Advanced Surf Guiding at Bingin, Bali

With a little more swell on offer, we knew that Bingin would have come to life this morning so that’s where we headed for today’s dawn session

As with most days at the moment, there was only a small crew out enjoying the clean waves which were breaking between chest-high and head-high plus

We’re delighted that certain visas are now being issued by the Indonesian government which must be applied for in advance. We’ll be ramping up operations for our soft re-opening on 1st November, so get in contact now for more information on how you can join us for an exclusive surfing experience

Something for everyone at Bingin, Bali

There were waves for all abilities this morning at Bingin where we returned for the first session of the day

From beginner-friendly knee-high reforms on the inside through to sets breaking well overhead on the outside, there was something for everyone

After yesterday’s XL session at Padang Padang (check out the video highlights on Facebook) there was still a large swell creating some sizeable sets although the higher tide kept conditions more accessible than they typically are on the Bingin reef

As the wind drops this afternoon, there’ll likely be another low tide Padang Padang sunset session going down so we’ll see you up on the cliffs!

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Guiding at Bingin, Bali

Uluwatu was a bit big and bumpy so we returned to Bingin for today’s morning session where the weather had a moody wet-season feel to it

The groms were out in force and leading from the front and, although the higher tide meant the wave wasn’t as hollow as normal there were plenty of sections on offer for big turns and the occasional barrel still to be found

We expect the wave height to continue building throughout the day and there will likely be another low-tide sunset session going down at Padang Padang this evening for all to enjoy

It’s never too early to start planning your next trip to Bali, so until we can welcome you back, we hope you’ll continue to check our regular surf reports, and for news on the situation here, you should follow our updates over on Facebook

Impossibles and Bingin Surf Check and Report

It wasn’t obvious where the optimal waves on the Bukit would be breaking this morning so we took the camera on a trip up and down the coast to check in at a few of the world-class surf spots that are located within just a mile or so of the surf camp.

With a solid swell still in the water, Uluwatu was breaking at a challenging size and either the conditions weren’t good enough or everybody was surfed out as there was nobody in the water.

Next stop was Padang Padang where, although the swell wasn’t quite big enough, a couple of surfers were having a go.

We stopped to Impossibles to take a few photos were the fast sections were being typically difficult to race past and finally settled at Bingin where there were some lovely glass waves breaking between chest and just over head-high

It’s never too early to start planning your next trip to Bali, so until we can welcome you back, we hope you’ll continue to check our regular surf reports, and for news on the situation here, you should follow our updates over on Facebook

Intermediate and Advanced Surf Guiding at Bingin, Bali

We were up early for the dawn session at Bingin this morning where the waves were breaking at a much more accessible size after the last two days of XL swell

The shoulder to head-high+ waves were a little softer than can usually be found at Bingin and perfectly suited to intermediate and advanced surfers wanting to build confidence at what is an infamously short, sharp and shallow surf spot

Tomorrow’s swell should be a little smaller but in the sweet spot where just about all of the world-class spots in the local area will be breaking

Advanced Surf Guiding at Bingin, Bali

The first session of the day for the advanced surfers was at Bingin this morning and we were there with the camera to capture all the action

Conditions were glassy and just about perfect although a little extra swell and some slightly larger waves would have served up some more of Bingin’s famous barrels

Weather conditions were calm and overcast and, although the day started with a wet season feel to it, the sun soon burned off the clouds

It’s never too early to start planning your next trip to Bali, so until we can welcome you back, we hope you’ll continue to check our regular surf reports, and for news on the situation here, you should follow our updates over on Facebook

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!

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!

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 join us to enjoy some of the world’s best lineups, emptier than they’re likely to be for a very long time!

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
