Pronounced “Mer-Day-wee”. Bali’s longest left point, peeling evenly for hundreds of meters along round river stones, a little bit like a reversed Malibu. Perfect for long boards, although a little full and slow compared with Uluwatu, but still lots of fun. Best at mid tide from 4 to 8 foot. Trade winds blow on shore, so arrive early. About 80Km north of Kuta, so set out before dawn or stay at the little losmen nearby. Swell size here is usually smaller than Kuta, although not always, depending upon swell direction and intensity. go exploring Bali Surf !

Pronounced “Bali-ahn”. Newly popular river mouth break, with both lefts and rights, breaking over a rock bottom. Drive about 50 Km from Kuta on the main road to Java. Continue past Tabanan and through Soka, to just after where the road first meets the ocean again and then look for signs. Get there early or stay overnight as the trade winds blow side-shore. Be careful as the river water here can sometimes be polluted. There could be other rarely surfed breaks nearby. Go exploring bali surf !
