Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Pumping surf this morning at Dreamland! Our intermediate surfers enjoyed excellent surfing conditions! Plus-sized walls, long lines, and offshore wind! This is the perfect wave and the perfect size to step up your game in bigger conditions. The wave is not so challenging or intimidating when overhead. This affords an intermediate surfer the time and space to develop their bottom turns and improve their top turns. Additionally, the A-frame offers left and right-breaking waves, so a surfer can have their pick at what they would like to work on. Developing surfers can build upon the confidence they gain in mornings like these.

Our morning high tides are finally returning! From tomorrow, more breaks will be accessible for first-light surfing. The trend of morning high tides will hold through the end of the month.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Flawless conditions at Dreamland this morning! A predawn rain shower flattened the surface of the ocean, leaving us with glassy waves and no wind at first light! The swell has picked up in size and consistency with waves in the overhead range. This morning was a great morning for intermediate surfers to improve their confidence in overhead surf. When overhead, the waves at Dreamland are not as intimidating as waves at more the more powerful breaks such as Uluwatu and Balangan. Both the left and the right of the A-Frame were offering fun walls. The right breaks at a slower speed than the left, but long rides could be had going both ways.

we have plenty of swell incoming for the remainder of the month! The dry season is ending with a bang!

Advanced surf guiding at Dreamland

Excellent surf at Dreamland this morning! The tide was perfect for early morning waves! The swell has dropped significantly in size since yesterday; however, the waves were still up to double overhead on the largest of sets, with most sets in the overhead range. The offshore Tradewind picked up early this morning, which held the left and right walls up nicely. Our intermediate surfers chose to surf the A-frame, where they all had many fun rides. The rights were working particularly good this morning, as the lefts were running a bit fast.

Dreamland is a great place to surf when the swell picks up on a low tide. the wave is not so heavy outside of the impact zone at the A-frame, even on bigger days. See you out there.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

 

Fun waves at Balangan this morning: Lined-up walls, a touch of offshore breeze, and clear water! Wave heights have dropped since yesterday, but there was plenty of shoulder to head-high waves rolling in. The lines walled up nicely along the reef, and provided plenty of space for the surfers to ride down the line.

It is a great time of year to be in Uluwatu for early morning surfing. The air and water temperatures are beginning to creep upwards, and the Tradewind is beginning to pick up in strength later in the session. With less wind in the morning, more spots around the island are available for surfing. In late September and October, you can expect the swells to be smaller than in June, July, and August.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Small wave fun at Uluwatu this morning! There was much less swell in the water than yesterday, which is perfect for intermediate surfers. Most waves were in the shoulder-high range, with a few overhead waves mixed in for the patient and well-positioned surfers. The wind was calm, the water was crystal clear, and the dolphins were playing just beyond the breaking waves. Despite the drop in surf heights, the waves organized themselves into fun peaks to spread out the patiently waiting surfers. All of the surfers had a great time in the relaxed conditions, and a few surfers enjoyed the opportunity to paddle out through the famous cave and surf the wave for the first time.

More head-high and fun surfing ahead! Tomorrow and Wednesday are looking pretty good!

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

The swell has backed off just enough for our intermediate surfers to paddle out at the low tide A-frame at Dreamland. There were some plus-sized sets coming through, however, the waves were mostly in the overhead-range. The Tradewind picked up early this morning, Which is straight offshore at Dreamland. The surfers all paddled into waves which were larger than they were used to, motivated by the endless encouragement of the local surf instructors. Despite testing their limits, the surfers finished the challenging session with a feeling of satisfaction.

Surf lessons are a great way to overcome challenges with your surfing. If you are nervous in bigger waves or just can’t get your turns right, the help of a knowledgeable instructor watching over you will help get you to the next level.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

The ocean is full of life this morning! The surf has picked up since yesterday as we are seeing the first waves of the new swell. Our surfers were back at Dreamland bright and early to catch the low tide. The increase in swell brought a new challenge to some of the intermediate surfers, who have been surfing the break early for the last couple of days. The waves were in the overhead range for most of the session, with a few larger set waves coming occasionally. The wind was perfectly light offshore, and the ocean was smooth and glassy.

We have an XL-sized swell arriving today. Tomorrow will see double-overhead + sized waves in what is one of the largest swells of the season. Stay safe and enjoy the ride!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Small wave fun at Uluwatu this morning! Our intermediate surfers were up bright and early to catch the high-tide running waves at The Racetrack. Uluwatu always produces at least a few head-high waves; however most of the sets were in the shoulder-high range, which is a great size for intermediate surfing. The Tradewind had kicked into gear early, and the temperature was about as cool as it gets (A not too cold 26°C water/25°C air temperature). The intermediate surfers enjoyed their opportunity to surf the long, running lefts at such an iconic break in improver-friendly conditions.

Uluwatu has many faces; from the Bombie and Outside Corner on XXL days to small days like today. The versatility of this wave is a unique quality which makes Uluwatu the world’s best surfing destination.
