Ability Level: Beginner

Swell size is a little smaller today, perfect size at our go to beginners spot Padang Padang rights, also known as baby Padang. We are so lucky to be located just 2 minutes from a perfect beginner wave which is never flat. The advantage of learning to surf in Bali is that the waves are consistent and high quality. It is also much easier without the restricted movement and weight of a wetsuit.

Weather is partially sunny: as always in dry season, the sunshine is interspersed with some cloud cover. Wind is light offshore which is typical for April, and perfect for surfing.

Another sunny morning in Paradise and the waves did not disappoint us! Perfect offshore wind conditions and a solid swell delivered consistently head-high sets. Great to practice catching waves and first turns on the many right or left-handers.

Although the perfect conditions attract more people, professional guidance helps you to catch waves on the right spot in the line-up. At first, this can be difficult when surfing on a new surf spot for the first time, but once you get used to it you will be catching waves yourself in no time! This is what makes Padang-Padang so special, the consistency of waves and opportunities to improve your surfing skills.

Swell size is smaller today – perfect size for beginner and intermediate surfers. This morning we took the short 2 minute ride to baby Padang, which is our go to spot for beginners and improvers. There was very little wind and a slight bump on the wave face, but very good conditions for riding your first green waves. At this size swell on a high tide, the waves break very mellow and the rides are long enough to improve your stance and balance as you progress through the ride. The wave eventually fattens out in deep water and there is a deep water channel that makes it easy to get back in the line up. Relatively uncrowded and lots of waved and fun was had by all our students.

The new swell has finally arrived and the spots around Uluwatu are on fire! Padang-Padang was a little bit more challenging than usual, but everyone had great waves. There was a bit of a crowd since most other spots were too big for the intermediate surfers, but with patience and the right guiding, it was no problem to catch good waves.

The forecast looks promising for the upcoming days, and we are excited to surf some bigger waves again. On the west and east coast, there are many more surf spots that start working when bigger swells arrive. If it is too big in the south of Bali, the east coast provides plenty of opportunities to surf uncrowded waves with your friends!

What a fun morning this was surfing at our home spot Padang-Padang! The swell was picking up a bit and the waves outside were shoulder to head-high, breaking perfectly left and right. Ideal for our intermediate and more advanced surfers. Our improving guests had a great time catching some of the smaller waves inside.

This surf spot is suitable for all levels and ages. Especially for kids and families. It is a great spot to surf and spend time in the water together. If you are lucky, you can have a friendly encounter with one of the “Dugongs” out there. These are very gentle and cute-looking sea creatures, despite their massive size. Keep your eyes open while you are looking for the incoming sets, there is more to see than just the waves.

Another sunny day in Bali with great surf conditions for our intermediate group! Shoulder high waves were coming consistently and with almost no wind at all, they were breaking perfectly. Go left or right, whatever you prefer. This wave is fun to ride and safe for everyone to learn on.

When you need a break, just take the wave all the way to the beach and get an ice-cold coconut before you paddle out again. Keep in. mind to stay hydrated, the warm weather and long surf sessions will make you thirsty. The dry season is around the corner and soon the wind conditions will switch offshore all day. We are looking forward to a great surf season again!

This is what a perfect start to your well-deserved holiday could look like! Blue, crystal clear water, sunny weather, and happy faces everywhere. Surf in the morning, have a coconut on the beach, and enjoy the scenery while taking a break. The waves are great all day and you will want to surf again later.

Not only is this surf spot like a playground, but it also is one of the best training grounds to practice pop-ups and your first turns. This wave gives plenty of time to think about the next maneuver and surfing here will elevate your skills to the next level. The forecast is looking good for the upcoming days and with the bigger swell arriving tomorrow, we are going to check out some of the other great surf spots Bali has to offer.

The waves were great this morning at our home spot Padang-Padang! Glassy conditions and perfectly shaped right-handers made everyone happy. It is no wonder why most people surf in the morning. The feeling you have when you surf on the smooth face of the wave is indescribable. You could compare it to snowboarding in powder, but more fun and exciting.

It is also the perfect surf spot to start learning how to surf and to improve your surfing level. From first-timers to advanced surfers, depending on the swell size, there are waves for everyone. It is important to know though, that the “real” Padang-Padang only comes to life when the waves are firing. On big swells and low tide, you can see the famous Balinese “pipeline” breaking behind the rock.
