Ability Level: Intermediate

A new swell arrived this morning and gave us plenty of opportunities to catch waves today. Impossibles is one of the longest left-handers in Bali when everything comes together. The right tide, swell, and wind direction is necessary for the many sections to connect and for the wave to peel perfectly over the reef.

On a smaller swell, it can be tricky to make it around the next section, but it is a great training ground to practice generating speed. This is a crucial skill and it is important to master if you want to get your surfing level to the next level. It will help you not only to get around breaking sections but also to surf the waves longer and therefore have more fun.

What a great morning surf this was to start off the holiday! Shoulder-high left- and right-handers were breaking at an uncrowded spot in the south of the Bukit. Green Bowl is the place to go when the waves are small. The left works perfectly on a lower tide, while you can surf the right when the tide comes up.

The scenery is amazing and seeing Manta Rays jumping out of the water is not unusual. White sand and clear blue water make this place one of our favorite surf breaks. After the first session, you can have an ice-cold coconut on the beach and explore one of the caves down there. The way back up is a bit challenging after a long session, but totally worth it, and a good exercise!

Going to Nusa Dua was the right choice today. The west side of the Bukit was not ideal due to the strong wind from the west. This meant perfect offshore conditions on the east coast! Long and cleanly breaking left-handers were coming consistently and the many sets made it easy for everyone to catch waves.

From surfing down the line on head-high waves to pulling in the occasional barrel, there were opportunities for the advanced surfer but also the intermediate surfers. If the bigger sets were a bit too much, you could easily sit on the shoulder and wait for smaller waves to come through. This makes the spot very attractive to a wide variety of surfers. Choose a suitable peak for your level, wait for the right wave and you will be rewarded.

The south of the Bukit was the place to go today. Nyang-Nyang is the preferred choice for many surfers on smaller days. The low periodic swell was perfect for the exposed surf spot. The right-hander was peeling perfectly over the reef and many incoming sets made it easy for everyone to catch waves.

Intermediate or expert surfer, this spot has something for everyone. Even if you don’t surf, the beach and scenery are breathtaking. Crystal clear water and colorful fish await you in the line-up as well as perfectly shaped A-frames. The ice-cold coconut after the session is just the right thing to stay hydrated after a great morning surf.

Happy faces can be seen all over Bali today. The sunny weather draws many surfers out in the open to check the waves early in the morning. A smaller but still consistent swell was delivering shoulder to head-high sets at Uluwatu. Rippable, very enjoyable waves were breaking all morning long.

A surfing contest in Kuta thinned out the crowd the last couple of days. Many of the local surfers, professionals, and amateurs are participating there and leave us more opportunities to catch waves at Uluwatu. It’s amazing when you see professional surfers live in the water, but it is even better to surf uncrowded waves yourself!

Nice swell lines were on the horizon today and Uluwatu was shoulder to head high this morning. Although the conditions were not perfectly clean, the waves had good shape and were peeling over the reef nicely. The moderate crowd made it easy to catch waves and everyone out in the line-up was happy.

Waking up with sunny weather, great waves and clear water is a boost to everyone’s mood. The end of the rainy season is around the corner and we are looking forward to the first big south swell. Usually, March is a good month for both sides of the Bukit, the west and east coast. Light winds and higher period swells give plenty of surf spot options to choose from.

When it comes to consistency, Uluwatu is hard to beat. Surely the best months are from May to September, when the waves are perfect nearly every day with off-shore wind conditions, but also in the rainy season, it is one of the best surf spots in Bali. It may depend on your personal preference what you see as perfect waves, it is clear though that Uluwatu offers great waves for everyone.

As an intermediate surfer, this wave gives you an opportunity to challenge yourself and to improve your surfing skills dramatically. An advanced surfer may want to wait for the bigger sets and let you have the smaller, more user-friendly waves. Today was an exemplary day of the many faces Uluwatu can show. Head-high waves with occasionally bigger sets offered rides for all levels out there. With the right guidance and knowledge, you can pick the most suitable waves for you and your surfing level.

A very strong rain shower early in the morning kept the crowds away today. Lucky for us as we arrived at an almost empty line-up with overhead sets coming in. Fast, powerful left-breaking waves with steep walls and the occasional barrel are not unusual here. The perfect place to work on your speed-generating skills.

The lack of incoming sets is never an issue in the south of the Bukit peninsula. Its exposed southern location catches a lot of swells and even on smaller days, the size and power of the waves should not be underestimated. This is another reason why this surf spot is a favorite among some of Bali’s best surfers during the rainy season.
