bali wet season- wind surfing

December to March, The on shore winds hitting the west coast of Bali, makes winds surfing very difficult except for experienced with their own equipment, he shore break and big waves along this coast encourage you to arrange your own rescue as well. If you are looking to hire gear or take some lesson, you’ll need to go to Sanur. The scratch of the beach south Sanur Beach Hotel is the best during this time of the year as inside the lagoon, the water is very flat whilst out of the reef, the waves are like a ramp. Serangan Island Channel is good for speed, the wind here is always a few knot stronger than elsewhere. Condition are gusty at times, up to 30 knots. The windiest months is the wet season are usually January and February.

Sails from 6,5 m2 to 9,0 m2 free-ride or slalom. (75 kg sailor) Board big wave board, freestyle, free-ride or slalom board.

Blue Reef Left, Bali’s very own Ho’okipa. Side shores winds, with wave up to 10 feet providing perfect conditions for jumping and waves riding. Looking out to see its about 200 metres, left of the light tower. The waves can be very hollow and over 6 feet’s so no margins for error here. Better conditions with wind-side shore winds and a medium/low to high tide.

Blue Reef Right, About 300 metres right of the light tower, you will find this wave very nice to ride especially when the wind is little bit side offshore. Ti’s easies than blue left, as the reef is deeper and the waves smaller. The peak is pretty far out and the waves not too big. Holds up quite well. Watch out and the waves not too big set that closes out on the all the lines. Jibe and run away. Not too good at high tide.
