Uluwatu - Temples

Escape the crowds at Surf Spot Temple, where fewer surfers venture due to the longer paddle required to reach the lineup. Optimal on smaller wave days, this spot captures more swell than its counterparts, providing a serene surfing experience.

Uluwatu - The Peak

Positioned right in front of the cave, Uluwatu Peak captures the most swell, shining at mid and high tide. With gentle left-rolling waves, this break offers easy access to barrels, allowing for deep bottom turns and breathtaking views.

Uluwatu - Racetrack

As the northernmost spot on the reef, Racetrack boasts a fast, long-breaking wave with incredible barrel opportunities. Best experienced at low tide, this spot demands caution due to the sharp reef beneath, promising a thrilling yet dangerous ride.

Uluwatu - Outside Corner

Dormant until stirred by a significant swell, Outside Corner stands as a legendary spot best surfed at low tide with massive swells. Reserved for advanced surfers, this break, located beyond Racetrack, offers spectators a breathtaking view from the clifftop.

Uluwatu - Bommie

Witness the grandeur of Bommie Surfspot on larger swells and high tide, where Indonesia's biggest waves unfold. A must-visit for thrill-seekers, this big wave spot promises an action-packed spectacle during your Bali adventure.

PADANG PADANG

North of Uluwatu lies the famous Padang Padang, a world-class wave that comes to life with decent swell. Revered for its hollow tubing and challenging lefts, this iconic Bali wave draws expert surfers seeking an adrenaline rush on big days.

PADANG-PADANG RIGHT

Known as Baby Padang, Padang-Padang Right, just a 5-minute drive from Kala Surf Camp, is a beginner-friendly spot with a soft reef break. Paddle out effortlessly through the big channel, without duck dives, and practice longboard maneuvers with ease. Ideal for smaller waves ranging from 3 to 6 feet high.

Impossibles - Bukit's longest ride

Impossibles Reef stands as one of Bukit's largest surf spots, featuring three distinct sections on its expansive reef. Renowned for its photogenic allure when the waves align, Impossibles is an ideal spot for consistent surfing with a high level of difficulty. Advanced surfers will find a hardcore playground with rapid passages, recommended to paddle from Padang Padang or Bingin Beach. Medium-level surfers can also join the fun when the swell is smaller, experiencing the thrill of quick-breaking waves.

Bingin beach - Perfection in the bukit

Often regarded as the most perfect wave in the Bukit, Bingin Beach, though smaller than Uluwatu, receives similar swells. This strong left consistently produces barreling waves, attracting hardcore surfers to its hollow paradise. While less intimidating than Uluwatu, Bingin's consistent perfection draws crowds, leading to long queues. Tides play a crucial role, with mid-tide being optimal. Experts and pros frequent Bingin to explore new twists and turns. Suitable for intermediate and expert surfers.
