Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Our intermediate and advanced surfers set off for Geger Left early this morning. The weather was a challenge, but the conditions quickly cleaned up with the offshore wind organizing the surf. The surfers enjoyed mostly head-high surf with some larger, overhead set waves. There was a fun mix of both left and right-breaking waves that the surfers were able to select from. The lefts offered fast sections with barrels for the most skilled surfers. The rights were shorter but breaking at a slower pace. There was a mix of wave sizes for everyone to choose from.

The surfers enjoyed the beauty of the location with views of Mount Agung in the northeast, Nusa Lembongan and Pendida to the east, and the 5-star resorts at Nikko Beach just to the south.

More fun beginner surfing at Dreamland this morning! The conditions were very clean and the waves were breaking at an easy pace- perfect for beginner surf lessons! The wind was blowing nicely light offshore against the shoulder-high waves. The surface of the ocean was very smooth, and the water was that dreamy turquoise colour that Dreamland is famous for. Overall, it was a great session!

For beginner surfers, Dreamland is a step up in difficulty as there is no channel, and the waves break a little faster. These waves give the surfer the opportunity to ride left and right down the line a greater distance than at Padang Padang. When learning to ride the waves at Dreamland, a surfer will learn to engage their rail and get moving down the line.

Fun waves at Uluwatu this morning! We are enjoying a fine break in the wind, which allowed us access to all of the best breaks in the Uluwatu area. This morning, our intermediate surfers headed out to Uluwatu for overhead surf, with just a few surfers out. The wind was blowing lightly from the southwest, which added some texture to the lineup. Despite the wind, the waves were very fun and the session was relaxed. Nevertheless, the surfers enjoyed the long lefts with several turn and speed sections.

We are enjoying an incredible wet season this year. The wind has been light for the last several days, with many good sessions in Uluwatu and at the airport reefs. When the wind does pick, there are always offshore waves in Nusa Dua.

A trip up the coast this morning brought us to Klotok, an excellent right point break further up the highway than most surfers travel. The fresh swell was showing its power with the biggest sets reaching 1.5x + overhead. A slight onshore wind was building through the session however the surf was still very good. The waves broke in long lines down the headland at a quick pace, with a few turn sections mixed in. There were waves of various sizes coming in. You had to be careful not to be caught by the bigger set waves that would occasionally come through the lineup.

Klotok is an excellent wave that can be surfed from big to small. Similar to Keramas, it can hold a very large swell. Get out there!

Excellent surfing conditions all over Bali this morning! The wind has backed off in strength and the swell has picked up! A new, powerful swell is making an early arrival, much to the enjoyment of the surfers in Bali. Our intermediate and advanced group surfed at Geger Left this morning in pumping, up-to overhead surf with a moderate offshore wind. Thanks to the mix of swells, there were waves of all sizes, which allowed the surfers to take their pick of the size of wave they wished to surf. The waves were breaking in beautiful, tapered lines which ran at a swift pace.

The surfers worked on surfing more challenging waves, which required confidence and commitment when paddling in to the wave and a quicker pop-up. Get out there!

Fun waves at Mengiat this morning! There was plenty of wind, but the surf was pumping with a light crowd! The stiff offshore breeze allowed fun left and right peaks to form. The lefts offered a particularly fun, wedgy shape, which allowed for plenty of speed for the surfers to do their best turns. The waves were in the shoulder-high range, with a few larger waves. Most of the crowd chose to surf at Chicken Wings on the other side of the deep channel, which made the lefts and rights at Mengiat that much more appealing.

Mengiat is a less-often surfed A-frame peak breaking left and right. The wave is “peaky and bowly” due to the shallow water on the reef and deep water just beyond the reef.

Small and windy surf this morning but plenty of fun waves to be had! Our beginner group surfed at Blackstone at first light, where they enjoyed up-to shoulder-high waves with an offshore wind. The tide was just high enough for the waves to break in both directions. The offshore wind helps keep the waves up for a longer period of time before breaking. This extendes the length of the rides and gives the developing surfers more time to ride down the line.

The beach scene at Blackstone is very different than the more local scene at Padang Padang. The sounding area is groomed and cleaned (including the sand), and the shoreline is full of high-end resorts. It is a very pretty location and a fun place to surf.

The protected cove at Padang Padang offered ideal beginner surf conditions for our group of budding surfers this morning. The wave is just tucked in enough to be protected from the southwest wind, and yet it still picks up the smaller swells. Our surfers enjoyed waist-high waves, moving along at the perfect pace for finding your balance on the waves. There was a little wind farther offshore; however, the conditions were clean, with a calm sea state and smooth wave faces. The surfers enjoyed the lighter crowd- a big benefit to coming to Bali during the quiet season.

The surfers all relished the long rides and easy-breaking nature of the wave. The wave itself breaks with a remarkable consistency, which is a key factor in developing your surfing ability.
