Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Fun waves this morning! The swell has continued to drop in size and consistency since yesterday however there were plenty of fun waves to be had. Our intermediate surfers paddled out to the Race Track at Uluwatu, which is famous for its long lines and consistent waves. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and ocean was very smooth and clear for the session. The waves were in the head-high range, and the conditions were very clean. The surfers who were quick to their feet were able to get some long rides.

Small wave days are still plenty of fun at Uluwatu. The waves still run beautifully down the reef, and they can continue for much longer than you would expect.

Intermediate surf guiding at Dreamland

We have a fresh bump in swell this morning with an offshore wind and cooler water temps. The new, longer-period swell brought in fast-moving and powerful waves, which will test a surfer’s skill and confidence. Our intermediate group surfed at Dreamland at first light in head-high surf with a few larger sets. As always at Dreamland, the conditions and scenery were beautiful- turquoise water, a pretty sandy beach, and the sun rising over the cliff.

The steady trade wind and cooler water temps are typical dry season conditions. The month of May generally enjoys light and variable wind in the early morning and is before the water gets cold and the swells consistently large. See you in the lineup!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

 

We are back at Uluwatu for a second session after surfing the long rides at Airport Left for our early session. There is still plenty of swell left in the water from yesterday’s big swell, but the waves are a much more manageable size. The offshore wind picked up to a moderate strength, which kept the waves open for long rides. The surf remained in the head-high to overhead range, with many smaller waves for the less experienced surfers to select from. Everyone had a great time and enjoyed the session.

The trade wind has arrived for the season, which means you can expect offshore wind nearly daily through November. There will be no shortage of swell, and some incredible days of surfing coming up.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Perfect surf at Uluwatu this morning! The waves were just the right size, the wind was light offshore, and the tide was in its ideal range, making a morning filled with waves to write home about. The sets all had several waves each, and there were plenty of smaller waves in between. The best of the rides linked up all the way to the big rock at the end of the reef!

The thing about Uluwatu is that even a small wave can run for hundreds of meters. The key is being able to select these waves from the mix, and being in the right spot at the right time. These are things you will learn when you surf with us. See you out there

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Fun waves at Balangan this morning! We enjoyed a mix of light rain and sunshine with plenty of waves to go around. The surf has picked up in size since yesterday, with some overhead set waves coming in. Our surfers stuck to the middle peak, which featured waves that were just a little smaller than the main peak. The wind was light and variable through the session, fluctuating between offshore and onshore. The faces of the waves remained clean, and the lines broke swiftly down the line. This gave the surfers a fun, medium-length ride

Now is the perfect time of the year for catching your first wave or restarting your surfing journey. The waves are just the right size, and the conditions are warm and inviting.

Pumping surf this morning! There is still plenty of swell hanging around. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and the tide was in a good range for advanced surfing. Our advanced surfers scored world-class Uluwatu lines- long, fast, and clean. The most skilled surfers in the lineup were able to tuck into some tubes while the rest of the surfers enjoyed the lengthy rides with many turn sections. Today was a great day, and we are looking forward to what is to come.

After an excellent wet season, this upcoming dry season is going to be great! The offshore wind has already arrived and the swells are picking up in frequency. We are looking forward to seeing you in the lineup!

Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan

Small wave fun at Balangan! It was a beautiful morning with the sun shining and clean conditions. Today, our beginner surfers enjoyed the opportunity to try a different break which is a level up in difficulty but very rewarding. The surf was about the same size as yesterday but the conditions were cleaner with an offshore wind and glassy wave faces. The waves were breaking perfectly along the reef at a beginner-friendly size.

Balangan has something for every surfer on their day. When small like today, it is the perfect platform for a beginner to grow beyond the sheltered cove at Padang Padang. On a head-high day, it is an intermediates’ playground with long, easy lefts. On A big day, there are barrels for the experts.

Another easy day in paradise with a head-high swell, decent conditions, and quiet season crowds! Our intermediate and advanced surfers woke up to a slightly bumpy lineup and a dropping swell, which made for a relaxed day of surfing at the world’s most consistent wave- Uluwatu. The conditions were in the process of cleaning up during the session. As always at Uluwatu, the waves were still breaking cleanly across the reef, with waves coming in many different sizes for the surfers to select from.

We are entering the perfect time of year for beginner and intermediate surfing in Bali. The swells drop to the perfect size for progression. The winds are light and variable, which makes surfing easier and makes for great surfing all over Bali.
