Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

What a great afternoon session at Dreamland today! The waves were pumping and the crowd wasn’t bad at all. A moderate offshore breeze gave the waves a perfect shape. Down the line surfing and big turns are what everyone was aiming for.

The blue water and white sand beach make the experience even better. Hang out at one of the beach bars and enjoy an ice-cold coconut after surfing or just relax on one of the day beds. It is a great beach to bring your family to. Just watch out for the shore break, it can be quite heavy on a higher tide and bigger swell and many local kids love to surf it.

Practice, patience, and commitment are what it takes to progress in surfing. It can be hard at some point, but when you catch that one perfect wave, it was all worth it! It even gives you more motivation again to keep going and get better and better.

In Uluwatu, you can catch that one perfect wave. Not only that but you can also capture that special moment in a photo. It’s great as a memory but also to see yourself on the wave and you can learn from it. It will help you understand what can be improved on and what you are doing well. This is an important part of making progress and the next time you go surfing, you will be prepared to catch another perfect wave.

Surfing Uluwatu is on almost everyone’s bucket list when coming to Bali. Its famous left, perfectly breaking waves attract many people from all over the world. Uluwatu has waves for every surf level. Most and foremost advanced surfers are dominating the peaks, but when it is smaller, intermediate surfers also catch their waves.

This southerly exposed reef break gets a lot of swells and the waves hit the reef from deep water. This makes the waves powerful and fast-breaking. It can take some time to get used to the line-up and the different peaks, but once you do, it will be one of your favorite surf spots for sure. And if you are lucky, you might share the line-up with some of the best surfers in the world.

We are blessed to have so many great surf spots just a couple of minutes away from our camp. No matter what tide, wind direction, or swell size, there is always a fun wave to find. This afternoon, Balangan was the best choice to go. Offshore wind conditions shaped the waves perfectly.

Surfing with such a strong offshore wind can be difficult at first. The wind holds you back when paddling and often more commitment is required. Keeping the eyes open when catching waves is easier said than done. But once on the wave, you will be flying down the line. A great feeling that makes you want to catch more of those waves!

When the waves get bigger, too big for most of the surf spots in the south of Bali, then Jimbaran is the place to go. A hip-high left-hander is peeling over the reef at the south end of this famous fishing bay. Longboarders and beginner surfers are having a great time surfing there.

If it is your very first time surfing, you can also catch waves at the beach break in front of the local warungs. There is plenty of space in the water and the waves are coming consistently. Okay, it is not the prettiest beach, but who cares when the waves are good? Having a great surf will brighten your mood for the rest of the day and you will enjoy the white sand beaches around Uluwatu even more.

Starting surfing again after a few months of being landlocked can be tricky at first. Same as cycling, surfing is something you never forget after you have done it. Sure, it will take a while to get back in form again, but after a couple of days, you should be right back where you left off. The wave at “Baby-Padang” is perfect to do this.

Of course, progress is the goal for everyone going on a longer surfing trip. With professional help and guidance, this will come faster than you might think. Trying new waves and seeing different surf spots is great, but if you really want to improve the basics, then surfing the same spots can be very beneficial. The more you get to know the wave, the more you will catch and the more progress you will make.

What a great session this morning! Fun looking, shoulder to head-high waves were breaking perfectly over the reef at Toro-Toro. The A-Frame gives you a choice of going left or right and it helps to spread out the crowd a little.

This is a wave for everybody. Beginner, intermediate or advanced surfers, everyone can have fun out there. On big days it’s a very popular spot since the size of the waves doesn’t get too big and is still “user friendly” to ride. A great wave to start surfing outer reef breaks. The boat ride makes going there special and adds an adventurous touch to it. We highly recommend trying this surf spot, you will not forget the experience!

When it comes to consistency, Uluwatu is hard to beat. The clean, long left-handers are peeling perfectly over the beautiful reef. Catching a wave here can be difficult due to the crowd, but once you get one, you most likely will remember it as one of the best rides you ever had.

On a day like today, with a medium-size swell this spot offers waves for almost every surf level. Intermediate and advanced surfers will have the most fun on a mid-tide. The many sections and peaks made the crowd split up a little and you can find the best suitable spot to catch waves for your ability. Professional guidance helps you find those spots and teaches you how to choose the best waves. Once you get to know Uluwatu and know how to surf it, it will be one of your favorite surf spots for sure.
