Ability Level: Intermediate

Our intermediate group were back at Uluwatu today after yesterday’s (undocumented) trip across the Bukit Peninsula to Nusa Dua. The waves were small but it was sunny and they had a peak to themselves for most of the session, and there was enough power in the set waves to have some fun and practice turns in more forgiving conditions than those that Uluwatu normally provides. The waves weren’t super clean, but they had enough fun to choose to paddle back out for a second session at Uluwatu instead of taking a rest back at the camp.

The old adage goes “the early bird catches the worm“ – and that was certainly the case for our intermediate surfers this morning who were paddling out at Uluwatu as soon as the first chinks of daylight pierced the horizon. The waves had cleaned up a little since yesterday but still retained some of their size on the sets, which were mixed with smaller runners in between. Luckily, when you have the lineup to yourself and your friends you can pick and choose which waves to paddle for and everyone found plenty of what they were looking for, whether that was a long wall to practice their backside pumping or pushing their limits on progressively bigger waves.

Solid swell this morning, and we had planned to go to bingin with bingin legend Gunung Corky but was blowing hard onshore. We decided to truck it over to Nusa Dua and surf Sril Lanka which is one of the best quality waves on the East coast. Overhead on the set and surprisingly quiet line up today. Perfect tides this morning. Moved less than 1 cm in 4 hours. Great fun session.

Great fun at Balangan today, perfect size for intermediates. It has been a long and wet rainy season, worst for a long time. March is now here and the rain is mostly behind us and we can now settle into some sunny sessions on the west coast of the bukit.

Today’s swell has picked up since yesterday. Waves were breaking shoulder to over head high with occasional double over head.

Soft offshore breeze with sunny sky after morning rain in the east coast .

There were less crowd than expected which made it even better.

The swell will mild down tomorrow and beginners might be able to surf in the inside for some stoke fun!

Nikko is one of the right hander in East Coast Bali and is a great option to go to for all levels of surfers when the swell is big everywhere else.

Waist to head high waves, soft offshore wind and blue sky this morning made the surfers want to grab their surfboard and paddle out to get some waves.

You can surf Nikko for a more soft wave though you’ll spot the crowd and if you’re confident with your surfing abilities you can head to Pandawa for bigger waves and less crowd.

After days of rain in the bukit, the skies have finally cleared up showing sunny blue sky.

Today’s waves were breaking shoulder to over head high with soft on-shore winds.

Stoke that more swell is on the way, surfing for days!

January is behind us and we’re now in to February with sunshine and waves, light winds and fair surfing conditions.

Today we went to one of Bali’s premier east-coast surf breaks — Sri Lanka — consistent head-high waves and lots of fun!
