Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Another excellent morning in surfing paradise! We have a fresh swell, which has increased the size and consistency of the surf! Our surfers enjoyed overhead + waves with a few larger sets. Our intermediate surfers picked off the smaller in-between waves, while the advanced surfers went for the bombs. The conditions in the morning were clean, with a wind from the west picking up towards the end of the session. Despite the grey morning, everyone got some excellent rides and gained experience surfing a proper reef break.

We are approaching that time of year when we begin to shift the breaks we surf. Starting soon, we will swap Uluwatu with Chicken Wings and Geger Left, and Padang Padang with Mushroom Rock. As always in Bali, it is forever offshore somewhere.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Small wave fun at Uluwatu this morning! The swell has dropped in size and consistency since yesterday, but there were plenty of enjoyable rides and beautiful conditions. Our intermediate surfers enjoyed the head-high set waves, complemented by clear water, a light offshore breeze, and a smooth ocean. The surfers used this experience to grow their confidence when surfing over reef breaks, aided by the expert guidance of Bali’s best surf instructors. A few surfers were able to connect long rides down the reef.

Uluwatu is a magical wave, and the perfect wave at the right size from intermediate surfers all the way up to top pros. Intermediate surfers can challenge themselves or pick the right sized day, while advanced surfers can surf it as big and as challenging as they like.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Small wave fun at Uluwatu this morning! The swell has dropped off in size and consistency, leaving us with playful head-high surf at the iconic surfing venue. Today was a great day for surfers with lower levels of experience to have a go at surfing the long left-handers that the wave is so famous for. Most of the waves were in the head-high range, with a few overhead set waves thrown in the mix. The surface of the ocean was calm, the water was clear, and the wind was light offshore. The more advanced surfers were able to connect long rides down the Racetrack, while the more intermediate surfers were able to get a few smaller waves.

A new swell is bringing us overhead surf tomorrow. See you out there!

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Another excellent day at Bali’s best wave! While today may have been a “between swells” day, Uluwatu still delivered the goods. It is truly remarkable how good this wave is day in, day out. This morning, our surfers paddled through the iconic cave into glassy, head-high to overhead peaks. The offshore wind picked up as the sun rose higher in the sky. The surfers enjoyed the long rides, and the variation in wave size served up a perfect wave for every surfer.

Uluwatu is the world’s most consistent wave and the reason why so many travelling surfers come to Bali. For nine months out of the year, you can count on at least head-high, lined-up waves with no wind or offshore wind. Now is a great time to surf in Bali.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Pumping surf at Bali’s premier break this morning! The new swell has arrived and sent consistent overhead set waves through the lineup! The wind was blowing light offshore, and the tide was just right for lined-up surf. Most waves were in the overhead range; however, Uluwatu always manages to send a few bombs when the swell is pulsing. Having surfed the break the last few days when smaller, the surfers used the experience gained to challenge themselves in the testing surf conditions. The surfers mostly stuck to the Racetrack section, where they enjoyed a mix of barrel, turn, and fast down-the-line sections.

October and November are great months to be in Bali. Intermediates will enjoy the smaller swells and easier conditions, while advanced surfers can relish in the pristine surf.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Fun surfing at Uluwatu this morning! Higher early morning tides have returned to us, giving our intermediate surfers the opportunity to surf Bali’s premier surf break at a friendly size. The powerful swell on the surf forecast materialized at a much more intermediate-friendly size, with head-high to overhead set waves coming in organized lines. The Tradewind was blowing lightly offshore, the water was clear, and there were plenty of set waves.

As we exit the dry season, we are beginning to see the Tradewind breakdown with a light and variable wind pattern following in place. This time of the year, you can count on many glassy mornings, head-high waves, and the option of surfing all coastlines. It is an excellent time of the year to come to Bali!

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

This morning, Bali’s premier XL wave venue showcased a spectacular display of big waves. A select group of Bali’s most courageous and skilled surfers rose to the challenge of conquering this iconic wave on its biggest day of the year. The Indian Ocean provided flawless conditions, with surf heights soaring to triple-overhead and beyond. The morning breeze was absent, and a gentle Tradewind emerged by mid-morning, ensuring pristine wave faces.

Some surfers tackled the Bombie, while others chose the long lines of Outside Corner. However, a few individuals truly distinguished themselves with remarkable top turns on massive waves, reminiscent of the legendary surfing icon, Andy Irons.

As we approach the end of the dry season, this is likely the final substantial swell of the year.

Intermediate surf guiding at Uluwatu

Fun surf this morning at Uluwatu! The surf has dropped to a manageable size compared to yesterday, perfect for all of the non-big wave surfers out there. There were a few well-overhead set waves but most of the waves remained in the overhead range. The shorter period of the swell caused the lines to be peakier than they usually are, which split the break into additional sections. The wind was dead calm at first light, picking up to light offshore as the session progressed. The surfers worked on building their confidence in the steeper takeoffs, something that is easier done under the careful guidance of an instructor. We are approaching the time of the year that is particularly good for the airport reefs- plenty of swells and no wind in the morning.

Advanced surf guiding at Uluwatu

Huge waves and beautiful conditions at Uluwatu! Today was a big wave surfers’ dream with long lines, offshore wind, and bright, sunny weather. Wave heights at Outside Corner were reaching several times overhead. There were also some bombs at the peak. The waves broke beautifully down the reef with mechanical perfection. Many surfers scored what could have been the ride of their lives with rides going past the big rock towards Ulu Cliffhouse.

Uluwatu is a magical wave that is perfect from 2 ft. to as big as it gets. Just a few short days ago, this wave was nearly flat. Today, the waves are much bigger than 2 ft., but the lines are just as perfect. There are few places in the world where the same can be said.
