Activity: Surf Guiding

On the island of Gods, we are blessed with warm weather and blue water year-round. Not only that but also great waves and beautiful beaches. Balangan is one of them, a beach that offers something for everyone. No matter if you surf or not, here you will be amazed by the scenery
and nature.

For surfers, this is one of the best places to learn and have fun at. The waves are perfect for intermediates when it’s small and advanced surfers when the waves get bigger. Today was great for our intermediate group. The gentle breaking peaks offered long and clean rides where you could practice turning very well. On Thursday a new, bigger swell will arrive and everyone is excited to explore more of the waves Bali has to offer.

Uluwatu was great today for our intermediate group. The waves were shoulder-high but clean and very fun to surf. Perfect to practice take-off and generating speed down the line. Surprisingly, the crowd was light and it was easy to catch waves.

With the higher tide coming in fast, the waves got a little bigger, but we already had a great session and we are now looking forward to the afternoon to surf again. We expect the conditions to be the same and everyone is excited to go out again to get more waves. Surfing Uluwatu for the first time is a big accomplishment. When you get used to the waves here, you will improve your surfing skills dramatically.

A rainy morning does not have to make you sad or lazy. Here in Bali, it often means great waves and fewer people in the water! A good opportunity to have a fun surfing session to start the day in paradise.

The swell forecast predicts smaller waves for the next few days, but a new, bigger swell is about to arrive on Thursday. Until then we will enjoy our home spot Padang Padang as well as Uluwatu and Balangan. When the new swell arrives, other spots like Toro Toro and Dreamland will be on fire again. So many surf breaks to choose from, and with our local knowledge, we always know what the best spot is for the day’s conditions.

What a great afternoon session our advanced group had today! Head-high waves were breaking perfectly at Dreamland beach. The right-handers were great to practice bottom and top turns as well as generating speed around the breaking section.

This wave is not the longest, but one of the most fun! The take-off is fast and the first section of the wall is quite steep, perfect for a committed top turn. This A-frame only breaks on a low tide. When the tide gets too high the waves almost disappear. Then, the shore break on the left side of the peak gets fun. Here you can practice other maneuvers like floaters and airs. Dreamland has something for everyone, and also for the sunseekers who prefer to stay on the beach.

A new swell arrived during the night and the waves are bigger than the last two days at Padang Padang. Due to the high tide early in the morning, the conditions were challenging because of the stronger current and more powerful waves.

Nevertheless, with effort and commitment, it was possible to catch many great waves. On days like this, patience is more important than usual, because choosing the right wave is crucial to having a good ride. With the help of our professional surf instructors, you can be sure to catch the good ones even though it can be difficult to spot them.

Surf’s up and our home spot Padang Padang was very enjoyable despite the small swell today. Clean right and left-handers offered many great rides and everyone got plenty of waves. If you are looking for a place to improve your wave-catching skills, this is where you would want to be.

There are many reasons why this surf spot is so popular among beginner and intermediate surfers. One of them is that it is perfectly suitable to catch your first green waves. Not only that but also to start doing your first turns after the pop-up. The gentle breaking waves give you enough time to think about every step you do and to focus on your technique. This way, progress, and fun is guaranteed!

Balangan was super fun this morning! Clean, mellow, but long waves were breaking at this beautiful surf spot. Perfect for our intermediate group to practice catching waves and going left. The swell has dropped a little more since yesterday, but it is still big enough to get head-high sets coming through from time to time.

We expect the waves to be like this until tomorrow, then a new swell will arrive and we are looking forward to having bigger surf again. Places like Toro Toro and Airport Rights are on our list for the upcoming days. Everybody is excited and can’t wait to go out there and get some amazing rides. The high season is slowly coming to an end, but no lack of swell is in sight. Bali has waves year-round and great conditions for all surf levels.

What a beautiful morning this was today! We could not ask for more than we already had. Blue skies, crystal clear water, and perfect waves right in front of us. It was so much fun to share the waves with our friends and fellow surfers. Everyone got waves and everyone was happy.

If you are not convinced yet that surfing is for you then we highly recommend trying as soon as possible. Never go, never know, and we can guarantee that you won’t regret it. We are sure that you would want to try again and again. So many of us started the same way and got hooked right after the first surf lesson. Don’t miss out on one of the best experiences you can ever make!
