Ability Level: Intermediate

It was an absolutely beautiful morning at Balangan! Our intermediate surfers left for the scenic left-hand reef before sunrise, finding a very smooth lineup with a light offshore breeze. The waves were in the head-high range, with a few larger sets of waves left over from the recent powerful swell. The waves all had a nice taper to them, which is conducive for learning to identify when to speed up to make the section and, when you have enough time to complete a turn. Everyone got plenty of waves and great photos!

We have another powerful swell arriving on Monday and Tuesday. Expect well-overhead surf, with the most exposed breaks being for expert surfers only.

Pumping surf this morning! Our intermediate surfers tested their courage with well-overhead set waves breaking at the idyllic Dreamland. The surfers sat on the A-frame peak, waiting for the set waves to come in. The lefts offered a faster ride with a steep takeoff, while the right offered a mellow ride with a slopey wall to it. The lefts were longer, especially for those able to connect the sections. The rights were easier to ride but much shorter. As always this time of year, the wind was offshore and the conditions were clean.

This swell is peaking this afternoon, leaving us with smaller surf tomorrow and Tuesday morning. Tuesday evening, another very large swell will arrive.

A fresh, new swell is here, and the surf is getting bigger by the hour. Our beginner and intermediate surfers set off for Padang Padang in search of fun, long lefts and rights. The weather was mixed, with a shifting wind and cloud cover, yet the surf conditions remained clean. The waves were in the head-high range. The rights offered a better ride, delivering beautiful tapered lines- perfect for finding the functional stance. The rights broke at a faster pace, however, reformed into a friendly soft wave, great for those just learning the feel of how to turn the board.

Tomorrow and Wednesday will see large surf. Stay safe and know your limits!

Our intermediate surfers set off before sunrise to catch the fun lefts at Balangan. With the swell dropping in size, an early high tide, and a fresh offshore breeze, the conditions were perfect for a fun morning in the lineup. The surf is down to the head-high range with a few larger sets coming in occasionally. The waves were breaking along nicely along the reef, offering the surfers fun, clean walls of water to play with. The surfers were among the first in the lineup, in time for the spectacular sunrise.

We have another big swell coming! We will begin to see the forerunning set waves tomorrow, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will see XL surf.

The first big swell of the season is now behind us however there are still plenty of pumping waves coming in. The surfers braved some bigger set waves but got some great rides on the smaller waves. The group waited patiently for the smaller, in-between waves, which offered more forgiving rides. The lefts were breaking nice and long, with a light offshore breeze. The surfers enjoyed the wide, open faces as it afforded the surfer plenty of time and space to work out correct foot placement for turning the board with control.

This swell is fading but we have another big one on the way. Until then, plenty of fun waves to be had. See you out there!

Pumping surf this morning! The Bukit is delivering exceptional waves right now, with everything from beginner waves, A-frame peaks, long, fast rides, to intense barrels available. Our intermediate surfers set off for Dreamland at first light to catch early morning left and rights at the A-Frame. The lefts offered a steeper and faster ride, while the rights peeled along at a slower pace. The wind was light offshore, the water temperature was perfect, and the conditions were clean.

We have the first extra-large swell of the season arriving tomorrow. Most spots on the Bukit will be way too large to be surfed safely. It will, however, make for great viewing from the cliff at Uluwatu.

Another dreamy day in Uluwatu! There were some larger set waves right as the session began. However, the conditions quickly eased, offering up mostly head-high surf with long rides. The tide was in the perfect range, with just the right amount of water over the reef for excellent surf conditions. The wind was light offshore, and the surface of the ocean waves was very smooth. There were some bigger and faster waves throwing barrels for the advanced surfers, with plenty of head-high and below waves for the rest of us.

Tomorrow is looking like another great day of surfing. There is a large swell on the forecast for next week. See you out there!

The swell has dropped since yesterday, but Uluwatu always manages to deliver the waves. The surf was about the same size as yesterday, however, the set waves were less consistent. The most patient surfers were able to snag the overhead set waves that came in occasionally. As always this time of the year, the wind was offshore and the weather was excellent. If you didn’t get a set wave, there were plenty of in-between waves to go for.

As you can see from the photos, the best of the waves were very high quality. Compared to most surf breaks around the world, a slow day at Uluwatu will still deliver a very fun session.
