SURF SPOTS
NUSA DUA


Nusa Dua is a very powerfull wave that breaks at about 700 mts from the beach. There are reports of perfect days on the 20 feet scale with real good and clean conditions but the most common is in the 6 to 12 feet range whenever there is a good swell around.

Best conditions:
South swell over 6 feet with W.SW. winds (on shore at Ulu's) and medium to high tide; can hold up at least to 12 feet without a problem.

Localization:
On the west coast of Bali not far from Uluwatu, about 15 to 20 min.

Type of Wave:
Very long and powerful right with some barrel sections; one of the waves on the island most similar to Hawaii.

Access:
The access is by the By Pass road; coming from Kuta, drive past the Mc Donald's of the University (entrance to road to Ulu's) and keep going until the last traffic light where you have to turn right before you get in the hotels complex; from there follow the signs and explore the area as there are several spots around.

Crowd factor:
Nusa Dua can get crowded but the line up here is very long and many peaks can break at different parts of the reef; besides that there are many other spots in the area that can be breaking with perfect conditions without anyone around.

Infrastructure:
The infrastructure at Nusa Dua is excellent and on the beach there are many good restaurants, local warungs and bars...The Hotel complex just off the beach is notorious and big five star hotels are everywhere and so are the golf courses.

Tips:
Because of its long distance to the beach, there are days at Nusa Dua when the current gets real strong so it's good to catch a ride on the boats that take surfers to the line up to save some energy; it's also good to keep an eye on the last section of the wave when the tide is dropping as the reef can get very shallow.
