Uluwatu Surf Report and Spot Info

Excellent intermediate-level surfing across the island today. Days like today are why people come here in the wet season. At Uluwatu, our intermediate surfers enjoyed beautifully peeling lines across the reef with glassy conditions. The waves were overhead high with the occasional larger set, coming from a swell of 3 ft. at 16 seconds from 237 degrees. The surfers worked on matching their speed to the changes in pace of the wave, and executing improved turns on open sections.

Today was the first time this year we had the combination of glassy conditions and a long-period swell. March and April should serve up many more days just like today, which is why now is the perfect time for an intermediate surfer to come to Bali. Tomorrow is looking like another great day of surf. Grab your board and let’s go!

Another beautiful morning here in paradise! With fun conditions on our side of the island, our intermediate group headed to Uluwatu while our beginners were back to Padang Padang. At Uluwatu, our surfers enjoyed small-day surf at Bali’s most consistent wave. The waves were shoulder-high with the occasional larger overhead set, and the wind was light onshore. The wind swell has continued to drop in size, coming in at 3.5 ft. at 10 seconds from 236 degrees. Our intermediate surfers enjoyed long rides where they focused on reading the wave, which is used to determine where to pump for speed and where to do your turn.

There is always a head-high wave at Uluwatu, and it can be surfed at least a few days every month of the year. January offers the least amount of surfable days per month, so it will only get better from here!

It was a beautiful, sunny morning here in Uluwatu with no wind, a clear sky, and a smooth sea state. The swell is just hanging in there at 2.5 ft. at 10 seconds; however, when the conditions are as perfect as they were this morning, it’s a good idea to grab a longer board and enjoy the small day vibes. Despite the small swell, the lines broke nicely across the reef across the several sections that make up the wave at Uluwatu. As always at Uluwatu, there were many larger, head-high set waves coming in to those who were patient enough to wait in the correct position.

A new, long period swell is forecast to fill in tomorrow with light wind predicted. With the clean conditions forecast to continue, tomorrow should be an excellent day of surfing all around the island!

It looks like the Indian Ocean is finally taking a break after several weeks of a consistent head-high to overhead waves. The forecast is showing 4 ft. at 10 seconds from 211 degrees, which brought in shoulder-high waves with the occasional larger set. The wind blew lightly onshore from the west-northwest; however, the faces of the waves remained clean as the lines ran down the reef. The crowd in the lineup was light, which ensured all had a good time amidst the relaxed, small-day vibes.

On a day like today, with a small swell and light wind, the breaks at the southern end of the Bukit Peninsula, Uluwatu, and Sarangan are your best bets. These breaks pick up more swell and nearly always have a head-high wave. The light wind allows you to surf all coastlines, spreading out the surfers.  Grab a board and let’s go!

Our surfers took advantage of the unexpectedly clean conditions this morning and enjoyed fun, intermediate-level surf conditions. Last night’s stiff onshore breeze must have convinced most surfers to head to Nusa Dua, as there were only a handful of surfers in the lineup. The swell has continued to drop in size; however, the forecast is reading 6 feet at 12 seconds from 206 degrees. The wind blew lightly onshore from the southwest but the lines remained clean. Our surfers enjoyed the head-high left-breaking waves which offered several turn sections and faster walls.

Our camp is located near the iconic bridge in Padang Padang, which we use to assess the day’s conditions. We are always out there on the unexpected good days. Additionally, many in our team have been surfing these waters for decades which gives us an advantage over other camps.

Our intermediate surfers preferred to challenge themselves at Uluwatu this morning on a lower tide. The conditions at Uluwatu have been excellent this week, and the group has made significant improvements having surfed the break several times over the last few days. The swell has increased in size and period, and the waves were head-high to overhead on the larger sets. The wind blew lightly offshore early in the session before switching to cross-shore as the session progressed. The wave faces remained clean, and the surfers had an excellent session!

Uluwatu is one of the world’s bests waves for many reasons. While being famous for its power and mystique, it is also a very user-friendly wave when head-high. The wave is very defined and organized which, with the help of our expert guides, provides ample opportunities for excellent rides for a developing surfer.

Beautiful conditions once again for our intermediate group at Uluwatu this morning! The offshore wind and sunny weather have returned for a great day of wet-season surfing! The swell has tailed off in size slightly, with the forecast reading 4.5 ft. at 12 seconds. Our surfers found fun, head-high plus waves groomed by a light offshore breeze. The drop in swell size suites an intermediate surfer well, as the speed of the waves slowed down slightly, giving our surfers more time to drive off their bottom turns and run down the clean lines breaking along the reef.

The long-range forecast for this month looks excellent! The wind is predicted to remain light and variable, and there is plenty of swell incoming. The predicted light wind means that all three coastlines of the Bukit Peninsula could be good on any day. Come join us!

Our advanced surfers headed back to Uluwatu this morning where they were greeted by sunny skies and head-high waves, with the occasional larger set! The offshore wind has stuck around for another day, as per the forecast. The clean, moderate sized walls gave our surfers opportunities to work on linking their turns together while focusing on maintaining speed. Our surfers scored another day of fun left-handers at one of the world’s best waves!

December is an excellent month for surfing Uluwatu. The less-predictable conditions provide opportunities for those with local knowledge to be in the right place at the right time. Furthermore, many surfers spread out to other parts of the island given the variable conditions, leaving the line-up less crowded. Since we are so close to many breaks in the Uluwatu area, we are always out there when the waves are good!
