Activity: Surf Guiding

With the new swell arriving today, more challenging surf conditions arise. Baby Padang still offers a safe and fun environment to catch your first waves and practice the basics. Here at our home spot, you can start from the very beginning and work your way up to the intermediate level.

When the waves are getting bigger, like today and in the coming days, it is very important to know where to go and when the best time is to surf. With the local knowledge of our surf instructors, you can be sure to be surfing at a safe spot with suitable conditions for your surfing skills. Only then, when you feel comfortable in the water, you can truly have fun and make progress.

Balangan did not disappoint as usual. We surfed shoulder-high, great waves all morning long. The moderate offshore wind helped the waves to stay open nicely and everyone had long, clean rides. Perfect conditions for our intermediate group to practice turns and generate speed.

This surf spot works best when the swell comes from the south. The more south, the better it gets, because the waves peel along the reef nicely and stay open much longer. Combined with the offshore wind conditions between July and September, it is one of the best and most consistent breaks in Bali. If you haven’t yet, we highly recommend coming here to enjoy the waves and beautiful beach!

What a great start to the day this was at Uluwatu! Shoulder-high, clean waves, and just a few people out, this is what made everyone happy. It was fun at the racetracks section due to the lower tide. It is not an easy wave to surf, because the waves can be quite fast.

It is important to know how to generate speed down the line to be able to surf this wave. When the size of the waves is like today, it is perfect for intermediate surfers. With practice and guidance, you will be able to generate speed in no time. This is a basic skill everyone has to master, especially here in Uluwatu. No matter if you surf a shortboard or longboard, it’s a wave for everyone who likes to take on a new challenge.

Our advanced group had a great session today at Uluwatu! Clean, long left-handers were breaking consistently and the tide was just right. Most surfers went early in the morning today, but we chose to do our second session at Uluwatu just before lunchtime.

This way we were able to be in the water with fewer other people and had the chance to catch more waves. Just make sure you put enough sunblock on when you go around this time. The conditions are great all day long, but often, during this time it is less busy as most people surf in the morning and evening. When you know where and when to go, amazing waves can be found every day.

The offshore wind has been strong the last couple of days but here on the Bukit, this only means better waves! This morning, Dreamland was great at low tide. The A-frame in the middle of the beach was the best peak to go to. Fun right and left-handers broke consistently over the reef.

We expect the swell to get bigger throughout the day and look forward to scoring more perfect waves in the afternoon. This is one of the great things about the Bukit at this time of year, you can surf all day long to the offshore wind. Combined with crystal clear water and white sand beaches, it is no wonder that Bali is one of the best surf destinations in the world.

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.
