Surfing in Bali
Bali is renowned for being one of the best-surfing destinations in the world. For good reason! It’s hard to believe that conditions like those in Uluwatu, Medewi, and Canggu can exist. But they do, and seeing is believing.
While the surf in Bali is fairly consistent throughout the year, the best swell arrives in the dry season which begins in May and ends in September. With that being said, you can surf in Bali most days. Keramas, in particular, performs very well in the wet season.
Planning your travels according to the surf season? Read our month-by-month guide here.
Some of the best spots to surf in Bali can be found in Medewi, Canggu, Uluwatu, and Keramas. The island is scattered with secret spots which can be very tempting when the crowds rock up – which they do. However, we do encourage you to familiarize yourself with the current and swell before paddling out.
Whether you’re an absolute beginner who’s wet behind the ears (excuse the pun) or a seasoned surfer, there’s a spot for you. Bali caters to beginners and there are several surf schools and rentals available.

Best Coworking Spaces in Bali Near Surf
While surfing can quite easily take up half of your waking hours, the other half is most likely spent doing your job. While popular office spaces like Dojo and B Work make it to the top of most lists, there are plenty of other options out there.

Camp 308: Canggu
Camp 308 Coliving and Coworking is our personal favorite spot in Bali. Located on the outskirts of Canggu in Pererenan, Camp 308 has everything that you need in a central and convenient location.
The prices are affordable and the views from the first floor are spectacular. A short 500-meter stroll (or lazy scooter ride) will find you on the threshold of a pumping surf spot, and the coworking space is a few meters from the comfort of your room but not inside your room. Although, there is a spacious desk if you prefer to hibernate with an airconditioner.
Perhaps the cherry on the top is Sundeck Kitchen, the restaurant on-site that serves up the most delicious fluffy pancakes and vegan curry soup.
What do we love?
- Quiet, but vibrant, neighborhood (it’s not easy to strike the balance)
- Incredibly close to Ollie’s favorite surf spot
- Coworking and coliving in one space
- Fantastic host and staff
