Uluwatu
Uluwatu is Bali's most famous wave, a long, walling left-hander that breaks over a shallow reef at the base of dramatic limestone cliffs. The wave offers multiple sections—from the Outside Corner through Temples, the Racetrack, and finally the Inside—allowing for rides of 100+ meters on a good day. The trade winds blow offshore here during the dry season (April-October), creating perfect glassy conditions most mornings. Entry and exit are via a cave in the cliff face, adding to the adventure. The surrounding clifftop temples and warungs make it a complete surf experience.
