Balangan Surf Report and Spot Info

It was an exciting session this morning at Balangan with overhead waves and steady offshore winds shaping the faces nicely. The sets were consistent, with clean sections along the reef for those who selected their waves well. Surfers who positioned themselves wisely had plenty of opportunities to link multiple turns through the well-defined walls. With the size, the lineup was a bit quieter, making it easier to pick off the better waves.

A large late-season swell is arriving tonight, pushing the exposed Bukit breaks into double-overhead territory. Tomorrow, we’ll shift our focus to the more sheltered spots for fun and manageable conditions. Stay safe and ready for a solid day of surfing ahead.

Fun waves at Balangan this morning! The surf has dropped in size since yesterday, but there were plenty of clean, fun waves coming through. The surf was in the head-high range, with a few larger set waves. The rising tide was slowing down the pace of the waves, perfect for our intermediate surfers. The wind was very calm at first light, with the offshore trade wind building through the session. The surfers worked on identifying when to speed up and when to slow down, which is an essential skill for extending your rides. It was a fun, relaxed session, and everyone had a great time.

We have a powerful swell filling in now. See you out there!

Today is a small wave day in Bali, but the session at Balangan was still plenty of fun! With warm water and beautiful scenery, going surfing is always worth the effort. This morning, the weather was mixed with cloud cover and shifting winds, yet the waves remained clean and organized. Our surfers hit the lineup as soon as there was enough tide over the reef. The waist-to-shoulder high surf broke in well-formed, tapered lines and at a good pace for surfers to find their balance and ride down the line.

There is always a wave somewhere on the Bukit Peninsula. When the surf drops in size, the more exposed breaks will still have fun waves.

It was an absolutely beautiful morning at Balangan! Our intermediate surfers left for the scenic left-hand reef before sunrise, finding a very smooth lineup with a light offshore breeze. The waves were in the head-high range, with a few larger sets of waves left over from the recent powerful swell. The waves all had a nice taper to them, which is conducive for learning to identify when to speed up to make the section and, when you have enough time to complete a turn. Everyone got plenty of waves and great photos!

We have another powerful swell arriving on Monday and Tuesday. Expect well-overhead surf, with the most exposed breaks being for expert surfers only.

Our intermediate surfers set off before sunrise to catch the fun lefts at Balangan. With the swell dropping in size, an early high tide, and a fresh offshore breeze, the conditions were perfect for a fun morning in the lineup. The surf is down to the head-high range with a few larger sets coming in occasionally. The waves were breaking along nicely along the reef, offering the surfers fun, clean walls of water to play with. The surfers were among the first in the lineup, in time for the spectacular sunrise.

We have another big swell coming! We will begin to see the forerunning set waves tomorrow, and on Tuesday and Wednesday, we will see XL surf.

Small wave surfing today in Bali. Our beginner surfers chose to surf at Balangan in easy, beginner-friendly conditions. The weather was excellent, and the crowds were light. The waves were in the shoulder-high range and were breaking nicely left across the reef. The wind was blowing slightly onshore from the southwest, but the waves were still fun. The surfers worked on getting to their feet quickly with their feet placed correctly over the centre line of the surfboard.

This time of year, you can often get uncrowded surf at waves around the surf camp. Most people head straight to Nusa Dua or other parts of the island without realizing there are fun waves just on our doorstep. See you out there!

What a day for our beginner surfers! The waves were small but the smiles were big! The small surf conditions allowed our beginner surfers to venture outside of the protected peaks of Padang Padang to find their share of waves. At Balangan, the surfers found easy-breaking, waist-high surf amidst pristine conditions. The water was tropically warm and exquisitely clear- clear enough for a few snorkelers to swim out and admire what lies beneath the waves. The reef served long left-breaking rides, breaking just a little faster than at Padang Padang.

When the swell really drops off, Balangan is an excellent beginner surfing venue. The break is more exposed to the swell than Padang Padang, meaning that waves will be larger at Balangan than at Padang Padang on the same day.

We have some chunky waves this morning! Our surfers enjoyed the exhilarating surf at the very picturesque Balangan. The surfers mostly stuck to the head-high waves and paddled past the few larger set waves that came in. The wind was blowing offshore at the onset of the session, however, it changed directions towards the end of the surf. The smaller waves offered fun fast and slow sections. Some long rides were on offer for surfers able to read and react to the sections.

The surfers worked on reading the oncoming sections of a wave, which a surfer uses to match their pace to that of the wave. Knowing when to speed and up and slow down is extremely helpful for turning an average ride to into a leg-burning ride of a holiday.
