Berawa
Also known as: The Peak
Canggu's intermediate daily driver and the transition wave to smaller boards.
Best time to surf
Year-round; bigger sets May-Oct (dry); wet season smaller/friendlier; glassy shoulders Nov-Dec and Mar-Apr
Shoulder season: Genuinely year-round; wet season takes ~30-50% off the swell but Old Man's/Batu Bolong hold shape on the sandbar
The wave
Break type: Beach break (reef and sand)
Bottom: Reef and sand
Wave direction: Both (left and right)
Typical wave length: Punchier peaks than Batu Bolong; consistent manageable walls
Ideal swell: Small-to-moderate; rideable across most tides and sizes
Ideal wind: Offshore SE/E (dry-season trades); glassy shoulder-season mornings
Working tide: Most tides; better on a rising/high tide
Difficulty & skill
Difficulty (1-5): 3
Skill level: Intermediate (Canggu's best intermediate wave)
Options for a mixed group: The ideal middle ground - bridges beginner Batu Bolong and advanced Echo; consistently ~two-thirds the size of what's up the road, so a natural safety-valve when Echo is too big.
Safety & hazards
Shorepound; crowds; reef sections
Balawista lifeguards on the main beaches; Canggu clinics; hospitals in Denpasar/Nusa Dua (BIMC, Siloam) ~30-45 min; good signal
Crowd, access & conditions
Crowd & localism: Busy but less full-on than Old Man's/Echo
Access & parking: Walk off the sand at Berawa; residential south-Canggu, cafes and gyms
Surf schools & rental: Bali's densest surf-school and rental scene (the surf-school capital)
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
