Bali's coastline provides an ideal place for surfing. varying conditions, reef  and beach breaks create great waves for both veteran surfers and beginners. The southwest of the island with its arid and rugged area, is composed of limestone cliffs that provide some of the best views in the world, well known surfing breaks among the surfers and paradise beaches such as Balangan, Dreamland, Bingin, Padang-Padang, Uluwatu and Green Ball. It is a magic long coastline of white sand dotted with beautiful sandstone cliffs overlooking the ocean at high tide.

Balangan beach is located on the western side of the Bukit, just one km north of Dreamland, turn left on the main crossroad with jalan Uluwatu. Balangan is basically a left hand suitable for intermediate surfers but also for beginners. The waves get perfect when the wind direction is south-east and with mid tide, it is not a crowded spot. If you walk to the right side of the beach you will find the Pura Balangan, the local temple.

Uluwatu, as all the western side spot, works during the dry season, from April to October. There are 4 different surf spot: Temples, a long wave that works on the mid to hight tide. The Peak, just in front of the warungs. Racetrack, a super fast wave. Outside Corner wich won’t even break if the swell is not in the 8 range. Uluwatu can get very crowded especially during July and August. It has the same name of the famous temple, it is a spot only for good and serious surfers and it is at the top of the surfer’s destination list.

Padang- Padang only works when there is a big swell. It’s a particular wave, surfers come from all over the world to ride it, and it is not for evryone. It’s name Padang-Padang refers to the balinese pipline. It has the best waves of Bali and it i salso the most dangerous spot of the island. In Padang-Padang you can meet some of the best surfers of the world, especially in August during the Rip Curl competion wich select the professional surfers that will participate at the contest.

Bingin is the next reef after Balangan beach. The spot works better doing the dry season, from April to October with a swell direction from south and size 3-5 ft. There is only one small take off area and it gets really crowded during July and August, you will have to fight to get a good wave. It’s a fast wave with barrels, this is probably why it has become more popular among surfers, it is not a long wave but it’s pleasent and easy.

Dreamland , unlike the other spots, is a beach break, it has right and left hand waves perfect for beginners and not crowded, it is not too shallow and has decent shape.

Green Ball works well with a swell direction from south, with mid tide and 4-6 ft. It is a little hard to reach as you have to follow a stair case of around 500 steps but once you bet there the waves are amazing. Just be carreful with the strong corrent there, it could take away your board.

Many peoples all around the world come to Bali resort just to enjoy the good waves. White sand and sunset in Bali beaches just compliment for all surfers.

Surfing in Bali may look easy but don’t get it wrong it is pretty hard for the beginner, that’s why many surfing schools are open in Bali to help the beginner learn how to surf.

In most sports, before you start into it the best thing to do is to fill up your stomach and bit of stretching. Same way when you will start surfing you have to drink something before you jump to the water and eat later after your surf session.

If you are beginner surfer maybe you wonder what surfers eat before they jump to the ocean? Actually is a really simple snack and of course, you can find this food easy. You may surprise if I say banana, but yes! that is true. A friend of mine told me that banana (remember when we were going to school?) is good for a bit to eat before you go surfing because banana is a good source of carbohydrates and protein. Full set menu for lunch is better you eat after surfing because it is good to recharge your energy and also isotonic drink is good for you.

There are no rules what you have to eat for a surfer, you just have to know what is best for your body to keep it your stamina well during your surfing. It won't be funny you pass out in the ocean, never! Better you pay attention more and eat something before you go to the ocean for surfing. There are many surfers running around in Kuta, Seminyak, Uluwatu or others spot for surfing you may ask to dude what they usually eating before the go-to surfing.
After all day you surfing in the ocean you will be really tired and need to relax then enjoy the sunset. This is the most common surfers does after surfing is a glass of cold beer in the hand with a sunset view on the white sand beach. How cool is that? So, surf safety and enjoy the waves in Bali.
