Green Ball surf guide

Green Ball is a surf spot located on the southern coast of Bali. It's known for its challenging conditions and requires a bit of effort to get there, with a long hike down a steep cliff path. The place can get crowded, especially during the early morning when conditions are at their best. Surfers looking for a solid right-hand wave will find this spot to have potential, though you’ll need to pick your moments wisely.

The waves at Green Ball generally come in from the South and West, making the optimal swell direction from the Southwest. It handles swell sizes around 2-6 feet (0.6-1.8 meters), which can really pack a punch, especially when it breaks over the live coral. You can expect fast, punchy rights that wall up well before breaking over the reef. The best conditions usually occur with a NorthWest wind and during mid tide. It’s a good spot for intermediate surfers, but be aware that the strong currents can be tricky and might catch you off guard if you’re not paying attention.

Make sure to stay aware of the current situation, as Green Ball is known for having one of the strongest currents in Bali, which sweeps out to sea at different angles. It can be hard to stay in position, and those goofy-footers thinking of trying the left will want to think twice due to the rip and reef. If you find it too crowded, you might want to explore other nearby spots after checking out Green Ball.
