Uluwatu (Bombie)

Bali, Indonesia
😮‍💨Hold-downs🪸Sharp reef👥Crowded🏝️Remote

Uluwatu Bombie is Bali's big-wave arena—the deep-water outer reef that activates when massive Southern Ocean swells march north. While the famous inside sections of Uluwatu max out at double-overhead, the bombie handles waves up to 40 feet, producing thick, heavy walls that only a handful of local chargers dare tackle. Getting out there requires a long paddle past the cliffs and cave, and getting caught inside is serious business. Bali's heavyweight division.
