Surf Spots
Bali gets the full force of southern ocean swells directly from the Antarctic, its south-west and south-east coasts being littered with surf spots. The winter months (June-Sept) are preferred for their perfect surf conditions on the West side of Bali. However, this means that these are also the most crowded times. From Oct-May still offer good waves. Bali, unlike other areas of Indonesia where all spots are heavy reef breaks for experienced surfers, actually has a lot of beach breaks accessible to all.
