Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Another perfect uncrowded session at Bali’s most fun wave. There were only between 6 and 8 people out the whole session and lots of waves for everyone. The forecast was for a weak 13 second period swell, but waves were well overhead and some barrels to be had. Today was not a day for 5’8″boards but towards the end of the session, local top gun Mega Semadhi paddled out and showed us how to take the sets on a very small board.

Bigger and better today! Perfect conditions this morning, on all sections of the huge reef we know as uluwatu.

Barrels, turns, aerials, long rides. Everything possible when the waves are this good. Very hot and lots of sunshine.

Smaller today and a little bit wind affected, but the sets were well overhead, and not too many people in the line up. Very good wave quality and some great rides to be had. We are coming to the end of the dry season and it has been an excellent season of quality uncrowded waves. Bali is now opening up, and we expect that by Christmas, there will be many more people here to share the waves with.

Solid powerful swell here today at Bali’s premier surf spot. World class surfing condition with light winds and overhead waves. The peak and racetrack were firing, and was an epic session.

Smaller today, and the wind was again from a southerly direction which is side shore. Racetrack has some protection from this wind direction and the wave quality was still good. A new 17 second long range swell is forecast for tomorrow.

Onshore today at Uluwatu, which is surprising to see, after 6 months offshore every day. Uluwatu is still good on onshore wind, and today the wave quality was very good. Consistent head high waves, light crowds and some very long rides on the racetrack. Great conditions for practising turns, or just racing down the line.

Smaller swell today, but set waves were perfect size for Bingin, and the tide was smaller and slower moving. The wind was from the south, which is side shore at Bingin, and while there was some bump on the outside, the wave face was very clean, as Bingin offers natural protection from this wind direction. Around 10-12 people in the line up is very good for this very popular spot and great another fun session. Swell will be smaller tomorrow, very small on Thursday morning, but a new swell should arrive late Thursday.

Perfect conditions at Bingin for first hour of our session. Waves were pumping and only a handful out. Big tides today and got high quickly at around the same time as wind turned onshore and got more crowded. It always seems to be like that, perfect waves with not many people, and everyone rushes in when conditions past their best! Bingin is still great fun at high tide, and onshore, but the current was quite strong today as swell was well overhead. Higher the tide and bigger the swell, the stronger the current. Mid tide always best at Bingin as no current and the waves will barrel but not scary shallow.
