Ability Level: Advanced

Our intermediate and advanced groups jumped on the boat at first light this morning and headed up to ‘Temple’ at the end of the Uluwatu reef for their first surf session of the day.

Waves were coming through in the waist to head-high range which meant they were suitable for the range of abilities across the two groups and everyone had lots of long rides in the uncrowded and glassy conditions.

After a very short rain shower this morning it’s been another glorious day of sunshine here on the Bukit and it’s only the wind direction and swell that are showing signs of the change in season so far.

Bali and surfing, these two words can be considered as a synonyms. Consistent wave whole year round is gorgeous privilege for this amazing island. Our surfers make sure of it any time they come to learn and enjoy surfing with us and they know that they will get the best surf experience here.

This early morning our Advance group enjoyed remarkable sunrise along with surf guiding at Gunung Payung beach. Conditions are perfect today, bright sunny day fresh offshore wind, waves are clean with the size chest high to head high and overhead on sets. Everybody had fun session.

One of the great things about being located on the Bukit peninsular is how easy it is to change coastline depending on swell and wind-direction, so regardless of the conditions, we’ll always find the best waves around.

Swell height had dropped overnight so it was a change of plan from the scheduled session at Uluwatu as our intermediate and advanced surfers made their way down the Greenbowl steps for their morning surf today.

Sets were hitting the Greenbowl reef in the shoulder to head-high range and all of our surfers enjoyed plenty of long rides.

It was another beautiful dawn session for our intermediate and advanced surfers this morning down the road at Uluwatu.

With the mid-tide window of opportunity coinciding with first light, our surfers were among the first in the water for their lessons and surf guiding, and everybody enjoyed lots of long rides.

Wave height was coming through in the chest to head-high range and we’re already looking forward to tomorrow morning where the swell will be a little larger than today and the tide times will be even better.

After the welcome arrival of some new swell yesterday, our intermediate and advanced groups were back at Uluwatu for this morning’s dawn patrol.

Waves were slow at times but as the session went on, they grew in size and consistency and there were plenty of waves on offer to keep everybody happy and suitably challenged.

After a slightly cloudy start to the day, the sun is beaming again and wet season continues to hold off — much to everyone’s delight!

After breakfast, our intermediate and advanced groups split and surfed at Greenball and Dreamland, while our beginners who surfed at Padang Padang this morning also had their second session at Dreamland.

It was all aboard the boat to Temples for our intermediate and advanced groups this morning as they headed out at dawn to one of our guests’ favourite spots.

Always thin on crowds due to the long walk or even longer paddle, Temples is just a short boat trip from Padang Padang and a fun way to start the day — enjoying a view of the Uluwatu coastline from a different perspective as the sun rises.

This morning the crowd was as thin as ever as waves were coming through in the shoulder-high to overhead range and everyone had their fill of long lefts before heading back to camp for breakfast.

For today’s surf report, our intermediate and advanced guiding group headed to Dreamland beach for their first surf of the day.

Arriving shortly after dawn to an empty lineup — as we often do — our surfers enjoyed their pick of the waves as they spread across the lineup. At the start of the session the set waves were breaking all the way along the beach for some long rides, and as the tide filled in, the shorebreak and inside reform started to turn on.

Waves today were breaking in the shoulder-high to overhead range and everybody had a great session with plenty of rides before the short drive back to surf camp for another delicious breakfast.

This morning’s dawn patrol saw our intermediate and advanced groups of surfers heading to Uluwatu where the swell height had increased slightly overnight. Waves were coming in clean and glassy on both the main peak and Racetracks sections and everybody enjoyed some long rides.

As well as a few who joined us for surf guiding the majority of today’s group were taking advantage of either private or semi-private lessons and benefitting from the years of knowledge reading the waves and lineup that our expert instructors have to offer.

After a breakfast refuelling stop back at the surf camp, these two groups both joined up with our other intermediate group to surf at Balangan for their second surf session of the day.
