Kuta Reef

Kuta Reef

Picture 1 of 1

Kuta Reef is located about 800 mtrs offshore, infront of the Sandi Phala Motel. The best way to get out there is by paying one of the local boat operators a few dollars to run you out and then to come and pick you back up when your finished having fun.

Wet/Dry Season
Dry Season – April/October

Best Swell Direction
South

Best Size
4-5ft is the optimum size on the mid to high tide

Best Winds
SE Tradewinds

Crowd Factor
Due to Kuta Reefs central location it can get very crowded, sometimes up 60 surfers in the water. But, there are all types of different levels of surfer, so there’s always a few waves to be had. Kuta Reef, when the conditions are right is a world class lefthander! With waves winding out for up to 200 mtrs and a couple of good hollow barrel sections as well.

NEVA !!!!!!!!!! if anyone is heading over there use the boats out the front of kartika plaza they were good blokes and shared the fruits of kuta reef

    My bro’s who have their boats right out the front of the Pantai Restaurant (Tuban) won’t hesitate to drop in on either Aussie or Japanese… LOL

  • bluelines Says:

    Slim,

    u made urself look like a gago, balos dont drop in if you respect us…we are all cool if you be cool with us. Be careful what you write your still a guest in OUR county.

    Note from Slim;
    Just letting you know that the person responsible for these nasty posts is not a Balinese but some idiot who thinks he is an expat and has the sole rights for the waves in Bali. All these comments are coming from the same PC under false email accounts. We are working on having him reported as I type.

    Hey kale !

    Glad to hear your coming over mate, your going to be stoked !
    Yeah unfortunately it does get under 3ft and yeah there’s still plenty of waves when it does. Perfect size for 13yr olds !!

    Hello there..just a comment on shoulder hoppers..the people that drop in on others are all kooks where ever they live..no one owns the ocean..after the 4 trips I’ve made to Indo ,it doesnt matter how much respect you give the locals , they still take off on people if they think they are owed waves because of their inability to travel and experience other cultures..they want to make their living from visitors but you can’t get respect if you don’t give respect..Respect isn’t something that owed ,it’s something that earned from being a gracious person with good manors..on my last visit to bali I spent a week surfing bingin and other than a few Brazilians, the Indo’s were the ones dropping in on everyone..and don’t give me that crap about them living there and deserving waves for that reason..the ocean is a gift from Heaven isn’t it ? My 40 years of waveriding has taught me to show respect for the people whose county I’m visiting and hope the locals give a reason to deserve that respect

    You guys are all freaking me out! I’m from Surfers Paradise and only a beginner surfer travelling to Bali on Saturday to learn more. I hope there are a couple of beginner spots with no agro surfers. Could you suggest some?

  • Kale Says:

    Sweet! just from you slim i’m more excited. yeah, its not like im a beginner, been surfing since i was 5. but yeah, do you guys recommend anything for me because i don’t want to be getting owned at ulu’s cave or on the reef. haha, thanks for getting back to me
    :)

  • slim Says:

    Hey Kristy, don’t worry bout all the hype on agro surfers, you usually only find agro if you give agro :)

    You’ll be fine and I bet you make lots of local friends !!

  • Kale Says:

    I will be bringing 2 boards along 5′2 and 5′7 i don’t no what i should bring because i’m not sure if the 5′2 is going to be so good for me as i will be surfing 4-5 medewi, should i bring the 5′7 and 5′8 or should i bring the 5′2 along too.

    Thanks
