Geger Left Surf Report and Spot Info

Our surfers were all off to the Nusa Dua area this morning in search of offshore waves. Our intermediate surfers paddled out to Geger Left while our beginners were off to Blackstone. At Geger Left, the surfers found fun head-high waves with a stiff offshore breeze keeping the faces open. The swell has continued to drop in size since yesterday, with the forecast coming in at 4 ft. at 11 seconds, coming from 213 degrees. The surfers enjoyed the groomed, fast walls, where they worked on processing the faster waves, learning where to speed up and where to slow down.

The Uluwatu area is going through the final stretch of the seasonal persistent onshore breeze. As we progress through February and into March, the west wind will ease, opening up the entire Island to excellent surfing conditions. Book your trip now!

Our intermediate surfers were off to Geger this morning as the Uluwatu area is still struggling through rain and a west wind. The swell has continued to drop this morning, coming in at 3 ft. at 12 seconds from 205 degrees. The waves were head-high to slightly overhead on the larger sets, and the wind blew nicely offshore. The sea state was left slightly textured by the weather, however the offshore breeze kept the waves open and clean. Geger offered fast breaking left and right waves great for working on generating speed and learning how to control the board on a tighter and steeper wave face.

We had a full moon this morning which creates larger swings in the tide. The tides are moving quickly today which may shorten the sessions as the tide moves outside of the optimal range for certain surf spots.

More excellent wet season surfing here in Bali. Geger Left has been very good for nearly two weeks straight. We have been enjoying daily Head-high to overhead waves with an offshore wind of varying degrees of strength. For today, the swell is coming in at 5.5 ft. at 11 seconds, which brought in more head-high to overhead waves. The outside peaks offered up larger set waves with barrel sections for the skilled surfer.

The consistency of excellent surf in Bali is one of the many reasons why Bali is the world’s best surfing holiday destination. While many areas offer excellent surfing and entertainment for a few months of the year, very few places can boast year-round surfing like Bali can, and almost no other places have the combination of year-round surfing, excellent food and entertainment options, with such a vibrant, welcoming local culture.

Our intermediate surfers paddled out to the photogenic peaks at Geger Left this morning after waiting a short while for the tide to come in. The swell has dropped slightly in size to 5 ft. at 12 seconds, coming from 206 degrees. The wind blew offshore lightly from the west, which nicely groomed the waves into steeper head-high to overhead walls. The surfers enjoyed the fast lines as they learned to control the surfboard while moving at a much higher speed.

The three left-breaking peaks just south of Pantai Geger that make up Geger Left are comparable in their consistancy to Uluwatu during the months of January and February. The reef picks up swell from all directions, and the wind blows offshore nearly every day. As a bonus, if Geger Left is too big, you can surf the right-handers at Sri Lanka just a few kilometers down the road.

Our intermediate surfers made the journey to Geger Left this morning where they found excellent wet-season surfing conditions! Our swell has continued to drop in size today with the forecast reading 4.5 ft. at 13 seconds, coming from 205 degrees. The tide bottomed out this morning at -0.3 meters at 6:00 am, so our surfers left camp after breakfast. At Geger Left, our crew surfed the inside peak, where they enjoyed fun, head-high, left-breaking waves. The wind blew lightly offshore and the sun was shining!

Bali receives swell from a relatively small, but very active, swell window. The swells mostly come from 200 to 210 degrees, however, you do see swells with more south or west in them. Swell direction is important because it affects how the waves break across the reef. We use our understanding of swell directions at the camp to get you into the best waves.

Our intermediate surfers paddled-out at Geger Left this morning where they found pumping surf at one of Bali’s most scenic locations. The swell has continued to drop, coming in at 4.0 ft. at 12 seconds, however there were plenty of overhead set waves coming in at the more exposed end of the reef. Our surfers scored fast lines amongst an offshore breeze that has finally begun to ease in its persistence. The surfers worked on improving the speed at which they pop up, and setting their fins into the wave to generate drive.

Geger Left is an excellent wave for an improving surfer looking to gain experience at exposed reefbreaks. At Geger, there are three main peaks which grow in size the farther they are away from the reef. A developing surfer can start at the smallest peak, then work their way up to the larger peaks.

Our intermediate group headed off to Geger Left again this morning as the onshore wind has decided to stick around the Uluwatu area for another day, as predicted in the forecast. At Geger, the wind was blowing offshore, and the swell was showing its full size with overhead waves on the sets. Our surfers managed to race down the line for some fast and challenging rides.

In most places around the world, an onshore day like today would mean no surfing. In Bali, we are blessed with exposed reefs and coastlines facing several different directions. This means that it is almost always offshore somewhere on the island, and the more exposed breaks will usually pick up a surfable wave. Separately, today is Melasti in Bali, which is an important day for the Balinese Hindus. Today’s ceremony will also be the first traditionally held ceremony since the pandemic began.

Due to the westerly wind today, we decided to visit the east coast. In Nusa Dua the wind conditions were off-shore and the waves were clean. The incoming sets were shoulder-high and fun to ride for our intermediate group. Besides the good waves, the beach is beautiful to look at.

There is a new swell coming tomorrow and we are looking forward to having bigger waves again. With the onshore wind on the west coast, Nusa Dua will be our preference for this week. It is great to be able to explore different waves again. Bali has so many more waves to offer and every day you can find perfect waves somewhere. With our local knowledge and experience, finding these waves is no problem at all.
