Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

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!

It was a fun morning today! The waves were great and it wasn’t busy at all in the line-up. A good opportunity to make your first surfing experience. The size of the swell was perfect to start catching green waves. Long, clean rides put a smile on everyone’s face.

At the end of this week, we are expecting another big swell to arrive. Exciting news for all the advanced surfers out there. For our beginner and intermediate surfers, we will be looking at other, more sheltered surf spots like Toro-Toro and Jimbaran. Until then, Padang-Padang is the best place to start and get a feeling of what surfing is all about. The journey is just about to begin!

It was a usual morning today. The onshore wind made the surf conditions tricky but still very fun at Padang-Padang Beach. As we all know, and this is also what makes surfing so interesting, is that the waves are never the same. Every day is a bit different and learning to adapt to different conditions is part of the experience.

Most people surf when the waves are great, no wonder, but surfing when the waves are not perfect can be very beneficial. There were fewer people out in the line-up, so it was easy to catch many waves. The more waves you catch, the more you progress and develop your surfing skills. Once you get used to surfing in choppy, onshore conditions, surfing when the waves are perfect again, will be much easier and even more fun.

Uluwatu is on many surfers’ bucket lists. For good reasons, it is one of the best and most famous waves in the world! Surfing here is an unforgettable experience. The scenery and nature around this surf spot are breathtaking. The long, clean left-breaking waves are great for many surf levels.

Not always it is just for expert surfers, when the waves are small and the conditions are right, also intermediate surfers can get a taste of what it’s like to surf this wave. Yes, it gets crowded on days like today, but with the guidance of our local surf instructors, you can be sure to catch many good waves. It is addictive, fun, and challenging at the same time. Be aware though, that it is not uncommon that some sets are bigger than it looks from above.
