South swell, medium size (max. 6 feet) with incoming or high tide and light or no winds at all. (sunrise or sunset).

Localization:
Canggu is localized just after Kerobokan at about 20 min. from Kuta in Tanah Lot´s direction (North).

Type of wave:
At Canggu there are many reefs and waves but the best is and more famous is Pererenam, a righthander with a long barrel just after the drop followed by a good wall for top turns where there is also a left that is a little shorter but also with a good section for maneuvers. Around 300 meters from this point of rights, there are two lefthanders that can get really good depending on conditions. All this waves are excellent for a high performance surfing.

By the road that goes to Tanah Lot following the signs to Pererenam.

Crowd factor:
Canggu is the spot for daily trainings for many of the best balinese surfers getting crowded almost everyday of the season with a lot of balinese and Japanese.

There are some excellent hotels in the area but at the beach only a few warungs serving local dishes and snacks.

Because of the constant crowd and the many locals that surf really good, the best is to get here very early when the tide is high in the morning. Try to be discreet and don´t draw attention.
