Bali Surfing
Bali is blessed by nature with so many great waves, great weather and warm water
temperatures. With a short, hot wet season and a longer, cooler, dry season Bali
is a really
great place and fantastic surfing destination. There are surf breaks here to suit
beginners through to the experienced surfers
and the tropical climate and warm waters make it a must spot on your world surf
tour.
Bali picks up the swells from the Southern Ocean on April to November,
it is also the dry season in that period, so its the best time to come. The wave
is in consistent height up to 12 ft with the rest of the rear still
receives surf from 2-6ft. Kuta Beach, Dreamland, Uluwatu and Padang Padang are
a few names of the popular
spots for surfers amongst dozens of beaches with the most beautiful barrels and
glassy wave around the Island.
Bali is well-known name to the Surfers that have been traveling here for years,
so the surf scene is now well established. Plenty of surf schools and shops are
available here if you need to restock the equipments.
The number of surf breaks and the quality and consistency of the waves in Bali
provides many places to surf with only a small to moderate crowd.
Though there are so much surfing spots in Indonesia, Bali is still a mandatory
stopover for anyone on
their first surfing trip to Indonesia. Bali is also the first and last stop for
most of the surfers traveling on to
some of the legendary breaks in G-Land, Lombok or Sumbawa, or the more distant
areas of East Nusa Tenggara, Mentawai and North Sumatra.
