Intermediate Surf Lessons at Toro-Toro

The crew had a wonderful time at Toro-Toro today! The swell has been gradually decreasing over the past few days, but there were still plenty of quality waves on offer. Most waves were shoulder-high, with some larger sets occasionally rolling through the lineup. Although the wind picked up from the south as the session went on, the wave faces stayed clean enough for enjoyable rides. The rights offered easy, mellow rides that often ran on for longer than you’d expect.

Toro-Toro is the surf camp’s favourite wave!  It is where intermediates can surf their perfect wave as it offers an easy take-off, breaks at a moderate pace, and can be very long.

Intermediate surf guiding at The Bukit

It was really fun surfing this morning for our beginner group! Shifting winds brought some texture to the lineup, but the rights were lining up nicely! Thanks to a pulsing swell, the surfers were able to choose their preferred size of wave to take off on. From overhead waves for the most enthusiastic of the crew, down to waist-high for the surfers just looking for a mellow ride. The waves moved at a great pace for the surfers just learning to engage their rail and get moving down the line.

The tradewind has broken down, giving way to light and variable winds. This is the time of year for surfing all over the island.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Fun waves at Dreamland this morning! A fresh new swell had arrived, delivering clean overhead lefts and rights. We had a great tide for the session, and the wind was blowing steadily offshore. The intermediates got some great waves at the A-frame, while the beginners stuck to the outside left. At the A-frame, the slower, softer rights were great for the surfers working on popping up quicker and with more control of the surfboard. The surfers with a bit more skill and experience enjoyed the faster lefts.

The waves at Dreamland are a great next step after a surfer feels confident at Padang Padang. There are several fun options which keep things to a user-friendly level.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

Fun conditions at Dreamland bright and early this morning! The shoulder-high waves were just what the surfers needed to make lasting improvements with their surfing. The wind was just offshore, the sun was shining, and the sea state was very calm. The surfers embraced the tropical conditions, catching plenty of great waves along the way. The intermediate surfers stuck to the faster left and the soft right that make up the A-frame, while the beginners surfed the soft and slow outside left.

The wide smiles on everyone’s faces showed they had a great time. You can feel the shift in the season now, with a few less people in the lineups and around the area.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

It was an exciting session this morning at Balangan with overhead waves and steady offshore winds shaping the faces nicely. The sets were consistent, with clean sections along the reef for those who selected their waves well. Surfers who positioned themselves wisely had plenty of opportunities to link multiple turns through the well-defined walls. With the size, the lineup was a bit quieter, making it easier to pick off the better waves.

A large late-season swell is arriving tonight, pushing the exposed Bukit breaks into double-overhead territory. Tomorrow, we’ll shift our focus to the more sheltered spots for fun and manageable conditions. Stay safe and ready for a solid day of surfing ahead.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Fun waves at Balangan this morning! The surf has dropped in size since yesterday, but there were plenty of clean, fun waves coming through. The surf was in the head-high range, with a few larger set waves. The rising tide was slowing down the pace of the waves, perfect for our intermediate surfers. The wind was very calm at first light, with the offshore trade wind building through the session. The surfers worked on identifying when to speed up and when to slow down, which is an essential skill for extending your rides. It was a fun, relaxed session, and everyone had a great time.

We have a powerful swell filling in now. See you out there!

Intermediate surf guiding on The Bukit

With plenty of swell in the water and a low tide at first light, our intermediate surfers set off to surf the rights at Bingin. The surf was in the head-high to overhead range at this protected wave, with Bingin firing barrels for expert surfers within view. The wind was blowing lightly offshore at the base of the cliffs, and the sea state was very clean. The surfers worked on setting their rail to get down the line as quickly as possible.

Bingin Right is a fun, sheltered break for intermediate surfers when the swell picks up and the tide is low. The wave breaks in a clearly defined spot quite softly and at a measured speed.

Intermediate surf guiding at Imposible

The swell has picked up overnight so our advanced surfers set off to surf the scenic waves at Impossibles. The surf was in the 1.5 times overhead range on the biggest of sets, with an offshore wind and a very smooth ocean. The waves with the best shape lined up for long rides, however getting these rides requires careful wave selection and the ability to move down the line quickly.

Boasting a panoramic view of the Bukit’s surf zone, the lineup at Impossibles is an incredible place to be. When big enough to break properly, you can see the sets of waves breaking at Outside Corner, Padang Padang Left, and all the way down to Dreamland and the outside of Balangan.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Excellent surf at Uluwatu this morning. The swell is picking up and the conditions were exactly what advanced surfers come here for. The tide was in a great range, the wind was offshore, and the conditions very clean. The most skillfull of the surfers were able to clock in some tube time at either of the two barrelling sections at The Racetrack. The rest of our group enjoyed long, fast rides down the reef. There were barrel sections, turn sections, overhead set waves, and smaller waves in between- something for every surfer keen on getting some excellent waves and improving their skills.

The surf will pick up in size as the day progresses. Get out there!
