Medewi
Medewi is a long left-hand point break on Bali's west coast, offering the island's best longboard experience with rides of 200+ meters on good swells. The wave peels slowly along a cobblestone point, creating smooth walls perfect for nose-riding and classic longboard surfing. The atmosphere is notably more relaxed than the frenetic Bukit Peninsula, with a quieter scene and beautiful sunset views over the Bali Strait.

Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of wave is Medewi?
Medewi is a point break in West Bali, Indonesia, that mostly breaks left.
What swell works best at Medewi?
Medewi picks up swell from the SSW round to the SW, and it's best when it's coming straight out of the SW. That's a tight window, so it needs the swell direction to line up. It starts working at around 0.9m and handles up to about 1.8m, with the sweet spot around 1.3 to 1.6m. 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 Medewi?
A SE wind is dead offshore at Medewi, and anything from the ESE round to the SSE keeps it clean. The morning is typically the best window, roughly 6am to midday. Light winds from other directions can still be fine; strong offshores can make it hard to get into waves.
What tide is best at Medewi?
Medewi isn't especially fussy about tide and generally works through the cycle, so swell and wind matter more here. Big tides can still change how it breaks, so it's worth checking before you paddle out.
When is the best time of year to surf Medewi?
The most reliable run of swell at Medewi comes Apr to Oct. There's a second window in Nov to Mar too. Best Apr-Oct (dry season, SE trades offshore). Swells year-round but wet season brings onshore winds.
How cold is the water at Medewi?
The water at Medewi 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 Medewi good for beginners?
It's more of an intermediate wave, rated 6/10 for difficulty, so newer surfers are best off sticking to the smaller days. It gets busy (crowd 7/10), so mind the pecking order. Things to watch for: sharp, shallow reef (booties help).
