Greenball Surf Report and Spot Info

Today we had intermediate surfing lessons at Greenbowl.

It was a bit cloudy with light offshore winds and a small size swell coming in. This generated quite clean hip to head high waves which were perfect for the intermediates to practice their maneuvers and prepare for the large swell predicted for tomorrow.

Our intermediate group ventured down the Greenbowl stairs this morning for their first session of group surfing lessons.

The weather was typical for the Bali wet season — starting a bit gloomy with some rain showers but brightening up quicky as the session progressed.

Even on days like this, when the swell is only small, our expert instructors will always find somewhere with appropriate waves to surf. Today was no different as our surfers got to enjoy clean waves in the chest to head-high range away from the crowds.

For the first session of the morning our advanced group headed to Greenbowl for surf guiding and private surf lessons.

Waves were coming through in the shoulder to head-head range with a few larger sets and had plenty of power — as is typical of the more exposed south coast breaks. The onshore wind resulted in some choppiness but everyone had a great session.

Elsewhere at the surf camp this morning two full vans of our beginners started their day at Dreamland and the intermediate group joined them a stone’s throw away at A-frame.

Just for an absolutely amazing sunrise at Green Bowl it is worth it to wake up early and the surf is also great there. This morning our advanced group enjoyed both the beautiful sunrise and great surfing session. Swell size bigger than yesterday, so size of the waves were shoulder high to head high or overhead high on sets. Perfect condition with light off shore wind very enjoyable.
Our intermediate group had surf lessons at Toro Toro  this morning. Conditions are clean today and excellent for improvers, waves are chest high to shoulder high and head high on some sets.

The southern swell hitting the Greenbowl reef served up waves much larger than many of the surrounding west-facing breaks this morning, and that’s where our advanced group of surfers headed for their first session of the day.

Waves were clean and coming through between shoulder-high and well overhead and all of our surfers had a great — and at times challenging — session.

After their fill of waves, everybody made their way back up the famous Green Bowl stairs and back to camp for their very well-deserved breakfast.

One of the great things about being located on the Bukit peninsular is how easy it is to change coastline depending on swell and wind-direction, so regardless of the conditions, we’ll always find the best waves around.

Swell height had dropped overnight so it was a change of plan from the scheduled session at Uluwatu as our intermediate and advanced surfers made their way down the Greenbowl steps for their morning surf today.

Sets were hitting the Greenbowl reef in the shoulder to head-high range and all of our surfers enjoyed plenty of long rides.

This morning our advanced group of surfers were up at dawn to make their way to the south coast of the Bukit peninsular where the reef exposed by the low tide was putting the “green” in Greenball.

Waves were coming through in the head-high to overhead range on sets with long glassy walls and light wind.

After conquering the famous Greenball stairs, everyone headed back to camp to enjoy their well-earned breakfast before a second session of surf guiding.

Just for an absolutely amazing sunrise at Green Bowl it is worth to wake up early and surf is also great there. This morning our advanced group enjoyed both beautiful sunrise and great surfing session. Clean conditions with light offshore and lots of fun waves.  Swell is just a little bit bigger than yesterday, so size of the waves are shoulder high to head high or overhead high on sets.

If you have been surfing consistently for several years and are comfortable surfing waves double-triple overhead in size as well as fast, shallow & hollow reef breaks, then our advanced surf guiding is for you.
