Sri Lanka

Surf Guide

When Nusa Dua is huge and dangerous, it's worth a look at Sri Lanka. This wave is directly in front of the Club Med Resort. Often Sri Lanka is inconsistent and imperfect, sectioning, and offering only a fat end section. However, when it all comes together, this can be one of the best barrels anywhere. When it's on, Sri Lanka is a very challenging wave to surf, particularly on your backside. To make the wave, you need to drop in behind the peak and immediately enter a dredging barrel section. To misjudge this barrel section usually means a trip to a sharp and shallow reef. There's a local crew that is usually on it the minute Sri Lanka starts to work. These guys know the wave inside and out and it can be quite difficult for a visiting surfer to get a set wave. Click here to download Surfline's Bali Surf Guide pdf.
