Surfing Bali in October: Perfect Waves, Fewer Crowds

In my last post, we discussed surfing in Bali during September. Now, let’s dive into what you can expect when surfing Bali in October.

October marks the transition from Bali’s dry season to the beginning of the wet season. During this month, the weather starts to change, and so do the surfing conditions. The waves begin to mellow, offering a great balance for surfers of all skill levels.

Whether you’re a beginner looking to catch your first wave or an experienced surfer seeking quality waves, October in Bali provides an ideal environment.

One of the standout benefits of surfing in Bali in October is the reduction in crowd size. As the peak tourist season winds down, you’ll find more space to enjoy the waves.

This is a significant advantage if you prefer a more relaxed and less competitive atmosphere in the water. The waves remain consistent, but with fewer people around, you can truly make the most of each surf session.

The mix of wave quality and crowd size in October also means that you can explore a variety of surf spots across the island. From the renowned breaks at Uluwatu to the more mellow waves at Kuta, there’s something for everyone.

The surf is generally cleaner in the mornings, so it’s a good idea to hit the water early.

In conclusion, if you’re planning a surf trip, October is a great time to visit Bali. The conditions are favourable, and the crowds are thinner, allowing for a more enjoyable experience. In my next post, we’ll explore what surfing in Bali is like in November.
