizing their weight distribution.

There will be an increase in wave size tomorrow, accompanied by consistently favorable surf conditions.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

With traces of a new swell appearing in the lineup and a quickly rising tide, our intermediate surfers eagerly gathered their boards and set off for Balangan, a beloved spot among our camp members when the tide is high. At the inviting sandy shores of Balangan, they were greeted by the excellent surfing conditions you can expect in May. The incoming pulse of swell brought waves reaching head-high with occasional standout sets. The trade wind blew moderately offshore, holding the faces of the waves up that extra moment longer, allowing the surfers to make the extra sections down the line. The surfers enjoyed the long walls, and came home ready for lunch.

Today’s swell will persist until Friday before gradually diminishing on Saturday.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

Another exhilarating day of surfing awaited us at the world’s premier surfing destination. Our advanced group set off for Uluwatu early, while our intermediate group enjoyed the pristine peaks at Balangan, and our beginners rode the protected waves of Padang Padang.

At Uluwatu, the surfers wasted no time, paddling out at first light to beat the rapidly rising tide. They were greeted with flawless sheet glass conditions and elongated lines across the multiple peaks that make up Uluwatu. A gentle offshore breeze from the east added to the perfection, maintaining impeccable conditions. Although the swell continued to decrease in size for another day, the surfers enjoyed head-high set waves with the occasional standout set. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with incredible surf.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our advanced group headed to Uluwatu this morning to challenge themselves at Bali’s most famous wave. The swell has increased in size since yesterday, and the waves came in at overhead high with the occasional larger set coming in. The wind blew lightly offshore, and the rides were long. The surfers enjoyed testing themselves on the steep drops, which required paddling hard down the face of the wave to avoid being thrown with the lip.

What many people don’t know about Uluwatu is that the wave can give you the ride of your life on any given day! Perfect sets can arrive unexpectedly, and some waves can run for more than 300 meters down the reef, with many barrel and turn sections. Take advantage of the opportunity to experience the thrill of Uluwatu.
