Ability Level: Intermediate

We took the camera down to Dreamland beach this evening for the sunset session where the low tide was serving up some fun little waves to end the day

Waves were breaking in the chest-high range with a medium offshore breeze keeping things nice and clean but requiring a little extra paddle-power on takeoff

With a solid swell hitting Bali today, we took a drive along the coast from Padang Padang to Dreamland to see what was going down at some of the most popular local breaks

Although the size of the swell didn’t disappoint, the wind wasn’t quite right which meant there were more turns than barrels at Bingin, a couple of big cleanup sets, and all the breaks were a little wild and unpredictable.

If and when the wind changes direction and straightens everything out later today, expect everywhere to be pumping!

In the third and final phase of the easing of Bali’s lockdown, the island will officially open its borders again for oversea tourists on September 11th.

Start planning your trip now and join us to enjoy some of the world’s best lineups, emptier than they’re likely to be for a very long time!

With the closure of several local beaches, Balangan was the only one in the area that wasn’t locked-down this morning so our intermediate group had no choice but to surf both of their lessons there today.

Although it was busier than it might otherwise have been, there were plenty of small but fun waves breaking around waist high and everybody enjoyed lots of long rides in the sunny conditions.

Tomorrow is Nyepi — Bali’s famous yearly day of silence — so we’ll see you back here in 48 hours!

The crowds continue to get smaller as Bali progressively implements social distancing measures but the waves keep on coming and our intermediate group were up at dawn to enjoy what Uluwatu was serving up this morning.

Waves were perfectly glassy and breaking between waist and head-high along the different sections of reef, providing great conditions for a range of ability levels and plenty of  long rides to go around.

With the high tide, the group are having their second lessons of the day at Greenbowl before returning to the surf camp for their delicious freshly cooked lunch.

Our intermediate group headed to Greenbowl this morning for their first session of surfing lessons where it was absolutely pumping!

The group surfed mostly out on the shoulder where the waves were breaking around shoulder-high but further up the peak there were some well overhead bombs coming through too.

With just a few other surfers in the water and glassy conditions, everybody had their pick of the waves and all had a great session.

The quiet perfect mornings at Uluwatu continue as our intermediate group headed down through the cave for their first surf session of the day today.

With only around twenty other surfers spread throughout the lineup, there were more than enough chest to shoulder-high waves for everybody to enjoy as the sets peeled down the reef.

For the second session, the tide is a little high to surf at Uluwatu again, so the group have headed to Greenbowl for their second surf lessons of the day.

The tide and light wind combined perfectly this morning for our intermediate group to enjoy a dawn session at Uluwatu for their first surf lesson of the day.

With relatively few surfers spread across Uluwatu’s different peaks, there were plenty of waves available to be enjoyed by everyone from long peeling walls on the main peak where the bigger sets were breaking along to the racetrack section which was slightly smaller but offering some barrels.

After a quick stop back at the surf camp for breakfast the group surfed their second session of the day again at Uluwatu while our beginner group surfed both sessions at Padang Padang.

Another beautiful sunrise lit the way for our beginner and intermediate group as they hopped in the boat this morning out to Toro Toro alongside the airport runway for their first session of lessons for the day.

Waves were slightly larger than yesterday and — much to the delight of everybody —  just as clean and quiet as the group all enjoyed plenty of long rides along what is one of the surf camp’s favourite waves.
