Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Great waves this morning at Balangan! Shoulder to head-high sets came consistently and the offshore breeze made the waves stay open all the way to the inside. Long, clean rides are what you come for in Balangan.

The blue, crystal clear water and white sand beach make this place look even more breathtaking. This is one of our favorite surf spots and beaches to hang out. Intermediate surfers can get a taste of what it is like to surf more challenging waves while advanced surfers can really use different sections of the wave to practice turns and the occasional barrel ride.

If you want to start surfing from the very beginning or if you like to do the next step in your surfing career, it is almost a no-brainer to visit Bali. Consistency and quality of the waves are very important aspects if you want to progress faster.

Indonesia and especially the area around Uluwatu and Padang-Padang are well known for their perfect waves year-round. Beginner, intermediate and advanced surfers will get their share of good waves on a daily basis. This is key to a successful start of your surfing career or getting to the next level. Consistency means more opportunity to practice, more practice means more improvement.

Surfing great waves with a bunch of friends in the morning is definitely one of the best things you can do to wake up and start the day. The fresh off-shore breeze and warm water will get you going in no time. Once you see the first set rolling in, you are on high alert and ready to go.

The conditions were a little more challenging today than usual. The solid swell and constant current made it difficult to stay in position. Although, with a little more paddling power, catching the waves was not a problem at all. Due to the rainy weather, the crowd was light and gave us the opportunity to catch as many waves as we wanted. Breakfast was well deserved after a great morning session!

Swell size was double overhead for 3 consecutive days, but has now dropped to a perfect fun size at most of the breaks. We decided on a trip to Balangan and again got the call right with perfect glassy waves. Balangan is a racy wave and there will always be a section that is too fast too make, but in perfect conditions like this, it is possible to get some very long rides. Balangan still retains that old worldly charm, and is a perfect place to drink a cold coconut before or after the surf session. Swell is forecast to pick up again tomorrow and there will be a nice medium sized swell for the next few days.

When a big swell arrives, Padang-Padang shows its true face. This is what made this wave so famous – heavy barrels! On a lower tide, a must-go-to spot for professional and expert surfers only. It is also a great spot to watch if everywhere else should be too big for you to surf.

The perfectly breaking, hollow left-hander attracts many surfers from all over the world. Everyone in the line-up is on the hunt for one of these tubes. Getting one can be a difficult task, but once you do, you will never forget! It is a wave that demands respect and commitment. Pulling out from one of these waves when you paddle for it, is not an option. “Go big or go home” is the mindset you need to surf this wave.

The new swell has arrived and everyone is stoked to surf bigger waves again! From Uluwatu to Airports, the waves were on fire. On a swell like today, Uluwatu often is too big for the majority of surfers, but other spots like Impossibles, Balangan, and Dreamland come to life.

Dreamland is perfect on a bigger day and lower tide. The left-hander is suitable for intermediate to advanced surfers who don’t mind surfing in more challenging conditions. Even though some of the sets are bigger than you might think, the power of the wave is still manageable. The season has now changed and we are blessed with offshore-wind conditions all day long. So get your surf gear ready and we see you in the line-up!

Wow, what an amazing start to the day this was this morning! Perfect, light offshore wind conditions and head-high sets were on offer at Green Bowl. Due to the slightly bigger swell, not many people were out in the line-up. We made the right decision going there and everyone scored great waves!

This beach is surrounded by stunning nature, the white sand beach and high cliffs are gorgeous to look at. The two caves, close to the ocean, provide a very welcoming place to cool off when it gets too hot on the beach. From there you have the perfect view of the waves and can watch surfers get the rides of their lives. If Green Bowl is not yet on your bucket list, it is time to put it on there!

The waves were great this morning at Uluwatu! Glassy, super clean conditions, and a light crowd. made it very enjoyable in the early hours. Surfing this spot is always a challenge. Not only to read the waves properly but also to navigate the line-up. You need to put some time and effort in to really get to know the many peaks Uluwatu has.

A professional guide can help you with that. Positioning is key and knowing which wave will break best can be hard at first. This is all part of the learning experience, with enough time and the right guidance though, this is no problem at all. Once you figure out the wave, you really get the most out of your surf sessions. Even though it can get very busy, one or two great waves at Uluwatu can make your day!
