Ability Level: Intermediate

Our excellent run of surf has continued for another day! Given the ideal set of conditions, the advanced and intermediate surfers headed to the long-running lefts of Uluwatu while the beginners paddled out at Padang Padang. At Uluwatu, the swell has picked up noticeably in size since yesterday, serving up head-high + set waves for the advanced surfers. The wind blew lightly offshore, which is the ideal wind for Uluwatu as it holds the waves open while not hindering the flow of the surfboard with wind resistance. The forecast shows a swell reading of 3.5 ft. at 10 seconds from 201 degrees, which is a good size for all to have a go this iconic wave.

The long-range forecast is looking very good. The wind will be either offshore or calm, and the swell will remain in the moderate range through the end of March. Ayok!

Another excellent day of surfing here in paradise! The medium swell, light-offshore wind, and moderate tide offered favorable conditions for all breaks in the Uluwatu area and beyond. Our crew decided to spread out across the area with the beginners surfing Baby Padang, the intermediates surfing Toro-Toro, and the advanced surfers at Bingin. At Bingin, the surfers enjoyed the photogenic fast-breaking walls testing both their barrel-riding stance and courage over the shallow reef. The wind blew lightly offshore, and the conditions were sublime. The waves came in at around overhead-high with occasional standout sets. The swell read 5.5 ft. at 13 seconds from 212 degrees, which was a slight drop in size from the day before.
The Uluwatu area is the world’s best surfing destination for many reasons. From the variety of wave types, quality of waves, restaurants, and nightlife, we really do have it all!

Better than expected surfing conditions this morning at the world’s best surfing holiday destination! The swell was more consistent and had more size than the forecast suggested, much to everyone’s enjoyment. The wind was calm and the sea state was smooth and glassy. At Greenball, the pulsing sets arrived at overhead high in height, with several standout larger sets, from a swell of 3ft. at 13 seconds, from 220 degrees. The surfers enjoyed the excellent right-hand waves, which offered steep sections with beautifully glassy walls. These conditions are ideal for taking your surfing to the next level as the wave gives you the time and speed required to do explosive turns.

Tomorrow, we expect to see the first of the forerunning waves of the incoming long-period swell, and on Thursday, we expect pumping surf! Let’s go!

It was a peaceful, bright, and sunny morning here in Bali! After breakfast, our intermediate group headed to Uluwatu given the swell’s size drop. The surfers enjoyed playful, shoulder-high waves with the occasional larger set. The best of the waves ran nicely along the reef, while the wind blew moderately onshore. The surface of the ocean was left bumpy by the wind however the conditions cleaned up as the session progressed. The swell read 2.5 ft. at 12 seconds from 230 degrees on the forecast. The surfers worked on setting their fins in the bumpy conditions and picking the best waves out of the sets.

The long-range forecast looks promising as it predicts light offshore wind for the next 12 days and a pumping 6ft. at 14 seconds swell arriving on the 16th. See you out there!

Excellent intermediate-level surfing across the island today. Days like today are why people come here in the wet season. At Uluwatu, our intermediate surfers enjoyed beautifully peeling lines across the reef with glassy conditions. The waves were overhead high with the occasional larger set, coming from a swell of 3 ft. at 16 seconds from 237 degrees. The surfers worked on matching their speed to the changes in pace of the wave, and executing improved turns on open sections.

Today was the first time this year we had the combination of glassy conditions and a long-period swell. March and April should serve up many more days just like today, which is why now is the perfect time for an intermediate surfer to come to Bali. Tomorrow is looking like another great day of surf. Grab your board and let’s go!

With a dropping swell and a persistent breeze from the west, our intermediate surfers set off to Greenball for a sunrise paddle out. Greenball is infamous for its many steps but the wave is certainly worth the effort. The surfers enjoyed shoulder-high waves from a swell of 3 ft. at 11 seconds from 208 degrees. The wind blew lightly side-shore from the west, leaving the sea state lightly textured. The surfers opted to surf the playful right-breaking wave as it provided steeper sections that were the perfect platform for improving their top turns.

Given our run of small swell, we will be surfing the more exposed breaks around the island such as Greenbowl and Pandawa until the swell picks up again. These are all excellent waves and we are looking forward to surfing these less-often surfed breaks. Come join us!

With the combination of the slight pickup in the west wind and the dropping swell, our advanced surfers headed to Chicken Wings for some fun offshore waves while our beginners set off for Black Stone. Chicken Wings is a less-often surfed wave just off Pantai Geger. The swell has dropped in size to 3 ft. at 12 seconds from 205 degrees, bringing in shoulder-high set waves at the exposed right-hand reef.

The long range forecast shows that we are stuck in a run of small swell. That is not an issue here in Bali as there are several locations available to us when the swell drops. Additionally, improving surfers can use the drop in the swell to experience new breaks which on a bigger swell, would be too advanced for their level of surfing. See you out there!

Last night’s endless rain reminded us that we have not yet made it through the wet season. The rain didn’t stop our surfers as Nusa Dua can be counted on to offer fun surfing conditions this time of the year. The beginners set off to black Stone while the advanced surfers headed to Geger Left. At Geger Left, the surfers challenged themselves with excellent overhead set waves with fast walls held up by a stiff offshore wind. The swell forecast shows 3.5 ft. at 15 seconds, coming from 197 degrees, which is a good direction for the Nusa Dua area.

We have a chunky 6 ft. swell filling in tomorrow, which should send great surf to the Nusa Dua area. If it’s big enough, we can surf Sri Lanka, which is a superb right-hander that can be one of Bali’s best waves on the right day.
