Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Clean and consistent surf greeted surfers at Uluwatu this morning. The waves were mostly in the overhead range, with occasional barrel sections for the most skilled and committed surfers. The shifting seasons brought some texture to the lineup, but overall conditions remained good with clean faces. Light and variable winds changed slightly as the session progressed but didn’t impact the wave quality. As the tide pushed in, the pace of the waves slowed slightly, offering more opportunities for turns.

We are seeing signs of the seasons changing here in Bali. The consistent trade wind is starting to break down, the water is getting a little warmer, and the swells are getting smaller. See you out there!

Our intermediate and advanced surfers headed for Uluwatu at first light for some fun-sized lefts (and rights). The waves were mostly in the head-high range, with a few larger sets coming in occasionally. The wind was blowing very light offshore, and the water is starting to warm up just a little. The line-up was very clean, and the waves were breaking at a slower pace than usual at The Racetrack. It was a great day for working on your turns, as the wave allowed time for a deep bottom turn to set up your best top turns.

We have a new swell arriving today. This afternoon, Monday, and Tuesday are looking great! See you out there!

Excellent surf conditions this morning at Padang Padang! The swell was just the right size for surfers just learning to ride the waves. The weather was perfect, with just a touch of offshore wind and a smooth sea state. The waves were in the waist-high range, and the tide was just right. The surfers used the slow, consistent waves to learn to feel how a surfboard moves through the water, and the importance of utilizing the functional stance to ride the waves with balance and control.

We have several days coming up with excellent surf conditions for new surfers. Easy days like today are exactly what a new surfer needs to make lasting improvements.

This morning’s session at Uluwatu was a lot of fun for our advanced surfers. The swell has eased into a more manageable size, with light offshore winds creating perfect conditions. The atmosphere in the lineup was relaxed, and the water was cool and clear. The surf was mostly in the overhead range, with occasional larger sets hinting at the incoming swell expected later today. We enjoyed the entire session on a rising tide without the tide getting too high, making the most of the morning’s favourable conditions.

Expect several days of powerful swells from today. The standout breaks in the Uluwatu area will be reserved for experts only from this afternoon through Monday.

We are seeing much smaller surf this morning after yesterday’s large swell. With Uluwatu still breaking at Outside Corner and The Bombie, our advanced group paddled out at Impossibles chasing those famous long lefts. The surf was mostly in the overhead range with a few larger set waves. The Tradewind was light offshore, creating clean conditions with no noticeable current. The waves were breaking quickly, but the best ones offered extended rides down the reef.

Impossibles is one of the longest left-handers in Bali when everything comes together. With the right tide, swell, wind direction, and good wave selection, you can get some very long rides.

With plenty of swell still in the ocean, our beginner surfers headed to a more protected break for a fun session. The waves were about shoulder high, with just a touch of offshore wind blowing through the lineup. The sea state was calm, and the water was balmy. This right-breaking wave offered slow, easy rides, allowing the surfers plenty of time to catch the wave and get going down the line. The wave face had a user-friendly slope to it, which is excellent for learning to surf.

We have about a month left of the dry season. After this, we will enter the quiet season featuring light, variable winds and smaller swells.

A new swell has come in hot with well-overhead surf pulsing across the island. At Dreamland, the ocean was calm and beautifully clean at first light, with just a touch of offshore wind. The tide was just right for the A-frame peak. The take-offs were steep, which required some paddle strength and some courage. Once up and riding, the rights offered mellow rides as the wave fizzled out into a deep water channel. While the left offered a barrel section from take-off, followed by a fast, racy wall.

We are back into a trend of morning low tides till the 28th. With plenty of swell on the forecast, places like Dreamland and Toro-Toro are looking good!

Our beginner surfers had a fun session at Baby Padang this morning. With the swell dropping to shoulder-high after two days of bigger surf, the waves were just the right size for everyone to enjoy. The light offshore breeze and clear water made for perfect conditions. The rights offered mellow, easy rides, ideal for surfers just learning to control their surfboard. The lefts offered rides with a bit more speed, which morphed into longer waves for those who could make the reform section.

It was a great day for improving skills and having a blast in the lineup. Tomorrow is looking just as good. Come and join us!
