Kuta
4.8

A spot on a very beautiful beach in Bukit, with a couple of hundred steps to the beach.

A few peaks with a good right wave.

Sometimes there is a left wave, but not of the same quality.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.8

A very beautiful beach. White sand and turquoise water. Visit if you love enjoying natural scenery! Two half-wrecked boats lie on the shore, adding to its charm. There are also 5 Bubble Hotel capsules…

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.6

This surf spot offers both left and right waves.

During optimal swell conditions, the right wave can barrel, providing an exhilarating experience for surfers.

The left wave is renowned for its extended length, making it perfect for those who enjoy longer rides.

Legian
4.6

The beach is a very popular right-hand wave spot known for its high quality and speed, with the best tide being medium.

From as early as 6 am, it attracts skilled surfers. It is not suitable for beginners.

Pererenan
4.6

Good right-hand wave.

Suitable for learning in small swell, schools come here.

When the swell is significant, the wave becomes tubing and quite challenging.

But because of its location, it generally has less swell compared to other spots.

Benoa (Nusa Dua)
4.6

Highly sensitive to the swell direction (needs to be southern) and the wind.

It’s better to surf at mid and high tide.

The size needs to be 4−5 feet.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.6

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.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.6

It’s a cozy surf spot beach.

Known as a swell-magnet, it always has good waves.

There are several wave peaks outside the bay, which are more pronounced and gentle, making them difficult for small boards. There are both left and right waves, with the right one also offering good c…

Balian

A famous sandy beach near shops and restaurants, popular with surfers. There is a board rental service.

A great spot for those who have finished surf school and want to ride calm, long waves.

Legian is a long, bustling beach with golden sand, lined with restaurants, resort hotels, and surf spots.

Watching the sunset here is a real pleasure.

Walking along this shore not only lets you enjoy the fresh ocean breeze but also admire the skilled surfers on their boards.

Kuta
4.5

The beach is perfect for exotic lovers who would like to see a beach with black volcanic sand. It’s a very atmospheric place, featuring black sand and two-meter waves! Here, you can watch the sunrise…

Gianyar
4.5

This is a surfing beach and is almost unsuitable for swimming unless you are a surfer. There are a few caves where you can hide from the sun.

Swimming is problematic, there are sharp rocks everywhere and very strong currents. Swimming on this beach is highly discouraged.

Ungasan
4.5

Good spot, several peaks. Sandy bottom.

There are both left and right waves.

The spot is suitable for continuing education.

The lineup is quite close to the shore.

Canggu
4.5

Probably the most remote surf spot in Bali.

It’s another 30-minute drive from Balian.

On the outside, there is a good, calm, very long left wave.

From there, you can actually ride probably the longest wave in Bali.

Medewi
4.5

Sanur is a laid-back seaside area in southeast Bali, known for its long beachfront promenade, calm waters, local restaurants, and relaxed pace.

It’s a popular choice for families and travelers looking for an easygoing alternative to Bali’s busier resort areas.

Sanur
4.5

The spot is located at the southwestern tip of Bukit.

A staircase with over 500 steps leads down the cliff.

The main peak is a right-hand wave.

The spot is considered a swell magnet, and there can be decent-sized waves even when there is nothing elsewhere.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.5

Dreamland Beach in Bali is a stunning spot known for its natural beauty and excellent conditions for relaxation and surfing.

This beach, surrounded by high cliffs and tropical vegetation, attracts tourists from all over the world with its white sand and crystal-clear water.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.4

Serangan is practically the main spot during the winter period when strong west winds blow. It works consistently.

Entry to the area is paid.

The lineup is quite far, you’ll have to paddle a lot ;)

Serangan

Padang Padang Beach in Bali is a true gem, hidden among cliffs and tropical greenery.

A narrow path leads to this amazing place with white sand and crystal-clear water.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4.2

A fairly decent left wave with a sharp push at the start.

The tide is better when it’s medium.

There are often many locals surfing.

The wave is also very unpredictable and has been quite bad and uneven lately.

Benoa (Nusa Dua)
4.2

A picturesque beach located in a rocky area with restaurants, hotels, and spots for surfing and swimming.

A consistently tubing left wave. It breaks very steadily in a specific spot.

Pecatu (Uluwatu)
4

The main spot for beginner lessons.

Very long with many peaks.

Sandy bottom, good foam, plenty of peaks, simple waves (but they can barrel in good swell). Almost all surf schools have their first few sessions in Kuta. Ideal tide is from 1 meter to 2 meters.

Kerobokan
4

Beautiful beach with swimming options and direct access from the Hilton Hotel.

It is also known for its fast right tube wave, which attracts experienced surfers.

The beach is usually not crowded, but those who are there enjoy excellent surfing conditions.

Hyatt Reef is a right-hand reef break about 2 kilometres off the Sanur shore — the longest paddle in Bali. From the beach the wave looks like a long, perfect right, but up close it's often a set of disconnected sections over ultra-shallow reef. On a good swell and high tide, though, Hyatt Reef lives up to expectations — a powerful right with barrels on the outside and long walls on the inside.

Sri Lanka is a right-hand reef break in the northern part of Nusa Dua, about 500 m north of Bali Soul. It's not one of the area's top spots — advanced surfers find it dull. But on the right swell Sri Lanka delivers long, comfortable waves, and when everything lines up, barrels. It picks up less swell on average than the neighbouring spots — the swell has to wrap around the Bukit Peninsula to reach the reef.

Medewi is the longest left in Bali. A soft point break over a bottom of rounded boulders that, on a good swell, runs for 800 metres and more. The most remote spot from the south — two hours from Canggu, and about three back because of the trucks heading for the ferry to Java. A relaxed vibe, ideal for a couple of days' trip.

Balian is a swell magnet on Bali's West Coast, an hour and a half from Kuta. A river mouth with A-frame peaks and a long left over a rock-and-sand bottom. It pumps almost all the time, even when other spots are flat. A beautiful black-sand beach and a quiet, tidy village full of guesthouses — a really pleasant place.

Halfway is the main peak in Kuta, the most consistent beach break on the whole stretch of coast. It's right in front of Poppies Lane 2 — look for the Surf Discovery surf school and the Kuta Beach sign. On a beach break the peaks move around, but Halfway holds its position — which is why it has its own name. The wave here is better quality and more consistent than the neighbouring stretches of beach. Local surfers ride here all the time, putting on a show at sunset.

Nikko (Sawangan) is a fast right in the southern part of Nusa Dua, in front of the Hilton Bali (the former Grand Nikko). A barrelling, demanding wave — one of the highest-quality breaks in the area. Breakwaters were built here that changed the spot considerably — they shrank the rideable zone and killed the beach break for beginners. Over time more breakwaters were added. The wave used to be long and perfect; the spot is more compact now, but the wave quality has stayed high.

Airport Left is a mellow left-hand reef break right next to the runway of Ngurah Rai Airport. You get there by boat from Pantai Jerman (in the Kuta area). The wave is long, not too fast and forgiving — one of the best reef spots for intermediate surfers. At mid tide the outer and inner peaks link up into very long lines with rides of 60–80 metres.

Nunggalan is an isolated reef break on the southern shore of the Bukit Peninsula, in the same league as Nyang Nyang and Green Ball as spots with tricky access. White sand, turquoise water, dramatic green cliffs — one of the most beautiful places in Bali. The wave is short, powerful and fast.

Honeymoon (a.k.a. Jump Off) is a left-hand point break on the western edge of Jimbaran Bay. One of the few true point breaks in Bali. People come here when a big swell of 10 ft and up arrives and Balangan, Impossibles and Uluwatu are too big and too scary — inside the bay the wave will be half the size. But the spot also works on a medium swell — the wave will be smaller, but so will the crowd.

Black Stone is a reef break in the Nusa Dua area, in front of the Grand Hyatt and closer to the Waterblow headland. It's named after the black basalt rock jutting out at the edge of the reef. The main wave is a left with a sharp shove on take-off: the swell rebounds off the rock and creates a steep, unpredictable section at the start. The spot is fickle — the wave is often warped, and good conditions don't line up every day.

Keramas is the East Coast's premier performance wave, right in front of Komune Resort. A fast right-hand barrel over a volcanic reef, a WSL contest venue and a spot for floodlit night surfing. The lineup sits very close to shore, with the paddle-out through a channel on the north side — but it's a serious wave: pros and strong locals ride here, and the reef doesn't forgive mistakes.

Chocolate Factory is a right-hand point break in the village of Jasri on Bali's East Coast, near Candidasa. Named after an actual chocolate factory on the beach.

Padma is one of Bali's best beach breaks, in front of Padma Resort, on the boundary of Kuta and Legian. Lefts and rights over sandbanks that reshape from swell to swell — which means the character of the peaks and the strength of the current can change from session to session. At head-high it's a quality, manoeuvrable wave for intermediate and advanced surfers. It barrels even on a relatively small swell with the right tide — and that's what sets Padma apart from neighbouring Kuta. On a big swell the right delivers powerful barrels. Despite sitting next to the tourist zone, the spot is serious — there's a constant strong northbound current here.

Serangan (Turtle Island) is a wet-season, westerly-wind spot. Several peaks on a large coral reef that work consistently and at almost any tide.

Bali Soul is one of the main learner spots in Nusa Dua for the wet season. It also goes by Cook Point or the Russian Spot, and on Windy it's marked as Little Moscow. A pretty, comfortable beach with great infrastructure: board and gear rental from Gusti, a local, plenty of cafés and easy parking. Getting in is straightforward, and you can also jump carefully off the rock straight onto the spot — plenty of people do.

Kuta is Bali's most famous and busiest surf spot, stretching 2 km along the beach. It's a beach break with a sandy bottom — one of the few places on the island without a reef. Plenty of peaks with lefts and rights appear and disappear as the sand shifts. On a small swell Kuta is the perfect place to learn: soft waves, a safe bottom, dozens of surf schools. But on a good swell there are excellent waves here that can barrel — especially at the Halfway peak.

It picks up less swell on average than Geger and the neighbouring spots.

Sanur is one of Bali's most legendary and fickle waves. A right-hand reef break on the East Coast that only fires on a powerful wet-season swell. When the conditions line up, it's a long, powerful right with barrelling sections over ultra-sharp live coral. Rated one of the fastest, hollowest barrels in Indonesia. But those days are rare, and when Sanur switches on, the island's best surfers gather in the lineup. Besides the main reef, the Sanur area has several spots of varying levels: Sindhu, Tanjung Sari, Hyatt Reef — all reef breaks, mostly for experienced surfers.
