Balian's lefts are usually longer and better shaped than its right. Nice spot, not crowed but u must go in the early morning cause usually at 11:00 am comes onshore winds This is a typical beatiful indo break. Long very long left and righthanders. When you enter the water you will be taken by the current to the right . Do not try to master the current because you simply will not succeed. instead just paddle out . after about 50 meters offshore paddle to the left. It's a very long paddle to the peak but at the same time you get very very long rides.
Sometimes a decent righthander. Usually clean with few people out in the mornings before the trade winds set in at around 12pm.
Occasionally barrels. On those days if you take off late you get barreled or wiped out because half of the waves are messy close outs on barrel days.
Often the wave has an unpredictable shifty peak with a weird sluggish slow ride.
Occasionally get's good and if you happen to be there at the right time it can be solid.
It's a gamble.
Hollow, powerful and very, very close to the shoreline...yep, you can get slammed against the shallow rocky bottom....so make sure to pull out before it closes out !!! Bring tour board since it is not a surfing town, you won´t find board rental
Respect the people of the place and their gods then this is not just a normal place. When you do so, you will get some of the best surf.Be nice and pay the locals AFTER they watched over your car.BE CAREFUL when going out (reef & waves).Works good only on lowest and highest tides of the month (I only tried the lowest tide).
there two waves, one at the north side of the spot, wich is a lefthander: very difficult (almost a closeout) but cleaner and hollowerthe other one, a righthander, is a little rougherbut easier
Tanjung A'an is a right pointbreak with live coral reef under your feet. Can be surfed at all tides, all year round, it is VERY SHALLOW at middle to low tide. Tubes anytime.You will probably park the car in the middle of a ghost holiday resort (old property of Suharto's kids): maybe you will not see no one but if you do, give money to the olders and give pens (PENS !) to the kids, to go to school.After your session, chances are the locals will have noticed you and come around to see who you are. Take the fresh coconut they will give you, it's absolutely wonderful.
Airport's right and left need quite a big swell to break. When you need to take the 7' gun elsewhere, come check here with your 6'4''.You can take a taxi or park the car in Jimbaran village without problem, walk on the beach to the fishing harbor (hard to call it really a harbor, but...) and ask a captain to get you out there. The righthander wave (South of the airport) makes more tubes but the lefthander gets bigger. This is a good alternative for surfing Kuta overcrowded waves.
