Ability Level: Intermediate

Perfect surfing conditions again here in Bali, with a light offshore wind and blue skies. The swell is quite small today and just 2 people out surfing baby Padang. Just around the corner at Uluwatu, the waves were head high, and perfect for intermediate surfers. Long rides, clean waves not too powerful or fast and enough water on reef, gives intermediate surfers perfect opportunity to improve their surfing. Not having to wear a wetsuit improves the quality of the experience, and also makes surfing easier.

Today is perhaps the smallest we have ever seen Uluwatu. Hardly a ripple which is very unusual. As it was hot and sunny we wanted to get wet anyway, so headed to the nearby break of Nyang Nyang on the south coast. As you can see from the photos, it was a great day for groms. Also some head high waves to be had and clean conditions, and this is a quality wave, so not too bad a day. Swell is forecast to stay small for another week, which is highly unsusal.

Some spots on west coast of Bali today were flat, and even Uluwatu was barely rideable. Fortunately we are strategically located to easily get to all 3 coasts of the Bukit and Nyang Nyang is just 10 minutes from us. The south coast of the Bukit was the place to be to get head high waves, with the occasional overhead set. Very light winds and clean conditions. There is a new road to Nyang Nyang that makes access much easier. As you can see from the drone photo there is also an old plane parked on the cliff by a Russian businessman. This has caused some local controversy.

Very poor conditions today by Bali standards, with a very small swell and onshore wind. Uluwatu still works in an onshore wind, so there was still some waves to be had, and enough power in the wave to do some turns. Always fun to get wet, and the water is nice and warm this time of year. Tomorrow’s forecast is even smaller, and looks like we are in for a whole week of very small waves.

Another perfect day for surfing, in the world’s best, and most consistent surfing island. Sunny with light offshore winds, the wave quality was world class, and perfect for intermediates and improvers. Plenty of head high waves with the occasional bigger set, there was enough waves for everyone to have a great session. Tourists are slowly returning to Bali since they reduced the quarantine requirements, but still plenty of elbow room in the line up, and today was the day to fill your boots with good waves. Swell forecast to be a bit smaller tomorrow, and by the end of the week, south coast breaks will be the place to get overhead waves.

Perfect conditions for intermediate surfers at Bali’s premier surf spot today. It is a common misunderstanding that November is wet and onshore on the west coast of the Bukit. Winds are light and variable this time of year and you can get clean conditions on East, West and South coasts. When the swell is tiny, the south coast if the place for bigger waves, but Uluwatu was perfect today for your average surfer who wants to ride long, clean, head high waves. Hot and sunny.

Small today by Uluwatu standards, but many head high waves, and very clean conditions. Today was perfect for novice-intermediate surfers to get accustomed to riding a reef break. Reef breaks are so much better than beach breaks, as the waves are more predictable, and the rides tend to be longer. Ride time is very important to improve, and today was perfect for improvers, as many long rides, and light crowds. On a day like this, the best surfers tend to take a day off, so it was mostly intermediates in the line up.

Solid powerful swell here today at Bali’s premier surf spot. World class surfing condition with light winds and overhead waves. The peak and racetrack were firing, and was an epic session.
