Kuta is renowned as one of Bali’s premier surfing destinations. If you are planning a Bali Tour, surfing in Kuta is a must-do activity! It is a popular tourist attraction in Bali that offers white sandy shores with crystal clear waters and huge waves, making it a favourite amongst surfers worldwide.

Kuta Beach is a great surf spot for beginners and one of the very few surfing beaches without a reef bottom in Bali, therefore, it is a very safe place to learn how to surf. There are several surf schools available for you to choose from at Kuta Beach. One that comes highly recommended is The Bali Wave.

Kuta has bustling crowds most of the year round. It is also an ideal place to watch the most beautiful sunsets. At night, the entire beach comes alive with nightlife in Bali.

Seminyak Beach

As you head northwest, away from Kuta Beach, you’ll eventually enter the resort zone of Seminyak Beach. You’ll notice two things here, the water gets clearer and the waves get slightly bigger. It’s still great for beginners and there are tons of surf schools on the Beach. 

Surf Schools In Seminyak

  • Santai Surf School
  • Bali Green Surf School
  • Kima Surf
  • Da Waves Surf

Legian Beach

Legian Beach is the next main beach break on offer out of Kuta. It’s technically not a different beach at all, but you will notice a difference: there are way more five-star hotels and chic beach bars dotting the shores here. It’s only within walking distance of Kuta.

The character of the wave is very similar to Kuta Beach. However, the general rule of thumb is that waves get a bit bigger and more exposed as you head northwest. That means Legian often packs a punch and is great for taking a step to shifting green waves —– an all-around perfect spot for early intermediates on the charge to Bukit.

When To Surf In Kuta, Bali

blog-images
Dry Season(May- November):

Less rain and a dominant south-easterly trade wind mean prime surfing is in the dry season between March and November. Those offshore actually create some irresistible conditions all down the Bukit headland. Pros and experts are drawn to the breaks there.

However, Kuta stays good for starters, with regular chest-high waves and a nice kick.

Wet season (December-April)

Bali’s wet season isn’t actually that wet. Rains tend to pour once a day if at all. When they do come, it’s typically in strong bursts and at night. The downside is that the runoff can bring some pollution to the waters, particularly on the Seminyak beaches to the northwest of Kuta.

Wave-wise, there’s good consistency that keeps sets hitting Kuta throughout. They don’t have the same quality or power as the dry-season swells, but that’s actually better for total beginners. Lineups get big around Christmas in Bali period, so watch out for flying boards then.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.
