Surfing in Bali

The exotic island of Bali lies 3.2 km east of Java surrounded by pristine white beaches in the south and striking black sand beaches on the north and west that are ideal for exhilarating water sports such as surfing. During your stay at Bali 5 Star hotels such as the W Retreat & Spa Bali Seminyak, surfing is a must as Bali is dream destination for surfers both local and from around the world.

One of the main reasons that Bali beaches have become the best for surfing is due to the fact that the island gets the full force of southern ocean swells direct from the Antarctic. The dry winter months from June to September are preferred for surf conditions however, this means that these are also the most crowded times. But, with the help of locals it is possible to find a secluded spot to surf away from the crowded areas.

Out of the top spots for surfing in Bali, the Sanur and Kuta beaches are the best. Sanur Beach is a beautiful white sandy beach situated in the east side of the Bali capital Denpasar that has become one of the famous tourist destinations of the island. Though the white sand beach has a peaceful atmosphere that makes it an ideal place for relaxation and recreation, the galloping waves makes up for some thrilling surfing adventures. The beach is well appointed as an access of surf point located in the shore break, where the waves are great, powerful and fast giving more challenges for every surfer to conquer them.

Another top surfing site, Kuta Beach located in Kuta Village just a step from Denpasar Airport, is strategically situated in the center of Bali’s tourism which is very easy to be accessed from any directions. The best season for a surfing adventure at Kuta Beach is on a dry season because of the flows from the southeast to the west that creates good waves for surfing.
