Common questions
Is Uluwatu good for beginners?
No. It is a shallow reef with a cave entry, strong current and a crowd that knows it. Learn at Kuta or Batu Bolong first.
What are the sections at Uluwatu?
Temples at the top, Racetracks in the middle, Outside Corner on the biggest days, and the Peak in front of the cave. One reef; the section that works depends on the size.
What tide is best at Uluwatu?
Mid to low for the main peaks. The cave entry and exit are easier with some water; at dead low the inside is very shallow.
When is the best time of year for Uluwatu?
April to October, the dry season - south-west groundswell with easterly offshores, biggest in June, July and August.
How do I get in and out at Uluwatu?
Down the steps from the clifftop warungs and out through the cave at the bottom. Coming in, aim for the cave and time it between sets; on a big day the current pushes you past it towards Padang.
