Keramas is Bali's most high-performance wave—a right-hand reef break on the island's black sand east coast that hosted the WSL Championship Tour in 2013 and again from 2018. The wave produces fast, hollow barrels and rippable walls that reward aggressive surfing; John John Florence landed a perfect-10 alley-oop here in 2013. When southeast swells wrap around and northwest winds blow offshore, this is Indonesian wave perfection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of wave is Keramas?

Keramas is a reef break in Bali, Indonesia, that mostly breaks right. It's on our list of the world's 100 best waves.

What's the story behind Keramas?

Keramas first hosted the Championship Tour in 2013, when John John Florence landed a perfect-10 alley-oop, one of the biggest airs ever completed in competition.

What swell works best at Keramas?

Keramas picks up swell from the SSE round to the SW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SSW. It starts working at around 0.8m and handles up to about 2.5m, with the sweet spot around 1.6 to 2.1m. Period matters too: aim for 14s or longer, as anything under 10s tends to be weak. These are the numbers our scoring uses, so treat them as a guide rather than a promise.

What wind is offshore at Keramas?

A WNW wind is dead offshore at Keramas, and anything from the W round to the NNW keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 5am to 9am. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.

What tide is best at Keramas?

Keramas is at its best around mid tide, roughly 0.4m to 1.4m on the local chart.

When is the best time of year to surf Keramas?

The most reliable run of swell at Keramas comes Nov to Apr. There's a second window in May and Oct too. Wet season. Works on SE groundswell + offshore NW winds.

How cold is the water at Keramas?

The water at Keramas averages around 28°C, so boardshorts or a rashguard will do. It shifts a few degrees through the year, so check the season before you pack.

Is Keramas good for beginners?

Not really. It's rated 7/10 for difficulty and suits experienced surfers. It gets busy (crowd 7/10), so mind the pecking order. Sharp reef. Crowded.

How do I get to Keramas?

The nearest airport on our list is DPS, then it's roughly a 30-minute drive. Beach access. Komune resort.

What other surf spots are near Keramas?

The closest breaks we track are Shipwrecks (11 km), Playgrounds (12 km) and Lacerations (14 km), handy when Keramas isn't working. We track 6 spots around Bali in total.
