Ability Level: Intermediate

Toro-Toro was an absolute blast this morning! Great waves and great company in the water made everybody happy. When the swell is too big for most of the surf spots in the Bukit, Toro-Toro offers a suitable training ground for intermediate surfers.

The waves are fun, but still challenging enough to push yourself to the next level. The clean right-handers are perfect to practice turns and generating speed. The big channel makes it easy to paddle back to the line-up after a long ride. What makes it even more fun is that you need a boat to get out and back to the beach. This is something you won’t do every day and therefore is a wonderful experience to have.

Medium size swell and perfect tide with lights winds. No brainer to go to the most fun wave in Bali. Not just 1 channel but 2 channels, and a clearly defined A frame peak breaking left and right. Just us this morning, was the icing on the cake. So much fun on the fun boat which drops you right on the spot. Perfect easy long rides and easy paddle back….

The swell is smaller today – perfect size at Balangan for Intermediates. Light offshore winds and plenty of sunshine. Very big spring tides now in Bali, and Balangan is one of the better spots for holding a high tide. As always at Balangan, wave selection is key. The best ones don’t have a very long line that will run too fast. Mostly head high fun sized waves perfect for racing sections and making turns. Tomorrow the swell is forecast to be a little bit bigger with a massive 2.9 metre tide.

Again, a beautiful day with perfect waves at Balangan! The blue water and long clean left-handers put a smile on everybody’s face out there this morning. A solid 5-foot swell was delivering set after set and no one had to wait for more than a couple of minutes for the next wave.

We are expecting the swell to continue to rise in the next couple of days. Balangan, Uluwatu and other spots like Impossibles and Bingin will be on fire. The tide is low in the morning, so sleeping an hour longer might be a good idea before heading out to surf with the incoming tide. As the wind changed offshore already, you can pretty much surf all day long.

The swell was picking up again and we decided to pay the famous Kuta Beach a visit. Although this is a beach break and the waves are usually much softer than the ones down south in the Bukit, for beginners and intermediate surfers who are just starting to catch waves, it is perfect.

Especially for kids, it is a great wave to play with. For practicing pop-ups, this is probably the best spot to do it. The sandy bottom is very safe and you don’t need to worry about where to get out of the water if you get tired. Just take the next wave and you are on the beach again. White water or green waves, choose the right ones for your surfing level and you will have a great time!

Bali keeps offering perfect surf conditions every morning! Today we decided to check out Balangan and we did not get disappointed. Offshore wind and shoulder to head-high sets came consistently. The crystal clear water made the waves look even better.

This is a more challenging wave than Padang-Padang. Its fast pace and steep walls are perfect to generate speed and try more vertical turns. Once on the wave, you will be surprised by how fast it can get. A feeling that is indescribable and needs to be experienced firsthand. It is addictive, fun, and exciting to surf these clean, long left-handers.

Progress comes from practice and repetition. Padang-Padang offers great surfing conditions year-round where you can improve your surfing skills faster than you might think. This wave is great for beginner and intermediate surfers, but also for the advanced.

The wide channel makes it easy to paddle back to the line-up again, and therefore catch many waves. You can go left or right on a wave, depending on what you prefer. A couple of surf sessions with professional surf instructors will get you to the next level and ready to explore more of Bali’s surfing culture.

Uluwatu was the preferred spot to go today for many surfers on the Bukit. The smaller swell and low to mid-tide in the morning were perfect for the race-track section. Long, clean left-handers were peeling over the reef and there was plenty of time to practice bottom and top turns.

Another reason why Uluwatu is so popular is the scenery and nature that surround this world-class surfing spot. Sitting in the line-up and waiting for the next set to come while looking at the huge cliffs in front of you, is something you don’t experience every day. Add the fact that this is one of the best waves on the planet and you know why a trip to Uluwatu is so special.
