Intermediate and Advanced Surf Guiding at Uluwatu, Bali

We were back at Uluwatu again today to catch the glassy morning session and the swell we’d been expecting overnight was showing nicely

With a foot or two of extra wave height, there were some great waves breaking up on the peak and along down to the reef to the racetracks section

As the tide filled in the number of surfers in the water increased but compared to how it would normally be at this time of the year, it was relatively deserted

Here in Bali we’ve got our fingers crossed that the national government will reopen the borders for tourism on the 11th September and we hope to be able to welcome you back to paradise very soon

Small but Glassy at Uluwatu

Although the current swell continues to fade and the wave size had decreased in size again overnight, there were still some fun ones rolling through at Uluwatu this morning for the intermediate surfers

As the tide was dropping out there were only a handful of surfers in the water enjoying the sunny glassy conditions

We’re expecting a new higher-period swell to arrive during the night which should see another foot or two in wave height to wake up to tomorrow morning

Here in Bali we’ve got our fingers crossed that the national government will reopen the borders for tourism on the 11th September and we hope to be able to welcome you back to paradise very soon

One for the Intermediate Surfers at Uluwatu, Bali

With the swell having dropped over the past couple of days, Uluwatu was looking friendlier for the intermediate surfers this morning

Waves were breaking around shoulder high with a few larger ones sneaking through and the very light morning wind ensured the conditions were perfectly glassy with plenty of waves to go around

Here in Bali we’ve got our fingers crossed that the national government will reopen the borders for tourism in September and hope to be able to welcome you back to paradise very soon

Dreamland Sunset Session

We took the camera down to Dreamland beach this evening for the sunset session where the low tide was serving up some fun little waves to end the day

Waves were breaking in the chest-high range with a medium offshore breeze keeping things nice and clean but requiring a little extra paddle-power on takeoff

Advanced Private Surf Lessons at Bingin

This morning Dean headed out to Bingin with Gunung for his first of two private surf lessons for the day

The swell could have been a little larger, but there were still plenty of perfect glassy waves breaking at around shoulder-high

After stopping back at the surf camp for some rest and recovery time, they’ll be heading out again to surf the dropping tide this afternoon at Uluwatu

In the third and final phase of the easing of Bali’s lockdown, the island will officially open its borders again for oversea tourists on September 11th.

Start planning your trip now and get an uncrowded Bingin session for yourself!

Big Saturday at Uluwatu and Padang Padang

On the afternoon of what some were calling ‘Big Saturday’, the ocean was putting on a show as Bali’s reefs took a pounding by the biggest swell of the year to date

The show started with some monster tow and paddle waves at Uluwatu’s Bombie and Outside Corner, and we finished on the cliffs overlooking Padang Padang

In the third and final phase of the easing of Bali’s lockdown, the island will officially open its borders again for oversea tourists on September 11th.

Padang Padang to Dreamland

With a solid swell hitting Bali today, we took a drive along the coast from Padang Padang to Dreamland to see what was going down at some of the most popular local breaks

Although the size of the swell didn’t disappoint, the wind wasn’t quite right which meant there were more turns than barrels at Bingin, a couple of big cleanup sets, and all the breaks were a little wild and unpredictable.

If and when the wind changes direction and straightens everything out later today, expect everywhere to be pumping!

Bingin Barrels

The crew of hungry locals and small take-off spot make it tricky to snag a good one at Bingin, but if you’re up for the challenge, there’s no time like the present

The swell is pumping and with Covid restrictions having all but stopped tourism for now, you might never get a chance like this again to enjoy ‘Bali’s most make-able barrel’™ so start planning your next trip now

The recent run of solid swell continues with sets arriving today in head-high to double-overhead range and barrelling at Bingin — as you’d expect — but also down the outside reef at Impossibles too

The first international flight operated from Denpasar airport two days ago, Bali is officially reopening from the 9th July and travel to and from other Indonesian islands will be possible from the 31st July.

We hope and expect the issuing of tourist visas to recommence shortly after and possibly even the same day.

We’re still not posting the surf report on our typical daily schedule but check back again soon for more updates or follow us on Facebook for more Bali surf news and travel information

Padang Padang Sundown Session

With Bali’s official reopening scheduled for July 9th and international routes starting to open up across the world, it’s time to start planning your next trip here!

We took the camera along with us this evening to one of our favourite local spots where the only thing better than the cocktails is the view.

With a very solid swell hitting Bali at the moment, the world-famous Padang Padang left-hander was throwing out some sizeable barrels which were being skillfully navigated by a crowd of around ten.

In the opposite direction, some chunky sets were rolling down the Impossibles reef in the ‘well overhead’ range with surfers enjoying some leg-achingly-long rides.

We’re too busy enjoying the uncrowded world-class waves for now so our regular daily surf report remains on hold but keep your eyes peeled for more regular updates soon.
