Green Bowl is a quality left reef break on the east side of Bali's Bukit Peninsula that picks up south swell and works best during the wet season with W-NW offshore winds. The spot is less crowded than the famous Bukit lefts due to its remote access down a long staircase carved into the cliff. The effort of the climb is rewarded with an uncrowded lineup, clear water, and quality waves in a beautiful cove setting.
