The swell got smaller today and we decided to visit Uluwatu. The mid-tide in the morning was perfect for the smaller waves and long, clean left-handers were peeling over the reef. It takes a while to get used to the current and to find your landmark when you surf there for the first time. With the right guidance, you can be sure that you will be waiting in the right spot even though you are not yet familiar with the surf break.

Choosing the right peak and having a landmark is crucial for surfing in Uluwatu. There are multiple peaks on days with smaller waves and the current can take you out of position very quickly. A professional surf guide will help you to understand the mechanics of the break and how to choose the right spot in the line-up. Once you surfed the first wave in Uluwatu, it is safe to say that you surfed one of the best surf spots on the planet.

Surfing uncrowded waves is a dream, and there is nothing better than seeing your friends cheer for you when you catch the wave of the day.

With its three different peaks, there is enough wave choice for all levels. Intermediate surfers will favor the smaller days on a lower tide, while advanced surfers want to come here when the waves are bigger. Eastern winds are best and the offshore conditions will shape the main peak into a perfect A-Frame. A great wave to step up and improve your surfing skills.
