Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Our advanced group headed to Uluwatu this morning to challenge themselves at Bali’s most famous wave. The swell has increased in size since yesterday, and the waves came in at overhead high with the occasional larger set coming in. The wind blew lightly offshore, and the rides were long. The surfers enjoyed testing themselves on the steep drops, which required paddling hard down the face of the wave to avoid being thrown with the lip.

What many people don’t know about Uluwatu is that the wave can give you the ride of your life on any given day! Perfect sets can arrive unexpectedly, and some waves can run for more than 300 meters down the reef, with many barrel and turn sections. Take advantage of the opportunity to experience the thrill of Uluwatu.
