Surfing
has been the number one water sport attraction for many years since
the day of the hippy travelers of the sixties and seventies. Ever
since those times, many people have been attracted to Bali because
of the great surfing it has to offer, and it is now one of the top
surf travel destinations in the world. Bali is ideal for both "hard
core" surfers who are keen to ride huge waves that are equal
to the best, as well as beach goers who are content just to float
in the warm waters.
There are a few reasons why the surf is good on this island. Apart
from anything else, striping down to your board shorts and dunking
yourself in the water is really refreshing option. However Bali
is most unique for surfing because of the huge swell that is built
as it travels north from the southern oceans and catches the shores.
The
best spots for surfing are Kuta Beach, Legian Beach, Canggu, Uluwatu,
Nusa Dua. Although Bali's surf is the ideal surfer's paradise, one
needs to treat the ocean with great respect and be aware of the
potential dengers. The waves can have tremendously power due to
the long distance travel of the huge swells. Very strong currents
and rips are common, and may people find themselves caught in rips
that are impossible to swim out of. Often the waves travel in sets
with up to ten minutes between sets in which the ocean can appear
calm, so before entering the water it is always a good idea to observe
the conditions for extended period of time. Unless you are a highly
experienced surfer yourself.
