Bali is a great destination for beginner surfers, with a variety of breaks that offer gentle waves suitable for learning. We used to run Learn to Surf retreats in Bali with our sister brand, Ocean Soul Retreat - and these are some of our favourite beginner surf locations in Bali:
1. Kuta Beach.
Kuta Beach is one of the most popular surf spots in Bali, and for good reason. It offers a long sandy beach and gentle waves that are perfect for beginners. The best time to surf here is during the dry season, from April to October.
2. Legian Beach.
Legian Beach is located just north of Kuta and offers similar conditions, with gentle waves that are ideal for beginners. It's a popular spot for surf schools, so you'll find plenty of instructors and rental shops.
3. Seminyak Beach.
Seminyak Beach is another popular surf spot that's perfect for beginners. The waves here are gentle and forgiving, and the beach is less crowded than Kuta or Legian.
4. Batu Bolong Beach.
Batu Bolong Beach is located in Canggu and offers a more relaxed vibe than the busier spots in the south. The waves here are gentle and perfect for beginners, and there are plenty of surf schools and rental shops in the area.
These are just a few of our favourite beginner surf locations in Bali. Remember to always surf with caution and respect the locals and the environment. Have fun and enjoy the waves!

There’s something about the ocean. Maybe it’s the rhythm. The way it mirrors your breath. Or the way it invites you to let go—of stress, of tension, of everything you thought you needed to carry.
If you’ve ever been out on the waves, you know that the right gear can make or break your surfing experience. While choosing the right surfboard or wetsuit is crucial, the importance of selecting the best swimsuit for surfing should not be overlooked.
There’s a unique kind of freedom that comes from boarding a plane with just your board bag, a few essentials, and a one-way ticket to somewhere warm and wave-rich. For many, that place is Bali—and for good reason.
