Jimbaran Surf Report and Spot Info

The huge swell has fully arrived overnight and most of the surf spots on the Bukit are way too big to surf today. We decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner and intermediate groups and it was great! Everyone was happy out there and surfed a lot of waves.

It is a very suitable beach to learn how to surf, but there are not always waves. Only when big swells arrive, this surf spot comes to life, and when it does shoulder-high sets are rolling in very consistently. This makes it a great spot to catch many waves and ride them as long as possible. The slow-breaking peaks are perfect to enjoy the ride and work on your surfing technique.

Jimbaran was our preferred option today to do the beginner lessons. The big swell made it clear that Padang Padang was not suitable today. To be honest, Jimbaran is not as pretty as Padang Padang beach, but the waves are super fun and perfect to learn on. Also, because the button is sand, it is very safe.

The wave breaks close to the beach and it is possible to walk out to the line up where you sit and wait for the waves. This makes it very suitable for beginners and also easy to catch many waves. If you get tired of paddling, simply walk back out. It is a playful surf spot when the waves are too big everywhere else and especially for children, it is great!

The new big swell arrived this morning and Padang Padang was on fire. While some of the best surfers of Bali and the world surfed massive barrels at the Padang Padang Cup, our intermediate group enjoyed hip-high waves at Jimbaran.

It doesn’t look as spectacular as seeing someone deep in the tube, but what counts most is the fun you have while riding the wave. There is no point in surfing waves that are out of your comfort zone or ability level. Staying safe and being able to make progress while surfing is what we are looking for when choosing surf spots. This way you can fully enjoy the surf session and concentrate on improving your surfing skills.

Jimbaran was perfect today for our beginner group! The gentle waves and sandy bottom provide a great learning environment. To make your first experience as a new surfer, it is important to go to a surf spot where you are safe at all times.

Learning with a professional surf school or camp is highly recommended. The instructors will show you everything you need to know to stay safe and enjoy the surf lessons. Only then will you be able to make progress and have fun in the water. Tomorrow the swell will drop again and we will be doing our lessons at Padang-Padang, our home spot.

The new swell has arrived and we decided to go to Jimbaran with our beginner group. The waves were perfect and super fun to play with. As this is a beach break, it is also very safe to get the first experience on a surfboard. An aspect that is very important to us!

Getting the basics right and a feeling for the waves and equipment is equally important. Only then you can really feel comfortable in the water and enjoy this sport to the fullest. With the help of our professional surf instructors, you will be learning these things in no time and have fun from the very beginning. From here on it will only get better!

The large swell arrived this morning and we decided to go to Jimbaran where the waves were much smaller and very suitable for our beginner group. Hip-high waves break gently in the southern end of this bay and an easy paddle out helps to get into the line-up without much effort.

It is a great wave to practice the fundamentals like paddling, pop-up, and positioning on the surfboard. When taking a break on the beach, you can visit the local fish market to see what the ocean has to offer for lunch or dinner. Although the waves are not as huge as in Uluwatu, going to Jimbaran for surfing is always fun and exciting, especially for our beginner and intermediate surfers.

When the waves get bigger, too big for most of the surf spots in the south of Bali, then Jimbaran is the place to go. A hip-high left-hander is peeling over the reef at the south end of this famous fishing bay. Longboarders and beginner surfers are having a great time surfing there.

If it is your very first time surfing, you can also catch waves at the beach break in front of the local warungs. There is plenty of space in the water and the waves are coming consistently. Okay, it is not the prettiest beach, but who cares when the waves are good? Having a great surf will brighten your mood for the rest of the day and you will enjoy the white sand beaches around Uluwatu even more.

Due to the big swell today, we decided to go to Jimbaran where the waves are perfect for beginner and intermediate surfers. Gently breaking green waves give you plenty of time to adjust your foot position on the board and remember the correct body position before you turn the board.

This helps you to memorize the technique and therefore improve faster. Getting the basics right in the beginning is so important. Once you master the pop-up and have a stable position on the board, the next step is to start doing turns and going along the face of the wave. On days like this, where everywhere else the waves are too big, Jimbaran offers the perfect training ground. Plus, the waves are fun too!
