Ability Level: Intermediate

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.

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.

Padang Padang is one of the most beautiful surf spots and beaches Bali has to offer. And for good reasons. White sand, lush nature and crystal clear water are only a few of them. Add the perfect waves and you get this picturesque scenery.

Beginner and intermediate surfers can learn and improve their surfing skills at Baby Padang, while more advanced surfers can get the barrels of their lives at the main peak, also called the “Balinese pipeline”. Today it was all about improving wave catching, turning and having a good time.

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.

With the new swell arriving today, more challenging surf conditions arise. Baby Padang still offers a safe and fun environment to catch your first waves and practice the basics. Here at our home spot, you can start from the very beginning and work your way up to the intermediate level.

When the waves are getting bigger, like today and in the coming days, it is very important to know where to go and when the best time is to surf. With the local knowledge of our surf instructors, you can be sure to be surfing at a safe spot with suitable conditions for your surfing skills. Only then, when you feel comfortable in the water, you can truly have fun and make progress.

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!

What a great start to the day this was at Uluwatu! Shoulder-high, clean waves, and just a few people out, this is what made everyone happy. It was fun at the racetracks section due to the lower tide. It is not an easy wave to surf, because the waves can be quite fast.

It is important to know how to generate speed down the line to be able to surf this wave. When the size of the waves is like today, it is perfect for intermediate surfers. With practice and guidance, you will be able to generate speed in no time. This is a basic skill everyone has to master, especially here in Uluwatu. No matter if you surf a shortboard or longboard, it’s a wave for everyone who likes to take on a new challenge.

The offshore wind has been strong the last couple of days but here on the Bukit, this only means better waves! This morning, Dreamland was great at low tide. The A-frame in the middle of the beach was the best peak to go to. Fun right and left-handers broke consistently over the reef.

We expect the swell to get bigger throughout the day and look forward to scoring more perfect waves in the afternoon. This is one of the great things about the Bukit at this time of year, you can surf all day long to the offshore wind. Combined with crystal clear water and white sand beaches, it is no wonder that Bali is one of the best surf destinations in the world.
