Ability Level: Intermediate

We headed to our premier local wave this morning — Uluwatu — for the intermediate and advanced surf guiding session where the swell had dropped slightly overnight.

Conditions were clean and waves were generally breaking between chest and head-high with light variable winds

A new medium/large higher-period swell will be filling overnight which should provide us with even more swell and options for tomorrow

The conditions for this morning’s intermediate surf guiding session weren’t quite up the very high standards we’re accustomed to here in Bali

Up the road, Uluwatu had a little too much size, so we tried our luck at Impossibles where there wasn’t quite enough swell for it to be a five-star day and the changeable wind direction took off another star.

Having said that, there were few people in the water and even though the waves weren’t perfectly clean, there were some long racey walls on offer and plenty of waves for everyone.

Yesterday’s swell had dropped significantly overnight but there were plenty of waves on offer and only three other surfers in the water when our intermediate and advanced guiding group paddled out at Impossibles for the late morning session

Waves were breaking around head-high and improved in quality as the tide pulled out with long racy walls in the sun for everyone to enjoy

The swell is expected to fade further overnight but there will be plenty around tomorrow still for all of the premier breaks in the local area to be firing again

Everybody was eagerly awaiting the arrival of this morning’s new swell. At dawn there still wasn’t much showing but by mid-morning, waves had started picking up for our advanced group’s session at Uluwatu

At the start of the session there was fun waves running down the reef around chest-high but a couple of hours later, the swell had increased significantly with clean conditions, long powerful waves and plenty of barrels being enjoyed well into the afternoon.

With the swell continuing to build, we’ll be heading for some more sheltered breaks tomorrow and there will be plenty of options available for the beginners and intermediates too

With the last ripples of a fading swell, the options for the intermediate and advanced surfing group were limited this morning so we headed to Greenbowl — one of the south coast’s swell magnets — to make the best of the conditions

Due to light variable winds the conditions weren’t perfectly clean, but there were plenty of waves between waist and shoulder high breaking both left and right along the reef

With a new swell arriving tomorrow and building through the day, it should mark the start of another great week of waves ahead

Our intermediate surfing group returned to Uluwatu this morning for the day’s first surf where wave height was smaller than the previous day.

It was the perfect morning for building confidence in what can be an intimidating surf spot as waves were breaking without as much power as normal, between waist and shoulder high.

We’re expecting the swell height to fade further in to tomorrow so it might even be possible for the beginners to give world-famous Uluwatu a try for themselves.

We returned to Uluwatu this morning where conditions were great for both intermediate and advanced surfers.

Waves were breaking around shoulder high with a few larger ones sneaking through and the very light morning wind ensured the conditions were perfectly glassy with plenty of waves to go around.

After an overnight downpour the skies cleared to reveal a beautifully clear and still morning which resulting in some perfectly glassy and clean waves at Dreamland beach.

Waves were breaking in the shoulder to head high range with light offshore winds, and which kept the waves very clean and there were plenty of long glassy waves for everyone to enjoy this sunrise session.
