Wind Surfing

ALONG with ordinary surfing, windsurfing is gaining great popularity. Windsurfing is particularly popular on Sanur, Tanjung Benoa and Nusa Dua beaches with instructor.

Sanur. The stretch of beach south of Sanur Beach hotel is the best during wet season. Inside the lagoon the water is very flat and on the reef the waves are like ramp. Side shore winds with wave up to 10 feet provide the perfect conditions for jumping and wave riding. In dry season, all the coast of Sanur is good but south of Bali Hyatt is still the best. The wind is always a few knots stronger than elsewhere.

Gangga Beach. Just after Tabanan you will find this dark sand beach with side shore wind that is stronger then Sanur of few knots. Beach break, watch out for close out, not recommended in big swell.

Balina Beach. Also on the west coast you will find this famous surf spot. The wind is side on shore also stronger then Sanur. The waves are famous for the long ride and the bottom is not to shallow, they can be pretty big but they are not really dangerous. Go out from the left of the river, watch out for the shore break that can be ugly and ride the waves in the bay (pull out on time as the wind drop a little bit in the Bay).

Tulamben. In the northeast of the island, famous for the diving at the wreck, is known as one of the windiest spots in Bali. Here the wind get tunneled between Mount Agung and Mount Seraya and explode in the valley with incredible power. The beach is of black sand, the wind is side off shore with the first 100 meters little bit gusty, flat water with little bit of chops. Incredible view of the volcano from the sea.
