Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate group had a fantastic morning surfing Uluwatu at first light! The conditions provided an enjoyable blend of long rides with challenging sections for the brave on the larger waves. The swell had decreased in size compared to yesterday, creating overhead lines with occasional standout sets. The wind was initially calm but gradually gained strength throughout the session. The more experienced surfers enjoyed the barreling sections over the shallower parts of the reef, while the less-seasoned surfers opted for the smaller waves.

Looking ahead, the surf forecast indicates a gradual fading of the swell over the next few days. However, there is anticipation for a new long-period swell to fill in on Saturday, June 24th. Grab a board and lets go!

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Our Intermediate surfers had a delightful morning at the picturesque peaks of Dreamland just as the sun emerged from behind the Bukit Peninsula. The swell has dropped off considerably since the day before to a much more manageable size. The waves today came in at around the head-high range on the largest of sets. As always at this time of the year, Dreamland boasted a glassy ocean surface complemented by a gentle offshore breeze. The water showcased a stunning blue hue, a result of the white sand resting on the seafloor. Surfers focused on refining their technique, capitalizing on the mellow, elongated slopes of the waves to enhance balance and control.

Tomorrow, we have the first large swell of the season arriving. Grab a seat cliffside at Uluwatu and enjoy!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate surfers recently enjoyed a delightful morning session at Uluwatu, starting at first light. The mesmerizing orange glow of the sunrise and the vivid full moon competed to create a marvelous reflection on the incoming set waves. Although the swell had slightly decreased in size compared to the previous day, most set waves were still in the head-high range, with some larger standout sets arriving for the patient surfers. At first light, the tide was just right, striking the perfect balance of easy paddling over the reef and optimal wave shape and size. The offshore trade wind blew gently, leaving the wave faces smooth as glass.

These are the conditions you can expect in June. Consistent swell, consistent sunshine, and calm mornings with the offshore trade wind picking up in the afternoon.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Our group of intermediate surfers had a fantastic time surfing the beautiful peaks at Balangan. The swell has dropped in size since yesterday, which was welcomed after yesterday’s powerful long-period swell. The surfers enjoyed sets just overhead, punctuated by numerous smaller waves for everyone’s delight. The wind had picked up to a moderate pace, while the offshore direction preserved clean wave faces. The surfers with the ability to ride high on the wave face were rewarded with long, open walls, while the improving surfers worked on generating speed by pumping the surfboard and optimizing their weight distribution.

There will be an increase in wave size tomorrow, accompanied by consistently favorable surf conditions.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

We’re stoked to report that a fresh swell has rolled in, bringing with it calm winds and sunny skies! Our intermediate group had a blast catching the low-tide peaks at Dreamland this morning. The waves have increased in size, reaching head-high on the set waves, thanks to a new 4.5 ft. swell with a period of 16 seconds coming from 218 degrees. The offshore wind provided ideal conditions, resulting in a smooth ocean surface. Surfers were treated to lengthy, pristine rides all the way to the shore.

Dreamland truly shines as a low-tide break when the swell grows larger in conjunction with a morning low tide. It’s no wonder Dreamland is one of the surf camp’s most beloved waves.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate surfers seized on the opportunity afforded to them with the dropping swell to paddle out through the iconic cave at Uluwatu this morning. The swell has backed off in size to 4 ft. at 13 seconds from 210 degrees, which is just enough for our intermediate surfers to surf the wave safely and enjoyably. The waves were in the shoulder-high range on most sets, with the occasional overhead and larger set wave coming through. The water was crystal clear, the wind blew ever so lightly offshore, and the waves were everything our surfers hoped for. The surfers worked on developing drive from their bottom turns, an essential skillset every surfer must master.

The forecast shows the swell continuing to drop for one more day, with small to moderate-sized swells present through the next week or so. Let’s go!

5-star surfing conditions all across the Uluwatu Area! Our intermediate surfers enjoyed perfect, peeling lines at Balangan this morning. Offshore wind, head-high surf, and long lines! Mornings like these are precisely why surfers across the globe travel to this small island. The forecast read 4 ft. At 14 seconds from 211 degrees, which brought in consistent head-high set waves. The lines broke perfectly across the reef, held up by the offshore wind. The surfers worked on slowing down their body movements to better understand what the waves were doing given the ideal conditions.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Our intermediate surfers set off to Balangan this morning, where they enjoyed excellent tropical surf in a stunningly beautiful location! The swell has continued to taper in size since yesterday, with the forecast reading 4 ft. at 13 seconds from 213 degrees. The waves broke around shoulder high on the sets, with occasional larger sets coming through. The wind blew offshore for the duration of the session, and the wave faces were as clean as they were blue. We waited till after breakfast for the tide to come up enough to cover the reef with this morning’s low tide of .8 meters at 6:30 AM (Benoa).

The surfers worked on improving the speed of their pop-ups and optimizing where their feet were placed on the surfboard. These are essential skills that a surfer must master before they can progress.
