The wave
Break type: Beach break
Bottom: Sand
Wave direction: Both
Typical wave length: Short-to-medium beach-break peaks; slightly bigger and punchier than Kuta
Ideal swell: SW swell; wide size range, best small-to-moderate; bigger swells wall up and close out (Kuta-strip beach break)
Ideal wind: Offshore in SE to E (dry-season trades)
Working tide: Improves as tide fills; low tide close-outs
Difficulty & skill
Difficulty (1-5): 2
Skill level: Beginner-to-early-intermediate
Options for a mixed group: Same sand-bottom split as Kuta - whitewater inside for learners, outer peaks for progressing surfers; a step up from Kuta as skills grow.

Rips/undertow; shore break on size; crowded lineup. Sand bottom (forgiving).
No reef lifeguard; reef-cut care and clinics nearby; hospitals in Kuta/Denpasar ~20-45 min; good signal onshore
Crowd, access & conditions

Access & parking: Walk off the sand; board rental on the beach
Surf schools & rental: Many schools/rentals (e.g. Pulau Biru at Legian)
Water temp & wetsuit: ~27-29 C year-round; boardshorts / rashguard, no wetsuit
