Uluwatu Surf Report and Spot Info

Small wave fun at Uluwatu this morning! Our intermediate surfers were up bright and early to catch the high-tide running waves at The Racetrack. Uluwatu always produces at least a few head-high waves; however most of the sets were in the shoulder-high range, which is a great size for intermediate surfing. The Tradewind had kicked into gear early, and the temperature was about as cool as it gets (A not too cold 26°C water/25°C air temperature). The intermediate surfers enjoyed their opportunity to surf the long, running lefts at such an iconic break in improver-friendly conditions.

Uluwatu has many faces; from the Bombie and Outside Corner on XXL days to small days like today. The versatility of this wave is a unique quality which makes Uluwatu the world’s best surfing destination.

Beautiful lined-up surf this morning at Bali’s premier surf destination! The swell has continued to taper off in size, with wave heights dropping to head-high on the largest of sets, with many shoulder-high sets in between. At first light, the wind was dead calm, the water was sheet glass, and the surf was coming through in clean lines. Our intermediate surfers revelled in the opportunity to surf Uluwatu on a small day in such beautiful conditions. The Tradewind did begin to kick in at around 7:00 am after our surfers had many waves.

Uluwatu is known for powerful barreling surf for advanced surfers only, but it is actually a great location for intermediate surf lessons on between-swell days. The location is exceptionally beautiful, set beneath the towering cliffs.

Our advanced surfers were back at Uluwatu this morning at first light to beat the crowd and the Tradewind to the lineup. It was another morning of excellent surfing with sets pushing into the double-overhead range at first light. The surf heights dropped as the session progressed, with many head-high and slightly overhead sets rolling in. The tide was just right, with the waves offering a nice mix of barrel and turn sections with just enough water between you and the reef. Our surfers continued to increase their confidence surfing waves of consequence, and took in the expert tips on positioning and how to paddle into powerful waves.

The swell will continue to drop through the day today and tomorrow morning before we get another pulse of overhead + surf on Friday afternoon.

Pumping surf this morning for our advanced surfers! The surfers got what they came to Bali for this morning! Uluwatu served up 5-star waves with barrels and open sections for big carves. The surf has jumped in size considerably since yesterday, and wave heights are expected to continue to increase throughout the day. The Tradewind was blowing moderately at first light, but not so strong to make the surfing difficult. The waves were up to double-overhead on the largest of sets, with many head-high set waves in between. Our advanced surfers tested their barrel riding skills and gained some confidence after surfing powerful reef break waves.

The surf camp’s favourite part of Uluwatu is The Racetrack, as it offers the longest ride with the chunky barrel section as a bonus.

We enjoyed ideal dry-season surfing conditions and weather at several breaks this morning! Our advanced surfers had an exceptional time at the flawless Uluwatu, while our intermediate surfers opted for Toro-Toro and Balangan, and the beginners found their spot at Padang Padang. At Uluwatu, the surfers ripped head-head plus waves, which were breaking in long, organized lines with several barrel and turn sections on the various peaks. The advanced surfers skillfully maneuvered through the chunky sections, executing impressive tube rides and high-speed carves.

We have another large swell coming tomorrow. The big wave surfers can pull out their guns for The Bombie and Outside Corner. For the rest of us, there are several alternative spots that offer safe and enjoyable surfing conditions, even during a large swell.

A solid swell is pulsing throughout Bali this morning. The wave heights at the premier breaks are reaching double overhead plus with triple overhead sets cleaning up the line-up. Combined with a morning low tide and moderate offshore wind, these are the perfect conditions for the famous Outside Corner.

Outside Corner offers very long carvable walls and is suitable for serious big wave surfers only. The waves are much more powerful and move at a greater speed than is apparent from watching from the cliff. Getting out to the line-up beyond the breaking waves and the current is a challenge in itself, as a mistimed paddle out can result in taking large sets on the head and being pushed far down the reef.

With a dropping swell, our intermediate surfers seized the opportunity to surf Bali’s premier wave. Paddling out through the cave, the surfers found long-running waves peeling beautifully down the reef. The waves were shoulder high on most sets, with occasional larger sets breaking wide of the main peak. The wind blew beautifully offshore, setting up for an ideal session. The surfers worked on quickly getting to their feet and down the line. If done correctly, you can be rewarded with a lengthy 300-meter ride.

The Racetrack is an excellent wave at all sizes, and it only goes flat a few days a year. Luckily we have this wave within a short drive from the camp, allowing us to be the first surf camp in the water.

Our intermediate group had a fantastic morning surfing Uluwatu at first light! The conditions provided an enjoyable blend of long rides with challenging sections for the brave on the larger waves. The swell had decreased in size compared to yesterday, creating overhead lines with occasional standout sets. The wind was initially calm but gradually gained strength throughout the session. The more experienced surfers enjoyed the barreling sections over the shallower parts of the reef, while the less-seasoned surfers opted for the smaller waves.

Looking ahead, the surf forecast indicates a gradual fading of the swell over the next few days. However, there is anticipation for a new long-period swell to fill in on Saturday, June 24th. Grab a board and lets go!
