Ability Level: Intermediate

We are so happy to be able to enjoy Uluwatu again! After the big swell the last few days, we are back at one of our favorite surf spots. As usual, Uluwatu did not disappoint and great waves have been surfed from all our guests.

It is really a special place to be, the nature and landscape surrounding this wave are just spectacular. When you are not busy riding along the clean faces of the waves, you can see colorful fish in the water and some turtles if you’re lucky. But make sure to keep focusing on the incoming sets. It is not uncommon to be surprised by a perfect wave coming towards you.

Toro-Toro today was a blast! Fun-sized and perfectly shaped waves made this a very special morning. Everybody had a great time surfing out there and lots of improvement was made during this session. This is what a morning surf looks like at Padang-Padang Surf Camp!

Having a consistent wave to practice on will get you to the next level much quicker. This is one reason why Bali is the perfect place for beginner and intermediate surfers. One week of proper surf coaching and great waves will have a significant impact on your surfing and wave reading skills. Toro-Toro is only one of many great surf spots. Depending on the tides and surf conditions, we are choosing the best suitable spot for your surfing level.

We had a great, uncrowded morning surf today at Balangan. A more than welcome change to the hectic spots in the south of the Bukit. The conditions were not the cleanest this time due to the high tide, but the lack of other people in the water made up for it.

Many waves were caught and everyone was well exhausted after the session. The swell was dropping again a little today, but we expect the new swell to arrive very soon. Tomorrow, surely bigger waves will be on offer and we will explore other, more sheltered surf spots again. Uluwatu will be huge and places like Honeymoon and Toro-Toro will be the best choice for our intermediate and advanced groups.

Padang-Padang was super fun this morning! Not as packed as usual due to the smaller swell but the waves were still great and offered perfect little barrels. It was a great session for everyone who dared to take off in shallow water.

The more advanced surfers could enjoy the Balinese pipeline whilst the beginner and intermediate surfers had fun at Baby-Padang on the other side of the channel. Not as famous as its big brother but as fun for sure if you don’t need to stand tall in a barrel. It is a great little playground for all kinds of surfers. Also, kids can have their first surfing experience without having their parents worried about a sharp reef or big waves.

Surfing Uluwatu was such a pleasure today! Great waves and great company in the water made this session really special. The shoulder-high sets were perfect to practice turns and generating speed on the clean walls of the waves.

Consistency is key to quicker progress. Having good waves every day helps you get better so much faster. We are definitely spoiled here in Bali when it comes to the quality of waves. Once surfed here, it is hard to find a better, more consistent place. So much variety of world-class surf spots all over the island attracts not only the best surfers but also the ones who like to learn and improve.

Uluwatu was great at low tide this morning! The waves at “Race-tracks” were peeling perfectly over the shallow reef. Getting barreled was on top of the list for many surfers out there and many achieved their goals doing so.

Not only barrels but also big turns and snaps were possible to do on the clean, long walls of this wave. This section of Uluwatu is called “Race-tracks” for a good reason. Its fast pace is hard to keep up with and being able to navigate through the tube is essential if you want to surf it all the way. If you manage to do so, be ready for a long paddle back while you watch others getting the rides of their lives.

Another big swell has hit the Island and one of our favorite surf spots delivered great waves as expected. Shoulder-high left-handers were breaking consistently this morning at Honeymoon. An easy-going line-up with friendly people made the session even more fun than it already was.

The forecast is looking good for the rest of the day, with a dropping tide in the afternoon, spots like Impossibles and Padang-Padang will be on fire. A good opportunity to watch the pros and local heroes surf massive barrels at Bali’s pipeline. Tomorrow, the swell is about to drop a little again and the next few days look like we will be scoring waves at Uluwatu again.

We were up before the dawn this morning to get an early start at Bali’s premier surf break. It was well worth the effort to beat the crowd and get some epic waves before breakfast. Perfect tide for the Racetrack and overhead clean waves breaking all the way down to the big rock. A few barrels to be had, lots of turns and some very fast sections. Light offshore wind and partially sunny. Tomorrow another solid swell is forecast to light up all of Bali’s breaks.
