Surf: The original Bali reefbreak sits a good 700m offshore, waiting for enough swell to swing around the projecting runway and hit a couple of sections of reef. The main reef is a fine left drop, stall, barrel, slash kind of wave and gets ledgy as it hits 8-10ft faces. Further up the reef is a short section of wall that is less hollow and closes out as the reef straightens, but needs mid tides at least. Trades can really rip into the waves by the afternoon and a dawn patrol in no way guarantees a smaller crowd of local rippers who demand respect. Gets way overcrowded with boatloads paying to ride from the southern end of Kuta Beach, avoiding the 20min paddle.
