Planning a surf trip to Indonesia?
When is the best surf season in Bali?
April to October is Bali's dry season — the most reliable window for south and west coast reefs like Uluwatu, Padang Padang, and Canggu. East-coast breaks such as Keramas can fire in the wet season (roughly November–March) when swells wrap differently.
What are the main surf zones in Bali?
Most travellers split time between the Bukit Peninsula (heavy reef lefts), Canggu (beach breaks and crowds), and the east coast (Keramas-style rights). Each has a different vibe, crowd level, and ideal swell direction.
How do you surf the Mentawai Islands?
Mentawai waves are reached by boat charter or surf resort packages from Padang, Sumatra. Trips are typically 7–14 days. Book ahead in peak season (March–October) — spots like Kandui, Rifles, and E-Bay are world-class but remote.
