Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Unusually small swell in Bali but there are always waves to be found at Uluwatu. The season is slowly changing and instead of a consistent strong offshore wind, the wind is now light and variable. October is a good time to explore surf breaks on the south coast and east coast, which breaks up the crowds and also offers some variety of surf spots.

A light onshore wind and waves shoulder-head high but still some power and very good wave quality. It’s only very small for 1 day and tomorrow we are looking forward to a 15 second west swell.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Uluwatu was great this morning due to the slightly bigger swell that had arrived overnight. Clean, long left-handers all morning long and only a handful of other surfers out there. This is how we like to wake up, jumping into lukewarm water with perfect waves in front of us.

As the season is changing, so does the wind direction. Now, glassy conditions in the mornings are the norm and off-shore wind conditions in the afternoon and evenings. Soon, the wind direction will change and come from the west. Then, Nusa Dua and the east side of the Island will be on our radar. Many great surf spots await us there, and every regular footer will love the right-hander buffet Bali has to offer.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Uluwatu was great today! Glassy conditions with long, perfectly breaking waves were peeling over the beautiful reef all morning long. This surf spot is mesmerizing, not only because of the waves but because of its location and scenery as well.

It is a special place to surf, culture and nature come together and provide a unique setup that attracts many surfers from all over the world. If you travel to Bali, this is one of the must-dos on the Bukit. No matter if you surf or not, it is worth going to and enjoying the view. As a surfer, you will be amazed by the great waves and crystal clear water.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

After a couple of days of bigger waves, the swell has dropped and shoulder to head-high sets came consistently at Balangan this morning. Due to the very low tide at 7 am, we decided to have breakfast first and surf with the incoming tide.

When we arrived, only a few other people were out, and catching waves was easy. The session was fun and everyone had a great time. On days like this, with only a handful of other surfers in the water, you can improve a lot due to the high wave count. The more waves you catch the more progress you will make. After a well-deserved break on the beach, we decided to take advantage of the high tide and go again for another session.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

With the low tide early in the morning, there are only a handful of surf spots that are safe to surf. With the local knowledge of our surf instructors, finding these spots is no problem at all. Dreamland was the best choice today, the offshore wind shaped the head-high waves into a perfect A-frame.

Most days, the right-hander works better than the left. Due to the deepwater channel, the shoulder stays open nicely and offers plenty of room to do turns. If you are looking for a little cover-up, the left-hander is the better option, but be prepared to deal with a closeout section at the end. Either way, this wave is fun as hell and a great playground to improve your surfing skills.

Intermediate surf guiding at Toro Toro

Toro-Toro was great this morning! We arrived just after sunrise and got in the water with nobody else out there. Glassy conditions with shoulder-high sets coming in consistently. The sunny weather and the amazing waves made everyone happy.

Because of how the waves are breaking, it is the perfect spot to practice basic maneuvers like bottom and top turns. The A-frame provides right and left-handers where you can do plenty of turns. It is a surf break suitable for a wide range of surfing skills, from intermediate to advanced surfers, everyone can have a fun and progressive session here.

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Balangan did not disappoint as usual. We surfed shoulder-high, great waves all morning long. The moderate offshore wind helped the waves to stay open nicely and everyone had long, clean rides. Perfect conditions for our intermediate group to practice turns and generate speed.

This surf spot works best when the swell comes from the south. The more south, the better it gets, because the waves peel along the reef nicely and stay open much longer. Combined with the offshore wind conditions between July and September, it is one of the best and most consistent breaks in Bali. If you haven’t yet, we highly recommend coming here to enjoy the waves and beautiful beach!
