Ability Level: Intermediate

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.

Great to be back surfing our favourite surf spot of Uluwatu. This is always our go to spot as just 5 minutes away, and it really is the premier surf spot in Bali. Uluwatu is a very big reef with many sections and is surfable at all tides. Our favourite section is the racetrack as the ride can be incredibly long and fast.

Today was not classic Uluwatu, as there was a light onshore wind, but the wave face was clean and good wave quality. Overhead on the set, with some great rides to be had. Crowds were quite light as a lot of people will be getting their daily fix of waves on the east coast.

For many surfers, a typical morning in paradise starts with an early surf session at one of Indonesia’s best surf breaks. Crystal clear water, stunning scenery, and fun waves give you the motivation you need to get out of bed and start the day. We are blessed with very consistent surf conditions all year long, and this makes Bali one of the world’s best destinations for beginner, intermediate and advanced surfers.

Uluwatu is mostly known for its perfect, overhead waves during the peak months of July & August. But on a day like today, when the waves aren’t as powerful and big, it is a great spot for intermediate surfers who want a new challenge to improve their surfing skills. The shoulder- to head high waves are perfect for practicing bottom and top turns and if you’re lucky, you may get your first barrel.
