Sanur Reef Type of break: Sharp dangerous shallow coral reef Direction: Right Hand Crowd: Crowded in big days Level: Advanced Best Swell Direction: S, SW, W Best Size: 4-12 ft Best Tide: Mid to High / Rising Best Wind: W, NW are offshore, Glassy mornings Surf Rating: 9 SUP rating: got to be crazy… In the heart of Sanur juts in front of the Grand Bali Beach Hotel, is considered one of the world best right reef break when over 8 feet but this happen very rarely. It breaks 500m offshore and can produce very long barrels, watch out for big clean up sets. Not for Nancy boys over 6 feet, watch the low tide. I had couple of perfect sessions when around head high and few surfer! Got my best wave ever here....
Tanjung Left & Right Type of break: Coral reef Direction: Left and Right Hander Crowd: Left can get very crowded when barreling – Right is ok Level: From beginner to advance depending on size and tide Best Swell Direction: S, SW, W Best Size: 3 - 8 ft Best Tide: Mid to High for beginner – Mid to Low for advance / Rising Best Wind: W, NW are offshore, Glassy mornings Surf Rating: 7 SUP rating: 8 - The right is one of our favorite breaks on med to high tide and wave around 3 - 4 ft When you've entered the parking area of Sindu Beach you'll spot the two breaks: one right which is on the right side of the channel which can be surfed at all tides and a left at the other side which is better at high tide due to the shallow reef. Wear booties... The left is a very hollow nice wave with fun barrels when over 4 ft, the locals call it "mini pipeline". The right is always very very fast with super shallow reef...
Hyatt Reef Type of break: Sharp dangerous shallow reef Direction: Right Hand Crowd: Medium to high Level: Experienced Best Swell Direction: S, SW, W Best Size: 3-7 ft Best Tide: Mid to High - Rising Best Wind: W, NW are offshore, Glassy morning Surf Rating: 8 SUP rating: 7 Quite a long way from shore (1 km) really susceptible to wind and tides! A shifty, hollow, fast and powerful right-hander. Some time closes out, sometimes lines up, it can deliver the best barrel of your life or the worst disastrous wipe out in the inside slab. Rideable for experts from the far right side (don't go too far or you will see yourself on corals!) and also rideable at inner peak for non-experts. Can get very crowded by locals but if you are lucky you will be there only with your friends and the locals who took you there. There is also a Left Hander in the other side of the channel that is great for learner! Fun wave with good power but not too long.
The Wreck Type of break: Coral reef Direction: Right hander Crowd: Low to you will be by yourself Level: For Intermediate to Expert Best Swell Direction: S, SW, W Best Size: 2-5 ft Best Tide: Mid to High Best Wind: N are offshore, Glassy morning Surf Rating: 6 SUP rating: 8 Take the name from the Ship that got stuck on the reef in November 20010. Is a very fast right hander that normally punish you most of the time BUT some time with the correct tide and perfect swell create a perfect wall of about 100 meters.... If you get stuck inside you are doomed and will have to paddle all the way to the tower to get out again. Taking off next to the Wreck is quite nice. When Sanur is very small here you find the biggest wave!
Simzy Reef Type of break: Coral reef Direction: Peak with long right hander and a short left hander Crowd: Low to you will be by yourself Level: For everyone Best Swell Direction: S, SW, W Best Size: 3-6 ft Best Tide: Mid-low to High Best Wind: N are offshore, Glassy morning Surf Rating: 6 SUP rating: 10 Far away from the beach just right to the light house. Rarely surfed! Only by few locals kids. Is our best SUPS spot we have found so far! Can be reached in 15 minutes of paddling. Best in no wind. Need some size to be breaking but if too big it will close out. Give you a great ride with a nice channel to be able to paddle out.
Baby Reef Type of break: Coral reef partly covered by sand Direction: Left Hand Crowd: You will be by yourself Level: For everyone Best Swell Direction: S, SW, W Best Size: 4-10 ft Best Tide: Low to Mid-High Best Wind: N are offshore, Glassy morning Surf Rating: 2 SUP rating: 9 Next to Blue Reef is this mushy long left hander! Can't be really surfed but is great on a SUP, so far the absolutely best spot we have found for beginner. When Simzy Reef start to close out due to the size or the tide, here you can still have plenty of fun. Need no wind to be good and also some size to be breaking. Very easy wave with nice take off and keep going and going and going! Sweet channel to go out. Can't find a better place to start! |
