Surf Bali.
Welcome to Kuta
and more spots...

Surf Bali. Bali has excellent waves all year round, ideal for every kind of surfer - from beginner to barrel junkie.
Renowned surf spots include Uluwatu in Bali, Grajagan in Java and Nias off Sumatra, but there is surf along the southern coast of virtually all the islands in Nusa Tenggara.

The dry winter months (June-September) are preferred for surf conditions, however this means that these are also the most crowded times. Given a bit of local knowledge it is still possible to find uncrowded perfect breaks in Bali.

Surf Bali : First session

For my first plunge into the warm Indian Ocean, I tried the beach breaks at Kuta Beach. It's a wonderful spot for Beginners to practice.

After Lacanau (France) where I learnt surfing, I felt like a fish in this spot, no big shore breaks, no strong current. I was really suprised by the quite feeling and respect on those peaks. Local surfers are very cool.

I rented surfboards on Kuta Beach, you will find very variable quality and prices. For example, local asked me 150 000 rp for two hours and finally I paid 75 000 rp a 7' board for two hours.

Ulu Watu, or Ulu's, is a legendary surf spot, the stuff of dreams and nightmares. When Kuta Reef is 5 to 6 feet, Ulu Watu will be 6 to 8 feet with bigger sets.

This bay streches out in front of you. In the shade you can eat, drink, rest and event stay overnight. It's a great setup for surfers, local boys will wax your board, get drinks for you and carry the board down into the cave, which is the usual access to the wave.

Ulu Watu has about seven different breaks.

Dreamland. At low tide with a 5 foot swell, this solid peak offers a short, sharp right and a longer more tubular left. more about this spot !
