Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Another fun day of surfing in the world’s best surfing holiday destination. The swell is hanging around in the head-high range, and the offshore wind is blowing stronger than you would expect for May. The tide was lower than preferable in the morning, so our group waited till after breakfast to start their session. The waves were lining up nicely across the ree,f with both fast and slow waves coming in. The faster waves offered space to pull into the barrel or race down the line, while the slower waves served up an excellent platform to work on your cutbacks and snaps.

As we work our way into the dry season, We will begin to see stronger tradewinds and bigger swell. See you out there!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our run of fun surfing continues with another head-high day at Uluwatu. The surfers enjoyed a memorable day with offshore wind, clean surf conditions, and plenty of swell. The tide was in our preferred range from early morning, which ensured nice, long lines at the Race Track section of the wave. Plenty of waves were coming in at various sizes, allowing a surfer to select their preferred wave size.

Today was one of those days when there was something for everyone at one of the peaks that make up the lineup in Uluwatu. There were steeper and more powerful waves at the peak, fast waves at the Race Track, and less crowded waves up at Temples. See you out there!

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!

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.
