Bali is one of the most famous places in the world to surf. The spots are numerous and varied on this Indonesian island with magnetic beauty. They delight the surfers from all levels, from beginner to experienced, in search of a new playground.

Kuta is undoubtedly one of the most popular and frequented places on the island, especially because there are many surf spots. Long 8km, Kuta Beach offers spots suitable tou·te·te·s surfers, including beginners. On site you will find a local surf teacher or a board for rent.

We distinguish Kuta beach and Kuta beef. If this is your first time on a board, Kuta beach is the spot you need. You already have a small level? Rent the services of a local fisherman or pick up to Kuta Reef, 1km off .

2. Uluwatu

Uluwatu is not only one of the best surf spots in Bali, but also one of the best waves in the world. This spot, located on the tip of the Bukit peninsula , enjoys a perfect orientation to capturing the big blouses. It is therefore not uncommon to see tubes and huge hollow waves.

Uluwatu’s waves break on an acerated coral reef and currents can be strong. This spot is therefore reserved for experienced surfers. If this is not your case, the show from the cliff is still worth a visit!

3. Canggu

The surf village of Canggu is another high place of surfing in Bali. Many surf camps have been installed. In Batu Bolong (Old Man’s) and Echo Beach, two must-see spots, beginners and intermediary surfers take pleasure in surfing consistent but quiet waves. They have the particularity of breaking up to rephrase themselves several times. Need a board or course? Go to the parking lot in front of the spot!

After an unforgettable session, you can finish the day at one of the local bars. These two beaches turn into festive places once the sun goes down!

4. Padang Padang

Less frequent but equally powerful than that of Uluwatu, the wave of Padang Padang captivates surfers from all over the world. The tubes form with elegance above a sharp reef. Creuse and stunned, only the most experienced manage to tame this mythical left when it wakes up. In fact, it is not uncommon to see professional surfers ·se·le·s jumping on this spot that is surnamed the Pipeline of Bali .

5. Nusa Lembongan

The small island of Nusa Lembongan is located southeast of Bali. It is the strait separating the two islands that is the origin of the swells that break off Lembongan. The small paradise island has several spots, often less crowded, including:

• Laceration : When the swell exceeds 1.5m, this spot offers a hollow and fast right, associated with beautiful tubes. The rest of the time, it remains accessible to beginner surfers. Watch the rocky bottom!
• Shipwrecks: this long, powerful right and half-mare tube attract visitors to them on Lembongan. The spot is only accessible by boat.
• Playground: As its name suggests, this surf spot in Bali offers a unique and accessible playground for all levels (beginners to high tide and initiated to low tide).

6. Keramas

Direction the east coast of Bali, Keramas, between Padang Bay and Sanur. The wave of Keramas, often tubular, runs right. It is possible to surfer it with rising tide or descending tide. At low tide, a fall on the corals would be terrible. In wet season, offshore winds promote the creation of tubes as clean and impressive. Keramas also has the advantage of being quite uncommon.

If the waves are usually small, soft and accessible tou·te·s (longboarders, beginners, intermediates...) to low tide, better be a confirmed surfer to surf this high tide spot!
