Bali has its charm, attracts surfers of all levels from all over the world. Even though there are many other places, still thousands of new people with a passion for surfing keep coming over to this magical Island of Gods. If you are one of the thousands of people coming for surfing in Bali, well here’s the complete guide on Surfing in Bali for all levels. Even tho’ because of Covid-19, Bali is not planning to reopen its tourism until at least 2021. But you gotta prepare and plan your surf trip to Bali. First off, start with when is the best time to surf in Bali? A friendly reminder for first-timer Surfing in Bali. Okay, a surf trip to Bali sounds awesome and good! But just like coming to other countries or places, you will face some “irregularity” that differs from your country. So first of all, here are the 25 insider tips to make sure your stay in Bali is safe and without any hassle. Bali is big but only has 1 airport. The airport’s name is Ngurah Rai International Airport. So the first time you arrive here you will be in South Bali where most of the tourism businesses take place. Bali surf spots are most known by the term west coast and east coast. The distance between each coast is around 2-5 hours ride by bike or car. But we won’t categorize this list on those two terms, instead we list down Bali surf spots based on the area. We will talk more about it below. To get around Bali, you either rent a scooter with a surf rack or a car. But, the scooter is always the best option, simply because you can go to the most remote surf spots a car couldn’t. Scooter with a surf rack will cost you around 700k – 1000k IDR per month. Depends on the bike you choose, most surfers choose N-MAX big scooter. But we won’t be talking about the scooter type here. Just choose the best looking one, or the newest one. And always be careful with the police, prepare your driver’s license international driver license, helmet on read and shirt on, please. because you will 100% get stopped. You obviously don’t want to pay 100k-300k IDR for every time you get stopped. The next thing to know is about money exchange. Don’t go to small places, small money changers, or those with a low and unreasonably cheap exchange rate. 100% you will get scammed! Choose money changers with big signs or big offices and reasonable rates. Bali Surf Season & Weathers The good thing about the Bali surf trip is that there’s always wave in Bali, no matter what time you come to the island. The peak season, however, is happening around dry season from April to October, the driest months in Bali when the swells are big and clean. West Coast = Dry Season = May to September East Coast = Wet Season = November to March Dry Season The dry season is also the peak of the surf season in Bali, so visiting the west coast during this season is highly recommended. The best months to surfing in Bali during the dry season it is between May to September when the winds are in their best condition. Wet Season On the contrary of the west coast, surfing on the east coast of Bali is best done during the wet season that comes between October to April when the offshore winds are coming from the west to the east, making the east coast receives big swells and strong offshore winds and perfect places to surfing in Bali during the wet season. Bali Surf Spots There are many waves and spots for every level of surfers. Beginners, to advance. Beach break to reef break. There’s always a wave all year round. Bali’s happy place for surfing. The term for Bali surf spots is known as West Coast and East Coast. West Coast is best for Dry Season, while East Coast is best for Wet Season. This is because of the wind direction in which will affect the wave quality. If you stay in South Bali, then it is pretty easy to go around Bali’s best surf spots. The distance from South Bali between surf spots on the West Coast and East Coast is just around 1-2 hours. So to start classifying the surf spots in Bali, we will go with South Bali, East Bali, and West Bali. We will also include the best time to surf in each spot West Coast or East Coast. South Bali South Bali has everything you need. There’s a saying “Bali is South Bali”. All the development, tourism, take place in South Bali. Surfing in Bali is best if you stay in South Bali. Everything is practically easy. You can find hotels, motels, surf coaches, surf camps, surf lessons, surf shops, everywhere in this area. And also it provides the big city vibes – mall, entertainment, clubs. Living in South Bali for surfers fall into three places. Bukit/Uluwatu, Canggu, and Kuta. And the beaches in South Bali fall on the West Coast and East Coast. While it is pretty easy to go from one spot to another, the downside surfing in South Bali is that the spots can get crazy crowded! Canggu is most known for its green scenery vibes, but the beaches are best for beginners to intermediate. While Kuta in the other hand is best for beginners and for those who still want the nightlife & city vibes. But Bukit. Bukit has the most serious waves and scenery of hills. It’s not surfing in Bali without trying the Bukit Peninsula’s waves. Go at dry Season & If you choose to stay in the Bukit Uluwatu area, then you surf at these 8 surf spots in Bukit. So, here’s the list to answer “where to surf in Bali?” Canggu/Old Man. West Coast. Best for beginners Balangan. West Coast. Best for Beginners & Intermediate Padang Padang. West Coast. Advance levels. Home to the Rip Curl Padang-Padang Cup Sanur. East Coast. Advance levels Serangan. East Coast. Intermediate West & East Bali There are not many surf spots in West & East Bali. But if you are looking for the best-uncrowded surf in Bali & want to avoid the hustle and bustle of big city/tourist then this is the answer. Best surf spots in the West are Balian & Medewi Beach. It’s located on West Coast so best coming here in the dry season. Going there from South Bali could take around 3-4 hours by bike or car. There are several surf camps also. Medewi is a good surfing spot but obviously not a swimming spot and do not come here expecting to find sun loungers. There’s no tourism facility like in South Bali. The best surf spots in East Bali are Keramas Beach & Padang Bai Beach. Located on East Coast so make sure you are here on Wet Season but mind to use proper equipment to prevent surfer’s ear. Going to East Bali from South is around 1-2 hours’ drive. Best waves in Bali?

Surfing Equipment You need surf equipment to start surfing in Bali. For beginners, we need to learn first about how to choose surfboards and choosing surf fins.

Stock dimension and custom surfboards available. Why customs? learn more about the advantage of doing custom boards. But in Bali, there are many custom made surfboards and brands where you can choose yourself. The important note is always to buy first in South Bali. You won’t find a surf shop with a complete collection of surfing accessories on West & East Bali. Even surfers surfing in other Indonesian provinces such as Pacitan, Mentawai, often buy surfboards and other surfing accessories from Bali. Bring your own It is much fun to bring your own custom made surfboards in surfing in Bali. But sometimes the airline charges could be so not friendly.
