Common questions
Is Batu Bolong good for beginners?
It is the beginner wave of Bali: slow, long and soft over a deep reef, with surf schools and rentals along the beach. It is also the most crowded lineup on the island.
What tide is best at Batu Bolong?
Mid to high. With more water the wave is slower and safer; at low tide the inside reef shows.
Is Batu Bolong the same as Old Man's?
Yes - Old Man's is the surfers' name, after the longboarders who have ridden it for decades; Batu Bolong is the beach and the temple beside it.
When does Batu Bolong work?
Most mornings year-round. Best in the dry season, April to October, with easterly offshores; in the wet season it still works early before the westerly turns onshore.
