Surf Schools & Lessons in Nusa Dua & Benoa, Bali

Surfing in Nusa Dua and Benoa

Nusa Dua is a resort area on the east of the Bukit Peninsula, and Tanjung Benoa is the water-sports peninsula just north of it. The surf here breaks on offshore reefs, which are usually reached by paddling a long way or by boat. These waves suit intermediate and experienced surfers.

When is the best season?

Bali's east coast tends to work best in the wet season (roughly November to March), when the winds turn offshore on this side of the island. That makes Nusa Dua a good choice when the west coast is blown out.

Learning as a beginner

Beginner lessons for Nusa Dua guests are often held at more forgiving spots, sometimes with transfers to Kuta or the Bukit's softer beach breaks. Check where your lesson will take place and whether transport is included.

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.
