Airport's
Edit SpotAbout
Keep an eye on the planes around, just in case...
Atmosphere:
Dry season only (May - September), more likely to break from June to August.
Pretty cool, rarely crowded : excellent !
After the surf, you can go back to Jimbaran and go eat/drink something at Uluwatu Café, just meters away on that beach : choose your fish straight from their aquarium.
Additional Info:
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.
Location
Loading...Access
If you arrive on Bali by plane, at daylight, just look down as you approach the landing strip : Airport's is the waves breaking South of the landing strip (righthander) and North of it (lefthander).
To get surfing on each of these, you have either to paddle (have you enough muscles ?!) or rent a boat at Jimbaran "harbor", just close to the airport.
