Bali Surf Report and Surf Forecast

Pumping surf this morning! There is still plenty of swell hanging around. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and the tide was in a good range for advanced surfing. Our advanced surfers scored world-class Uluwatu lines- long, fast, and clean. The most skilled surfers in the lineup were able to tuck into some tubes while the rest of the surfers enjoyed the lengthy rides with many turn sections. Today was a great day, and we are looking forward to what is to come.

After an excellent wet season, this upcoming dry season is going to be great! The offshore wind has already arrived and the swells are picking up in frequency. We are looking forward to seeing you in the lineup!

The first big swell of the dry season arrived in time for sunset last night. This morning, the swell had dropped in size to the double overhead range, making for exciting surfing at Bali’s premier surf break- Uluwatu. We had some mixed weather this morning with a wind that kept changing directions. This caused a mixed sea state with bumpy waves, however there were plenty of waves that lined up nicely with clean enough faces.

The long, perfect lines may look inviting to inexperienced surfers, but the reality is that waves of this size are challenging. For advanced surfers, these waves are a real treat with many long rides and the occasional barrel. For less experienced surfers, there are plenty of protected spots to surf.

Small wave fun at Balangan! It was a beautiful morning with the sun shining and clean conditions. Today, our beginner surfers enjoyed the opportunity to try a different break which is a level up in difficulty but very rewarding. The surf was about the same size as yesterday but the conditions were cleaner with an offshore wind and glassy wave faces. The waves were breaking perfectly along the reef at a beginner-friendly size.

Balangan has something for every surfer on their day. When small like today, it is the perfect platform for a beginner to grow beyond the sheltered cove at Padang Padang. On a head-high day, it is an intermediates’ playground with long, easy lefts. On A big day, there are barrels for the experts.

Another easy day in paradise with a head-high swell, decent conditions, and quiet season crowds! Our intermediate and advanced surfers woke up to a slightly bumpy lineup and a dropping swell, which made for a relaxed day of surfing at the world’s most consistent wave- Uluwatu. The conditions were in the process of cleaning up during the session. As always at Uluwatu, the waves were still breaking cleanly across the reef, with waves coming in many different sizes for the surfers to select from.

We are entering the perfect time of year for beginner and intermediate surfing in Bali. The swells drop to the perfect size for progression. The winds are light and variable, which makes surfing easier and makes for great surfing all over Bali.

After a few days of wild weather and the complete silence of Nyepi, we are back at it with good conditions and sunshine! Our surfers were keen to get out there this morning as the conditions had cleaned up beautifully and the wind had turned offshore! There were plenty of waves thanks to a combination of swells in the water. The surf was in the head-high + range with a few larger set waves. The waves were breaking nice and slow- at the perfect pace for our beginner surfers to find their balance.

During Nyepi, we went over core techniques at the surf camp such as paddling, the pop-up, and the functional stance for developing surfers, so our beginners were prepared for the day ahead.

Pumping surf in Canggu this morning! The swell has picked up in size and consistency, providing overhead surf with a few larger set waves. The wind was very light offshore, and the waves were clean and glassy. There were plenty of advanced surfers throwing impressive top turns and snaps, with a few hail marry barrel attempts. In between the biggest of set waves, there were many small waves for the less aggressive surfers. It was a beautiful morning with plenty of clean waves breaking both left and right.

As always in Canggu, there was plenty activity on the beach. Today is Melasti on the Balinese calendar, where locals march in procession to a moving water source which signifies a cleansing of the earth.

Our intermediate and advanced surfers enjoyed an empty lineup at Uluwatu this morning! The swell had dropped in size since yesterday but there were plenty of head-high + lines coming in. When the surfers paddled out at first light, there was a bit of texture in the lineup caused by an overnight breeze. It didn’t take long for the conditions to clean up; however, by that time, the rest of the surfers had gone either to Nusa Dua or back to bed, leaving just our crew in the lineup. The tide was in the perfect range during the session, which allowed for long and fast lines that the racetrack is known for.

It’s not easy to get an empty lineup these days, but today was our day.

Fun beginner surfing conditions this morning at the beautiful Padang Padang Beach! The surf has picked up in size since yesterday, with the waves breaking up to shoulder-high in height. The wind from the west is blowing stronger today than yesterday, however the conditions were still clean. The tide was moving quickly today, which exposed the fresh surfers to the ever-changing nature of the ocean. The surfers all had a great time.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance from the pop-up, which is an essential step towards progressing beyond a beginner level. Once you have developed the ability to ride from the top of the wave in the functional stance, a new level of control and speed becomes available to you.
