Surfing in Medewi

Medewi is in Jembrana Regency, roughly 2.5–3 hours' drive from the airport. It's a world away from busy south Bali, with rice fields, a black-sand and cobblestone beach, and a long left-hander that can give some of the longest rides on the island.

Is Medewi good for beginners?

Medewi's point break is a favourite for improving surfers, because the wave is usually mellow and long rather than hollow. Complete beginners can learn on smaller days with a local instructor, who will pick a section with gentle whitewater. The bottom is rocky in places, so lessons with a local school are strongly recommended.

Best time to surf Medewi

Like the rest of Bali's west coast, Medewi is generally best in the dry season (around April to October) with offshore morning winds. Early sessions are usually the cleanest.

How much do surf lessons cost?

As a rough guide, a 2-hour group lesson in Bali usually costs around IDR 350,000–500,000 per person, and a private lesson around IDR 600,000–1,000,000. Transport, board hire and photos may be extra, so check what's included.
