A gentle, rolling beginner-to-intermediate beach break over sand mixed with a shallow reef/rock shelf (exposed at low tide, so mid-to-high tide is safest and best for learners). Bali's single busiest learn-to-surf wave, dozens of schools and independent coaches work the same 300m of beach, which keeps prices clustered tightly around Rp 350-450k for a private lesson. Best April-October dry season for consistent offshore morning winds; crowded year-round, worst mid-morning to midday.
