Frequently asked questions

When is the best surf season in Bali?

Dry season (May–October) gives offshore winds on the Bukit (Uluwatu, Padang) — the iconic Bali surf. Wet season (November–March) reverses the winds and lights up the east coast (Keramas, Sanur, Nusa Dua).

Where should beginners surf in Bali?

Old Man's, Batu Bolong (Canggu), Kuta Beach, Seminyak and Medewi are the safest beginner-friendly breaks. All have soft-board rental and surf schools right on the sand.

Where should intermediate / advanced surfers go?

Bingin, Padang Padang, Impossibles and Uluwatu Racetracks (Bukit) for left-handers; Keramas, Sanur Reef and Nusa Dua for rights. Medewi for a long left point break.

Do I need a surfboard for Bali?

No — every break has board hire (US$8–15/day). Surf camps include boards. Only bring your own if you're a pro chasing specific waves.

How dangerous are Bali reefs?

Reef cuts are common on Uluwatu, Bingin, Padang Padang. Wear reef booties at low tide, carry an antibiotic ointment, surf the right tides (high for shallow reef breaks). Canggu is sand-bottom and much friendlier for learners.
