Canggu

Type of break:
- Right hand river mouth with a reef/rock bottom
- Left hand sand bar with a sand bottom
- Left hand reef break

There are the 3 main breaks at Canggu but there are also a few more options in the area easily accessible from Canggu. Or a short drive north / south. On small days in the waist to head high range there are waves to suit every one. But as it reaches the head to double head high the right hander at the river mouth turns on and can really pack some punch. Likewise with the Sandbar and Left hand reef break right in front of the cafe’s.

Best wind:
North: North North East. Canggu can be pretty much surfed all year round. During the dry season the early mornings have the best conditions before the ESE – SE Tradewind kicks in. Wet season, anytime the wind is relatively light.

Best tide:
Usually Canggu needs a bit of water so around mid to high on the run in and then high to mid on the run out.

Crowds:
This place can get pretty busy through the dry season but get up early and with the right conditions you should have a ball.

    Anyone know if berawa beach gets good and how far it is to walk from berawa to to main spots at canggu?

  • lyn Says:

    Berawa is a 750 meter walk east of Tugu paddle inside reef on an outgoing tide to catch the rip …. its OK but more of a shore beachbreak most of the time

  • Hugo Says:

    Is Canggu worth planning a surf in the wet season?

  • tip top Says:

  • Carl Says:

    Hey fellows.. I was just wondering if there are any decent waves close to legian??
    Cheers

  • slim Says:

    there’s a lot of good beach breaks up there and if you look down to the south you’ll see the Outer Reefs :) Canggu in the other direction

  • Carl Says:

    Thanks for that mate. It’s my first time over there and looking forward to it.
    Thanks again man

  • Steve Says:

    Hi, I am going to Canggu next month and considering staying at “Puri Dajuma Beach Eco Resort” or Echoland B&B”. Are either of these close enough to a good break and if not any other recommendations?
    Cheers

    Hey there, quick question. Would be worth while hiring a car ourselves or use a driver to get around Bali, especially going to Canggu and Uluwatu.

  • slim Says:

    Hey Phil,

    Depends how use to crazy traffic conditions and suicide drivers ? plus cops, petrol and finding your way

    drop me an email

    hey there,just wondering if canggu rivermouth is south of echo beach and south of oldmans? also where is brawa beach? thanks heaps

  • slim Says:

    Nah it’s the other way round, but those waves of Brawa and Old Mans are pretty ordinary waves, very popular with the Euro sector, mini mals, sups……

  • gaz Says:

    cool. thanks slim! is there any decent waves north of echoes? can u recommend anywhere around canggu this time of year?

  • Xtof Says:
