Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

We had a great, uncrowded morning surf today at Balangan. A more than welcome change to the hectic spots in the south of the Bukit. The conditions were not the cleanest this time due to the high tide, but the lack of other people in the water made up for it.

Many waves were caught and everyone was well exhausted after the session. The swell was dropping again a little today, but we expect the new swell to arrive very soon. Tomorrow, surely bigger waves will be on offer and we will explore other, more sheltered surf spots again. Uluwatu will be huge and places like Honeymoon and Toro-Toro will be the best choice for our intermediate and advanced groups.

What a wonderful morning session it was today! The clear sky, clear water, and perfect waves made our start to the day special. Great waves were surfed from our students and everyone finished the session with a smile on their faces.

The incoming sets had the perfect size to get a bit more comfortable surfing more powerful waves. There is a very big swell coming on Tuesday, but until then we will enjoy the waves around Uluwatu. When the new swell hits we will go to spots like Toro-Toro, Jimbaran, and Honeymoon again to avoid the massive waves.

The waves got bigger again and Uluwatu delivered as usual. Glassy, head-to overhead sets came in all morning. It is really astonishing how good and consistent this surf spot is. It hardly ever goes completely flat and even if it gets small, the waves are still fun and rippable.

On days like today, when there is a solid swell, Uluwatu offers some of the best waves on the Island. Clean walls and long rides provide opportunities for turns, airs and of course, barrels! The perfect spot to practice all kinds of maneuvers or just simply have fun getting the waves of your life. A truly unique place to surf and an unforgettable experience.

Padang-Padang was super fun this morning! Not as packed as usual due to the smaller swell but the waves were still great and offered perfect little barrels. It was a great session for everyone who dared to take off in shallow water.

The more advanced surfers could enjoy the Balinese pipeline whilst the beginner and intermediate surfers had fun at Baby-Padang on the other side of the channel. Not as famous as its big brother but as fun for sure if you don’t need to stand tall in a barrel. It is a great little playground for all kinds of surfers. Also, kids can have their first surfing experience without having their parents worried about a sharp reef or big waves.

Surfing Uluwatu was such a pleasure today! Great waves and great company in the water made this session really special. The shoulder-high sets were perfect to practice turns and generating speed on the clean walls of the waves.

Consistency is key to quicker progress. Having good waves every day helps you get better so much faster. We are definitely spoiled here in Bali when it comes to the quality of waves. Once surfed here, it is hard to find a better, more consistent place. So much variety of world-class surf spots all over the island attracts not only the best surfers but also the ones who like to learn and improve.

What is the best age to start surfing? The earlier the better we say! Padang-Padang is perfect for children to have their first surfing experience. The small, gentle waves are rolling in perfectly and the big channel makes it easy to get back out to the waves.

Safety first is our highest priority when it comes to teaching the young ones. Professional surf instructors help to catch waves and stay safe in the water. On days like today, with sunny weather and blue water, surfing with family and friends is one of the best and most fun activities you can do in your holidays. Guaranteed you will want to come back and try it again!

Uluwatu was great at low tide this morning! The waves at “Race-tracks” were peeling perfectly over the shallow reef. Getting barreled was on top of the list for many surfers out there and many achieved their goals doing so.

Not only barrels but also big turns and snaps were possible to do on the clean, long walls of this wave. This section of Uluwatu is called “Race-tracks” for a good reason. Its fast pace is hard to keep up with and being able to navigate through the tube is essential if you want to surf it all the way. If you manage to do so, be ready for a long paddle back while you watch others getting the rides of their lives.

The Balinese “Pipeline” was on fire this morning with overhead barrels pleasing the ones who were brave enough to paddle out. The power of the wave is astonishing and surprises many surfers who try it for the first time.

It takes commitment, strong arms, and patience to catch one of these bombs. It is not easy to get one of the set waves as one of the local pros will already be standing tall in the tube before you even start paddling for it. Starting off with the smaller ones is a good idea. Get to know the waves and work your way up to the big ones. All the hard work and spent time waiting and watching will be worth it once you come out of the barrel of your life.
