What’s stopping you? Book your ticket to Bali and you’ll find yourself in a surfer’s paradise. Beach hair, don’t care. Still not convinced, let me tell you more…
The diversity of surf spots in Bali is second to none. Offering a smaller swell and friendly atmosphere for beginners, while the more daring can enjoy a picturesque landscape and crystal clear waters. From white sandy beaches to cultural trips, there is something for everyone to indulge in. Maybe it’ll be the local food or the gorgeous local Bali dogs that come in all shapes and sizes. It could be one of many things that this enchanting island has to offer. All we promise you is that Bali and the Balinese community will captivate you and you’ll leave this beautiful island with sandy toes and feeling rejuvenated.
We’ve put together some of the most well-known and popular surf sports that Bali has to offer. But, there are surf spots EVERYWHERE! One of the best for beginners is Kuta which has a sandy bottom and gentle waves. Kuta is famous for its waves and warm welcome from the surfing community. It’s been captivating tourists for years. Next we would suggest Uluwatu, which is more desirable towards experienced surfers. Known for its breathtaking cliff sides, white sandy beaches and strong reef breaks, It’s the perfect spot for heart-pounding waves.
Our last top spot is Canggu. It is an up-and-coming destination that’s excellent for all levels of surfers. There are lots of eateries to replenish your energy after your surf where you can soak up the relaxed atmosphere.
No matter your skill level, Bali’s waves will guarantee that you come away happy with new friends and stories and unforgettable memories.
Leave your wetsuits behind, Bali is a surfer’s paradise because of its tropical environment, resulting in warm waters all year round. April through October is the island’s busiest surfing season, during which time the dry season delivers steady swells and offshore breezes. Even in the rainy season, there are still many waves that can be surfed. In other words, you can always catch a wave, come rain or shine.
Bali offers reasonably priced surfing. Seasoned surfers can rent boards from locals for a few hours for less than the price of 1 beer in most cities (locations will vary), or they can be chosen and provided for you at our surf school. For newbies, lessons and surf camps are easily accessible and affordable, and also a great way to meet new people who share the same passion for the ocean. Bali’s surf culture and community are always thriving, welcoming and sad to leave behind.
Not sure where to get started? It’s recommended to enrol on to a 5-day surf programme. This will enable you to nail down your basic surfing skills and offer you the opportunity for yoga sessions, like-minded meet-ups, cultural trips and more.
Surfing can be the main attraction for most in Bali but it offers a lot more. Like hydrating on a fresh coconut while watching the sunset on the beach. Or visiting the rice terraces of Ubud before spending the afternoon at a Balinese spa.
Bali’s food scene is as exciting and enjoyable as its surfing culture. Your taste senses will appreciate everything from Instagram-worthy smoothie bowls to traditional cuisines.
Surfing in Bali is about experiencing the island’s unique and spiritual vibe. The warm climate, stunning backdrops and lively culture combined make it an unforgettable experience.
What’re you waiting for, then? Book those flights and immerse yourself into one of the local surfing communities. Feel the rush of a flawless barrel or come to learn how to pop up on a surfboard. Either way, Bali has to be on your bucket list for a truly unforgettable experience!
