Ability Level: Advanced

A new swell has brought solid waves to Bali’s premier breaks. Expert surfers were out at Padang Padang Left, a challenging wave suitable only for top-tier surfers. Bali’s top surfers skillfully navigated the demanding conditions with a steady offshore tradewind from early morning. The tide was optimal for the wave to produce intense barrels, requiring precise execution. Surfers successfully pulled into some impressive tubes, the ultimate goal in surfing.

Despite its appearance, the wave at Padang Padang is fast, heavy, shallow, and competitive. A misjudged wave can quickly lead to a challenging situation.

Our advanced group enjoyed an incredible morning at Uluwatu. The swell had dropped to a user-friendly size, down to the head-high range with a few larger set waves. The water was exceptionally clear and warm, with the offshore trade wind blowing lighter than usual for an August morning. The perfect tide coincided with our preferred time of day to surf Uluwatu- which is just as the sun comes up over the Bukit cliffs.

The rising tide gave everyone the opportunity to surf The Racetrack and The Peak. The Racetrack offered its usual fast lines. Over at the peak, the most advanced surfers enjoyed the larger, steeper waves, with even a few surfers scoring barrels.

Our advanced surfers had an incredible morning at Uluwatu! The swell was pumping with consistent well-overhead sets pulsing through the lineup. Bali’s best surfers were out putting on a show with incredibly committed turns and skilful barrel rides. The group waited for the tide to be just right after breakfast before paddling out to the lineup. By then, the offshore wind had picked up to a moderate pace. The surfers pushed their boundaries, testing their skills and courage under the guidance of head coach Randy.

On days like these, securing a set wave can be challenging. With the help of an experienced surf guide, you can gain valuable experience in waves of consequence.

Our advanced surfers are back at Impossibles this morning chasing those incredibly long rides the wave is known for. The swell has jumped to the 1.5x overhead range with some larger sets. The wind was blowing strong offshore, which held up the waves just a little longer. With careful wave selection and a bit of luck, the surfers were able to lock into some lengthy rides.

Impossibles is a fast, racy wave that is very picturesque. There are 3 separate peaks on this wide reef, breaking up the crowds. On the right conditions, with a good size swell and offshore wind, the sections can link up for the longest rides in Bali.

More stunning surf conditions at Uluwatu this morning! The surf is still well-overhead in size with pristine conditions and just a touch of offshore wind. The waves were lining up beautifully at both The Peak and The Racetrack. The Peak was breaking much easier today compared to yesterday, with manageable take-off’s followed by fast walls for advanced surfers. Over at The Racetrack, the waves were less intense due to the higher tide, and featured long rides on the set waves.

From barrels at The Peak for advanced surfers to long lines at The Racetrack for intermediate surfers, Today’s session at Uluwatu certainly did not disappoint. We have another swell arriving tomorrow. See you in the lineup.

Another day of exceptional surfing conditions at Uluwatu! The surf has dropped in size and consistency since yesterday, but there is still lots of energy in the ocean. Over at The Peak, the well-overhead set waves were coming in fast and powerful with intense take-offs, followed by chunky barrel sections. Down at The Racetrack, the waves were feeling the effects of the higher tide, coming in smaller and less frequent than the waves at The Peak. As expected during the dry season, the wind was light offshore, and the conditions were very clean.

Uluwatu is the world’s most consistently world-class wave- day in and day out during the dry season. Come and join us!

Today is a big wave day in Bali with a very large swell lighting up the Bukit Peninsula, making the breaks in the Uluwatu area for experts only. This morning, our surfers headed out to Jimbaran’s more tucked away breaks, where they enjoyed much more user-friendly waves.

Out at Uluwatu, the big wave chargers were putting on a real show, a testament to their skill and courage. After waiting for the tide to drop enough mid-morning, the big wave chargers paddled out to macking, several times overhead Uluwatu bombs. The surfers were carving up some beautiful lines, much to the delight of the onlookers on the cliff.

The first big swell of the dry season arrived in time for sunset last night. This morning, the swell had dropped in size to the double overhead range, making for exciting surfing at Bali’s premier surf break- Uluwatu. We had some mixed weather this morning with a wind that kept changing directions. This caused a mixed sea state with bumpy waves, however there were plenty of waves that lined up nicely with clean enough faces.

The long, perfect lines may look inviting to inexperienced surfers, but the reality is that waves of this size are challenging. For advanced surfers, these waves are a real treat with many long rides and the occasional barrel. For less experienced surfers, there are plenty of protected spots to surf.
