Ability Level: Beginner

We headed to our local beach of Padang Padang this morning — less than 1km away — for the first beginner private surf lesson of the day

The conditions were perfect for learning to surf with waves breaking between knee and waist high, light winds and hardly anybody else in the lineup

Elsewhere the intermediate and advanced guiding group surfed at Uluwatu where conditions were perfect late into the morning with offshore wind and chest to head-high waves.

We’re delighted that certain visas are now being issued by the Indonesian government which must be applied for in advance. We’ll be ramping up operations for our soft re-opening on 1st November, so get in contact now for more information on how you can join us for an exclusive surfing experience

There were waves for all abilities this morning at Bingin where we returned for the first session of the day

From beginner-friendly knee-high reforms on the inside through to sets breaking well overhead on the outside, there was something for everyone

After yesterday’s XL session at Padang Padang (check out the video highlights on Facebook) there was still a large swell creating some sizeable sets although the higher tide kept conditions more accessible than they typically are on the Bingin reef

As the wind drops this afternoon, there’ll likely be another low tide Padang Padang sunset session going down so we’ll see you up on the cliffs!

This morning our beginner group headed to Padang Padang — our local beach, less than 1km down the road — for their semi-private surfing lesson.

The conditions weren’t as clean as they might have been due to the light onshore wind, but the waves on offer were still perfect for a first surf lesson; breaking at around knee-high and peeling softly to the beach.

With Bali as quiet as it currently is, if you can find a way to get yourself here, there’s never been a better time to learn to surf.

Another beautiful sunrise lit the way for our beginner and intermediate group as they hopped in the boat this morning out to Toro Toro alongside the airport runway for their first session of lessons for the day.

Waves were slightly larger than yesterday and — much to the delight of everybody —  just as clean and quiet as the group all enjoyed plenty of long rides along what is one of the surf camp’s favourite waves.

As our beginner and intermediate groups jumped on the boat at Jimbaran bay this morning and made their way out to the reef at Toro Toro, they were in for a treat as the sky was lit by another stunning sunrise.

No wind and the perfect-sized swell for the group resulted in glassy waves peeling perfectly along into the channel between waist and shoulder-high.

Bali is noticeably quiet with the current travel restrictions so if you’re looking for your own slice of uncrowded perfection, this is what’s waiting for you!

It was a struggle to find some waves this morning as, unfortunately, it was one of those rare occasions where there wasn’t much in the way of swell arriving at Bali’s shores.

Our beginner and intermediate group decided to make the best of what what was available and surfed at Balangan where the sun was shining and the waves were very clean but only breaking in the knee to chest-high range on most sets.

This was perfect for our beginners but our intermediates are looking forward to the next few days when a fresh swell will be arriving to supply us with some bigger waves.

Swell size had dropped overnight but there were still plenty of waves on offer for both intermediates and beginners as our two groups headed back to Geger Left again this morning for their group and semi-private surfing lessons.

Waves were breaking in the knee to shoulder-high range and were very clean on what was a beautiful, uncrowded sunny morning of ‘wet-season’ waves here in paradise.

In a change to our original schedule, Geger Left in Nusa Dua was the spot of choice this morning for our beginner and intermediate groups’ first sessions of the day.

We had group, semi-private and private lessons all taking place this morning and everybody enjoyed the clean, uncrowded waves that were breaking between knee and waist high.
