Bali is most unique for surfing because of the huge swell that is built as it travels north from the southern oceans wrap around and fully cover a 360-degree area, it can catch a swell traveling in any direction. There is always somewhere to surf, too, in many wind conditions. As “off-shore” winds are required for the best surfing conditions, the westerly winds of the dry seasons mean that the point breaks and beach breaks of the western coast are ideal while, conversely, in the rainy seasons the reefs off the eastern coast are perfect. With an almost circular isthmus at the southern tip of the island, most of these destinations are only a short distance apart, so checking the conditions for the best surfing spot of the day is not a problem.
