Activity: Surf Guiding

What a fun session at Uluwatu this afternoon! Shoulder to head-high sets came in consistently and the section at race tracks was working perfectly. Long, clean walls invited you to race down the line and do big turns off the top.

Tomorrow we expect the swell to be the same size as today, but on Thursday a new, bigger swell will arrive. We are looking forward to surfing Toro-Toro again after tomorrow and hopefully, the waves will be big enough to go to Honeymoon again. Until then, Uluwatu stays on top of our list as there is hardly a more consistent spot on the Bukit.

We are so happy to be able to enjoy Uluwatu again! After the big swell the last few days, we are back at one of our favorite surf spots. As usual, Uluwatu did not disappoint and great waves have been surfed from all our guests.

It is really a special place to be, the nature and landscape surrounding this wave are just spectacular. When you are not busy riding along the clean faces of the waves, you can see colorful fish in the water and some turtles if you’re lucky. But make sure to keep focusing on the incoming sets. It is not uncommon to be surprised by a perfect wave coming towards you.

The 8-10 foot swell delivered overhead waves at Uluwatu today and having a big board was definitely an advantage. With waves like this, you want to be able to paddle fast and glide into the waves as early as possible.

Uluwatu can handle every swell size, from hip-high to double overhead, and with the right equipment and skill, there is always a surfable wave. When it gets this big, only advanced and experienced big wave surfers should go out there. Strong currents and long hold downs are serious dangers on days like today. Other surf spots like Honeymoon or Toro-Toro are more suitable and recommended for the average surfer.

Toro-Toro today was a blast! Fun-sized and perfectly shaped waves made this a very special morning. Everybody had a great time surfing out there and lots of improvement was made during this session. This is what a morning surf looks like at Padang-Padang Surf Camp!

Having a consistent wave to practice on will get you to the next level much quicker. This is one reason why Bali is the perfect place for beginner and intermediate surfers. One week of proper surf coaching and great waves will have a significant impact on your surfing and wave reading skills. Toro-Toro is only one of many great surf spots. Depending on the tides and surf conditions, we are choosing the best suitable spot for your surfing level.

The new swell has arrived and we decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner group. The waves were perfect and super fun to play with. As this is a beach break, it is also very safe to get the first experience on a surfboard. An aspect that is very important to us!

Getting the basics right and a feeling for the waves and equipment is equally important. Only then you can really feel comfortable in the water and enjoy this sport to the fullest. With the help of our professional surf instructors, you will be learning these things in no time and have fun from the very beginning. From here on it will only get better!

We had a great, uncrowded morning surf today at Balangan. A more than welcome change to the hectic spots in the south of the Bukit. The conditions were not the cleanest this time due to the high tide, but the lack of other people in the water made up for it.

Many waves were caught and everyone was well exhausted after the session. The swell was dropping again a little today, but we expect the new swell to arrive very soon. Tomorrow, surely bigger waves will be on offer and we will explore other, more sheltered surf spots again. Uluwatu will be huge and places like Honeymoon and Toro-Toro will be the best choice for our intermediate and advanced groups.

The waves got bigger again and Uluwatu delivered as usual. Glassy, head-to overhead sets came in all morning. It is really astonishing how good and consistent this surf spot is. It hardly ever goes completely flat and even if it gets small, the waves are still fun and rippable.

On days like today, when there is a solid swell, Uluwatu offers some of the best waves on the Island. Clean walls and long rides provide opportunities for turns, airs and of course, barrels! The perfect spot to practice all kinds of maneuvers or just simply have fun getting the waves of your life. A truly unique place to surf and an unforgettable experience.

Padang-Padang was super fun this morning! Not as packed as usual due to the smaller swell but the waves were still great and offered perfect little barrels. It was a great session for everyone who dared to take off in shallow water.

The more advanced surfers could enjoy the Balinese pipeline whilst the beginner and intermediate surfers had fun at Baby-Padang on the other side of the channel. Not as famous as its big brother but as fun for sure if you don’t need to stand tall in a barrel. It is a great little playground for all kinds of surfers. Also, kids can have their first surfing experience without having their parents worried about a sharp reef or big waves.
