Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Lots of rain this morning, much to the relief of the island of Bali. With the rain came the wind from the west, which chopped up the surf conditions at first light. Once the weather cleared, the wind turned offshore, leaving us with some decent surf conditions and a light crowd. The surfers enjoyed mostly head-high surf with a few larger sets. The waves were clean and lined up nicely for long, fast rides. Great surf, considering how the morning started.

When the rain and the wind come this time of the year, most of the surfers head to the Nusa Dua area, where the wind blows offshore. On days like today, when the conditions clean up mid-morning, you can get some excellent surf in uncrowded conditions.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Excellent surfing at Uluwatu this morning! Our surfers enjoyed high-quality, overhead surf at Bali’s premier surf break. The conditions were clean with a light offshore wind and a mid/low tide. The racetrack section delivered barrels and turn sections for the surfers who can spot the good waves that become long rides, from the faster waves that race off. Top local surfer and instructor, Scotty, expertly directed the surfers onto the best waves.

Uluwatu really is one of the best waves in the world. Additionally, it offers world-class surfing for 9 + months out of the year. It works on any size, any tide, and holds an unfavourable wind well. Not least of all, it is an incredible place to spend a week or two on holiday.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate and advanced surfers enjoyed an incredible surf at Uluwatu this morning! The swell is fading in size and consistency however there were still plenty of overhead set waves coming in at the exposed end of Ulwuatu. The conditions were beautiful and clean, with an incredible view at the base of the cliffs. The lineup was peaceful, with turtles swimming about looking for breakfast. The famous wave served overhead-high surf with some larger sets for the more experienced of the crew. The rides were long and the conditions were very clean. Some surfers reported the longest lefts they have ever had.

We are enjoying an incredible end to the year here in Uluwatu. The mornings have been very clean, and the southwest wind has been light. See you out there!

More fun, quiet season surf in Uluwatu! The swell is up, the sun is shining, and the waves are good! Despite the light southwest wind, the surfers had a great time and enjoyed the end-of-year sunshine. The waves were in the overhead range, with a few larger sets that Uluwatu always delivers. Despite the unfavourable wind, the Race Track section of Uluwatu served up long and fun rides, with waves of various sizes for different levels of surfers. The more experienced surfers can take off on the bigger and faster waves, while the less experienced can wait for waves farther down the reef or more inside.

We have more fun surfing to close out the year. Plenty of swell, a wind that is not too strong, and excellent weather.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Our intermediate and advanced surfers were off to Uluwatu this morning. The swell has dropped in size and consistency yesterday as we await the arrival of the next swell. There was a light wind from the southwest which added texture to the lineup. Wave heights were in the head-high range, and the faces of the waves were still clean despite the unfavourable wind. Top local surfer and group leader, Scotty, got the wave of the day with a long ride connecting several sections. The crew all had a few fun left-handers and enjoyed the opportunity to surf Uluwatu with friendly conditions.

We are still enjoying very fun surf in the Uluwatu area during this quiet season. Soon, we will be surfing in Nusa Dua, just a short drive away.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

 

We are enjoying some late season Uluwatu right now, with fun-sized swell after fun-sized swell lining up. Today, our surfers enjoyed the tail end of the big swell from two days ago. The surf has dropped enough for user-friendly waves, good enough for both intermediate and advanced surfers to have a great time. The surfers enjoyed head-high racetrack lines with a few overhead sets coming inconsistently. There was a residual texture left in the lineup from the southwest wind blowing overnight, however the wave faces remained clean. There was no wind and overcast skies as the session began, with the wind picking up slightly from the west later in the session.

More fun surfing coming up. We are enjoying the sunshine and the clean waves while it is still here.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

It was a lovely, quiet season day here in Bali! After waiting for the tide to come up, our intermediate group headed to Uluwatu given the swell’s drop in size. The surfers enjoyed playful, shoulder-high waves with the occasional larger set. The best of the waves ran nicely along the reef, while the wind blew ever so lightly offshore. The surface of the ocean was perfectly smooth, with views of Java and the west coast from the lineup. The surfers all had some nice rides, and everyone went home with a smile on their face and an appreciation for how beautiful the Uluwatu area is.

The long-range forecast looks promising with a large swell arriving tomorrow afternoon, and plenty of fun-sized swells coming behind it. See you out there!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

More small wave surfing here in Bali! Small days are still fun days here in paradise. The surf has dropped in size and consistency since yesterday but there are still plenty of waves to go around. The surf was in the waist to shoulder-high range. The wind was blowing lightly offshore, and the ocean conditions were smooth and glassy. Despite the smaller size of the waves today, the rides are still long and fun, with several sections connecting over the reef. The surfers worked on reading the speed of the wave, identifying when to pump and when to reduce their speed.

There are more relaxed vibes in the water on small wave days. Everyone makes the most of what they have to work with, producing sessions that exceed expectations.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Another small wave day in Bali. However, when you are a short drive away from the best wave in the world at any size, small days are still fun days. The conditions this morning were stunning- a light offshore wind, clear water, and clean waves. These extra small conditions allow surfers who would otherwise still be at Padang Padang a chance to paddle through the iconic cave and experience the magic of Uluwatu. The surfers enjoyed the waist to shoulder high waves, and many enjoyed long rides across the reef.
Uluwatu is an incredible wave at any size. On days like today, beginner surfers can relish in the long rides and beautiful scenery at the base of the cliff. Now is a great time of the year for beginner and intermediate surfing!
