Kedungu
Also known as: -
A mellow, welcoming 3-peak rock-and-sand break near Tanah Lot - soft learner-friendly waves, a quiet lineup, and a genuine wet-season/shoulder alternative to Canggu.
Best time to surf
Dry season Apr-Oct; shoulder months (Mar-May, Nov-Dec) ideal; a wet-season option
Shoulder season: High/ideal - Mar-May and Nov-Dec named ideal; a genuine wet-season alternative to Canggu
The wave
Break type: Beach / reef break
Bottom: Rock and sand
Wave direction: Both - three peaks: Headland (S, mostly left, most advanced), Middle (left and right, beginner zone), West (right/left, picks up most swell)
Typical wave length: Short-to-medium, soft; best shape mid-tide; often too soft to generate turning speed
Ideal swell: S / SSW / SW; waist-high to overhead; West Peak picks up plenty of swell; watch clean-up sets
Ideal wind: No wind / very light mornings - note strong offshore actually hurts this slow wave; side-shore dry-season trades affect it
Working tide: Mid-tide (best shape and longest rides); shore break develops mid-to-high
Difficulty & skill
Difficulty (1-5): 2 (soft learner wave; Headland Peak a touch more)
Skill level: Beginner-to-intermediate
Options for a mixed group: Within Kedungu across its 3 peaks; nearby Pig Stone, Yeh Gangga; Canggu breaks ~30-40 min east
Safety & hazards
Submerged rocks (esp. Headland inside), beginners with loose boards, clean-up sets on big dry-season swells, mild shore break
Fewer on-beach services than Canggu; nearest clinics in Canggu/Tabanan; Tabanan Regency hospital (BRSU Tabanan) closer; major hospitals in Denpasar
Crowd, access & conditions
Crowd & localism: Mellow; welcoming local vibe; less crowded than Canggu, a 'real Bali' lineup
Access & parking: Park in the car park directly in front of the wave; paddle out via channels between the three peaks
Surf schools & rental: Beginners/schools frequent the Middle Peak; Padang Padang Surf Camp (guiding/lessons); Canggu schools run trips here; beach warungs/board rental
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: Basic - beachfront warungs/cafes, large parking, a sunset spot; less developed than Canggu but developing
For non-surfers: Tanah Lot temple nearby, scenic black-sand beach, sunsets, rice-field scenery, quiet warungs
