Swell Direction The roaring forties play a major role

in creating the ground swells for Bali Band of westerly wind that blow

continuously between 40°-60° south The lack of seasonality in the

southern hemisphere create consistent conditions year round

There is a very large fetch that extends from the roaring forties to Bali

By the time the swell is generated across the large distance the swell size is usually moderate (2-6ft) but the conditions are glassy

The S/E or S/W swell generated from the roaring forties moves along and pushes the waves into the southern Indian Ocean where they finally meet the coasts of Bali Indo and provide surfers with some of the best waves in the world

Bali’s CoastlineMost of the best breaks are on the southwest and

southeast coastsMix between beach breaks and reef breaks which

makes it very accessible for all levels of surfersThe reef breaks have amazing waves and create

perfect barreling conditions with long rides

Bali PeopleMost people from Bali are really friendlyDon’t be frightened if someone touches you

before they speak to you this is a common conversation introduction in Bali.

They are very religious people and follow strict rules especially with their zero tolerance for drugs. An Australian girl there on vacation got caught with a gram of weed and got 20 years in Jail which isn’t nearly as bad as death by firing squad which is what you would get for a more serious drug.
