MED confidenceMajor spot

Also known as: -

Remote, scenic south-Bukit beach/reef; a quieter regular-footer option on a small clean swell.

Best time to surf

Best on small swell + light wind; wet season and Apr-May / Oct-Nov shoulders (south exposure)

Shoulder season: South exposure; shoulder and wet season best

The wave

Break type: Beach / reef break

Bottom: Reef / sand

Wave direction: Both (regular-footers favour it)

Typical wave length: South-coast peaks; breaks close to shore

Ideal swell: Small swell, light wind; picks up plenty of swell

Ideal wind: Offshore in SE to E (dry-season trades)

Working tide: Better at higher tide

Difficulty & skill

Difficulty (1-5): 2-3

Skill level: Intermediate-to-advanced on small swell (works better at higher tide)

Options for a mixed group: A quieter south-coast option for intermediates-plus; pair with a Bukit beginner spot for the group. Long white-sand beach is scenic for non-surfers but the walk down is a barrier.

Safety & hazards

Current; long exit walk; remote; reef/rock sections

No reef lifeguard; reef-cut care and clinics nearby; hospitals in Kuta/Denpasar ~20-45 min; good signal onshore

Crowd, access & conditions

Crowd & localism: Quiet (remote, long walk down)

Access & parking: Long walk / steps down the cliff to the beach; parking above

Surf schools & rental: Guided via Bukit camps; not a lesson break

Water temp & wetsuit: ~27-29 C year-round; boardshorts / rashguard, no wetsuit

Crowds, access and local conditions change - confirm locally before you paddle out.

Around the break

Facilities: Minimal - beach only

For non-surfers: Long scenic white-sand beach; otherwise limited
