Uluwatu works well in nearly any swell.
The waves always have a perfect shape.
The skill level of the surfers is very high; beginners have no business there and should choose times with fewer people if possible.
There are many cafes on the cliff where you can leave your things and change.
The parking is paid. Beautiful view.
Several peaks, the spot has a very large capacity.
There are some locals, but not many.
There are no significant currents at the lineup, but there is a strong current at the cave entrance and exit towards Padang.
The current is such that when exiting, you might easily miss the cave and have to paddle a “penalty lap”.
Start exiting closer to the beach, not directly in front of the cave.
