Ability Level: Advanced

Today, our experienced surfers wasted no time and hit Dreamland at the crack of dawn, taking advantage of the morning low tide. At the nearby beach break, they were rewarded with impressive overhead A-frame lines, all under smooth and glassy conditions. Though challenging, the occasional double overhead cleanup sets added excitement for those in position outside. However, for those caught inside, it was a bit of a struggle. Despite intermittent rain and clouds, the wind held offshore, maintaining the glassy conditions throughout the session.

The remnants of yesterday’s big set waves were still visible this morning, but they’re gradually subsiding. Over the next two days, we anticipate a decrease in swell size. Yet, not to worry, as another long period, powerful swell is forecasted to arrive soon, restarting the cycle.

Our experienced surfers enjoyed exceptional surf conditions at Balangan this morning. A strong, new swell has arrived, producing powerful waves across the entire island. At Balangan, surfers faced challenging double overhead waves with offshore winds, creating ideal barrel opportunities. Mornings like these attract skilled surfers from around the world. Furthermore, the offshore wind allows for uninterrupted surfing throughout the day. These conditions provide the perfect chance to put your abilities and bravery to the test in demanding waves, with the potential to catch an incredible barrel ride.

The swell will continue to build throughout the day, gradually decreasing in size by tomorrow morning. Keep an eye out for the beginning of the Padang Padang Rip Curl Cup trials.

We enjoyed ideal dry-season surfing conditions and weather at several breaks this morning! Our advanced surfers had an exceptional time at the flawless Uluwatu, while our intermediate surfers opted for Toro-Toro and Balangan, and the beginners found their spot at Padang Padang. At Uluwatu, the surfers ripped head-head plus waves, which were breaking in long, organized lines with several barrel and turn sections on the various peaks. The advanced surfers skillfully maneuvered through the chunky sections, executing impressive tube rides and high-speed carves.

We have another large swell coming tomorrow. The big wave surfers can pull out their guns for The Bombie and Outside Corner. For the rest of us, there are several alternative spots that offer safe and enjoyable surfing conditions, even during a large swell.

A solid swell is pulsing throughout Bali this morning. The wave heights at the premier breaks are reaching double overhead plus with triple overhead sets cleaning up the line-up. Combined with a morning low tide and moderate offshore wind, these are the perfect conditions for the famous Outside Corner.

Outside Corner offers very long carvable walls and is suitable for serious big wave surfers only. The waves are much more powerful and move at a greater speed than is apparent from watching from the cliff. Getting out to the line-up beyond the breaking waves and the current is a challenge in itself, as a mistimed paddle out can result in taking large sets on the head and being pushed far down the reef.

With traces of a new swell appearing in the lineup and a quickly rising tide, our intermediate surfers eagerly gathered their boards and set off for Balangan, a beloved spot among our camp members when the tide is high. At the inviting sandy shores of Balangan, they were greeted by the excellent surfing conditions you can expect in May. The incoming pulse of swell brought waves reaching head-high with occasional standout sets. The trade wind blew moderately offshore, holding the faces of the waves up that extra moment longer, allowing the surfers to make the extra sections down the line. The surfers enjoyed the long walls, and came home ready for lunch.

Today’s swell will persist until Friday before gradually diminishing on Saturday.

Another exhilarating day of surfing awaited us at the world’s premier surfing destination. Our advanced group set off for Uluwatu early, while our intermediate group enjoyed the pristine peaks at Balangan, and our beginners rode the protected waves of Padang Padang.

At Uluwatu, the surfers wasted no time, paddling out at first light to beat the rapidly rising tide. They were greeted with flawless sheet glass conditions and elongated lines across the multiple peaks that make up Uluwatu. A gentle offshore breeze from the east added to the perfection, maintaining impeccable conditions. Although the swell continued to decrease in size for another day, the surfers enjoyed head-high set waves with the occasional standout set. Overall, it was a memorable day filled with incredible surf.

Our advanced group headed to Uluwatu this morning to challenge themselves at Bali’s most famous wave. The swell has increased in size since yesterday, and the waves came in at overhead high with the occasional larger set coming in. The wind blew lightly offshore, and the rides were long. The surfers enjoyed testing themselves on the steep drops, which required paddling hard down the face of the wave to avoid being thrown with the lip.

What many people don’t know about Uluwatu is that the wave can give you the ride of your life on any given day! Perfect sets can arrive unexpectedly, and some waves can run for more than 300 meters down the reef, with many barrel and turn sections. Take advantage of the opportunity to experience the thrill of Uluwatu.

Wonderful conditions this morning in the world’s best surfing holiday destination! Our advanced group paddled out through the famous cave at Uluwatu just as the water rose enough over the reef to paddle out to the line-up. The surfers enjoyed beautiful April early-morning conditions with a very light offshore breeze and glassy wave faces. The last of the large pulse of swell has faded away, and a new fun-sized swell has begun to fill in, with the forecast showing 3 ft. at 16 seconds from 224 degrees. The waves were in the head-high range with occasional larger sets from the new swell. The surfers worked on sharpening their top turns and cutbacks in the smooth conditions.

The new long-period swell will be filling in today. It is predicted that it will begin to show its size this afternoon while peaking tomorrow. See you out there!
