Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Our Intermediate surfers had a delightful morning at the picturesque peaks of Dreamland just as the sun emerged from behind the Bukit Peninsula. The swell has dropped off considerably since the day before to a much more manageable size. The waves today came in at around the head-high range on the largest of sets. As always at this time of the year, Dreamland boasted a glassy ocean surface complemented by a gentle offshore breeze. The water showcased a stunning blue hue, a result of the white sand resting on the seafloor. Surfers focused on refining their technique, capitalizing on the mellow, elongated slopes of the waves to enhance balance and control.

Tomorrow, we have the first large swell of the season arriving. Grab a seat cliffside at Uluwatu and enjoy!

Our intermediate surfers recently enjoyed a delightful morning session at Uluwatu, starting at first light. The mesmerizing orange glow of the sunrise and the vivid full moon competed to create a marvelous reflection on the incoming set waves. Although the swell had slightly decreased in size compared to the previous day, most set waves were still in the head-high range, with some larger standout sets arriving for the patient surfers. At first light, the tide was just right, striking the perfect balance of easy paddling over the reef and optimal wave shape and size. The offshore trade wind blew gently, leaving the wave faces smooth as glass.

These are the conditions you can expect in June. Consistent swell, consistent sunshine, and calm mornings with the offshore trade wind picking up in the afternoon.

Our group of beginner surfers had an excellent morning at Baby Padang, the camp’s favorite wave for beginners. The swell had increased in size since yesterday, and we saw some impressive head-high sets rolling in. This provided an opportunity for the more daring beginners to challenge themselves on the larger waves, while the cautious ones waited for the smaller set waves. Despite a passing rain shower, the wind remained offshore throughout the session, resulting in clean conditions. The surfers were delighted by the variety in wave sizes, allowing each of them to select their ideal wave.

Looking ahead, the long-range forecast indicates back-to-back large swells arriving beginning on June 7th.

Our group of intermediate surfers had a fantastic time surfing the beautiful peaks at Balangan. The swell has dropped in size since yesterday, which was welcomed after yesterday’s powerful long-period swell. The surfers enjoyed sets just overhead, punctuated by numerous smaller waves for everyone’s delight. The wind had picked up to a moderate pace, while the offshore direction preserved clean wave faces. The surfers with the ability to ride high on the wave face were rewarded with long, open walls, while the improving surfers worked on generating speed by pumping the surfboard and optimizing their weight distribution.

There will be an increase in wave size tomorrow, accompanied by consistently favorable surf conditions.

Our group of beginner surfers had a fantastic morning at Baby Padang. The surfing conditions were perfect for inspiring surfers. The swell had slightly decreased in size compared to the previous day, with the best sets were in the shoulder-to-head high range. As always during this time of year, the wind was blowing very lightly, which is ideal for beginners. The conditions were clean and smooth, and the waves broke at Baby Padang’s optimal speed, allowing for long rides across the reef.

During the session, the surfers focused on mastering the control of their surfboards from the top of the wave, a crucial skill for progressing to the next level. The key to achieving this added control is to pop up into the functional stance.

Crystal clear conditions this morning at the scenic waves at Padang Padang. The predicted swell did not arrive as per the forecast; however, there were plenty of long lines for our beginner surfers to enjoy. The waist-high waves moved at a leisurely pace, and the glassy surface conditions remained undisturbed by the absence of wind. The surfers utilized their session to work on trimming down the line on the faster left-breaking waves, and staying in the pocket on the slower right-breaking waves.

On a small day like today, surfing evolves into an aquarium experience, with vibrant and colorful fish swimming beneath you. As the sun rises and before the trade wind picks up, the water is at its clearest. Just one of the many reasons to tag along for a surf lesson.

With traces of a new swell appearing in the lineup and a quickly rising tide, our intermediate surfers eagerly gathered their boards and set off for Balangan, a beloved spot among our camp members when the tide is high. At the inviting sandy shores of Balangan, they were greeted by the excellent surfing conditions you can expect in May. The incoming pulse of swell brought waves reaching head-high with occasional standout sets. The trade wind blew moderately offshore, holding the faces of the waves up that extra moment longer, allowing the surfers to make the extra sections down the line. The surfers enjoyed the long walls, and came home ready for lunch.

Today’s swell will persist until Friday before gradually diminishing on Saturday.

Our beginner surfers rose bright and early this morning to catch glassy, first-light surfing conditions. They were rewarded for their efforts, as the surf conditions were flawless! The ocean was exceptionally glassy and smooth. The wind blew ever-so-lightly offshore, and the waves were shoulder high, with occasional larger sets. The long period swell in water wrapped beautifully around the reef, creating fun, beginner-friendly walls for the surfers to enjoy. The surfers enjoyed the perfect conditions and utilized the ideal walls to improve their balance, control of the surfboard, and stance.

When the conditions are this good, you will improve by leaps and bounds in a very short period of time. Each wave breaks nearly mechanically across the reef, which allows a surfer several attempts at a similar wave.
