Spots: Bali surf conditions and waves

Uluwatu: In this spot it is recommended surf during low tide because we enter the peak of the wave walking on the reef or paddling out of the cave. With a high tide we risk that current drag us to the cliffs is very difficult to go out. It is one of the most visited spots in Bali throughout the year, although the monsoon season is when best it works.

Greenballs: This spot is located in a small beach we access through some stairsis recommended surf during low tide  because with high tide the waves break directly on the stairs and out of the water difficult.

Impossible is a spot for professionals, Balangan is a perfect spot for beginners, left waves long distance leaving aside the reef. Also, there isn’t a spot as crowded when compared to Kuta and Uluwatu.

Kuta Reef, Airport left and right:

The large population on Kuta makes it not the best place in Bali for surfing since it is not a breath of peace that this sport transmits. Nevertheless, those who wish to start in the sport have the advantage that there are many surf schools, shops and apartments for rent in the area. The waves of Kuta Beach are feasible for beginners, if we go to the left and right spots from the airport, we engage the services of a boat to access them. It is important to remember that like any spot located in a big city, we can not leave it anywhere if we do not want them to disappear.
