With names like Padang Padang and Uluwatu with its famous entry cave, Bali is a surfer's 'dream' destination . Bali gets the full force of southern ocean swells direct from the antarctic with its southwest and southeast coasts being littered with surf spots. The dry winter months (June-Sept) are preferred for surf conditions however this means that these are also the most crowded times. Given a bit of local knowledge it is still possible to find uncrowded perfect breaks on Bali. When the surf's up you can catch some world-class rides. When there is no surf the beaches become quiet lagoons with crystal clear water lapping up the white sand.
Uluwatu is world-class and is the most famous wave of Bali for experienced surfers, as well as the busiest. There is always some swell here so it's also always crowded. The spot offers several waves which are working with different swells and tides. To get there go to the Uluwatu temple. Walk down the reef by the famous cave.
