Keramas
Keramas is Bali's most high-performance wave—a right-hand reef break on the island's black sand east coast that hosts the WSL Championship Tour and features the world's only professional-grade night surfing facility. The wave produces fast, hollow barrels and rippable walls that reward aggressive surfing, with the unique opportunity to surf under stadium lights after dark. The partnership between competitive surfing and luxury resort culture has transformed Keramas into one of the sport's most distinctive venues. When southeast swells wrap around and northwest winds blow offshore, this is Indonesian wave perfection.
