Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan
★★★★★
Incredibly quiet at Uluwatu this morning. Only 4 of us in the water for the first hour on the Racetrack, and there was some excellent long rides to be had. Swell is a bit smaller than yesterday, but perfect size for Uluwatu. At 9am there was still hardly anyone out, which is unusual when the waves were this good. There was a rain shower this morning which is quite unusual this time of year. Perfect morning of surf, with light offshore winds and a few barrels.
Swell picked up overnight and was perfect size for baby Padang. Bali is never flat, and always a wave breaking at Padang Padang but on days like today, the waves are consistently breaking and plenty of waves for everyone. Padang Padang is arguably the most beautiful beach in Bali, and the surf spot is perfect for intermediate and novice surfers due to the length of ride and predictability. Bonus is a channel that makes it easy to get back out to the line up.
With small conditions in Bali at the moment, swell magnet Uluwatu is the only show in town. The tide was right for a leisurely 9am start, perfect Sunday fun day surfing. With low winds and still very little crowd density here in Uluwatu, Surf coach Koki got our intermediate standard guest A into some of the best waves and the guest are so happy and enjoy the surf this morning at Uluwatu Beach
Head high clean waves at Uluwatu today. The tide was a bit high for the racetrack to work good, so most of the action was on the peak and in the section between the peak and racetrack. Very light offshore winds and some long rides to be had. Not very powerful waves today, which is great conditions for intermediates to improve their surfing technique.
Swell dropped overnight and it was perfect size at Uluwatu for intermediates to improve their technique. Head high consistent waves with the occasional overhead sets. Uluwatu is Bali’s premier surf spot and as always we were on the racetrack section where it is possible to get the longest rides. Was very quiet in the water until around 8am and we decided to return for breakfast, but will head back again this afternoon.
