  I drive in 1.5 hours, but its a hell of a drive thats true! Check out the nearby Surfcamp called Brown Sugar right on the next Beach. There is a Local called Agus, he knows some incredible Beachbreaks around that Area. Awesome Choice….

  chilled out and Malish is the way to describe Medewi. Lots of flat spots in a point wave -you wait for the end section. then paddle all the way back.The paddle out spot has the sharpest oysters or similar they never fail to cut-and paddling in has sea urchins between the slippery boulders,,wear boots.. But that is NOTHING compared to the trip along the “Hwy of Death” that gets you there.If in a car take video of the Indonesian stunt driving team in action – it never fails to amaze. Good luck..

  Hoges has nailed this reply exactly, especially the drive and the sea urchins….ouch !!

  Really I would like to thank everyone who has made a constructive comment, instead of being a critic. We can’t stop the surfing boom so lets try and pass on some experience to those in need. (nice thought anyway… )

  I surfed Medewi on my 40th birthday trip 10 years ago and had some of the longest waves of my life. My mate had to dig the urchins out of his foot with a nail, but Tea Tree oil fixed up any infections. Take a bottle of Tea Tree oil with you everywhere. Loved the simple paddle out around the corner and the opportunity for the old school big cutties and rebounds. Just booked for my 50th this year and look forward to many long waves with my two sons. In 2001, I wore the old style, hard bottom booties, but found some modern super-flexible ones that I wore every day in Lombok last year. I think I’ll still wear them this year on Bali.

  make sure you go see piping if you need a board or ding repair, a fair trader who manages rocksurf2 warong next to gede home stay, board hire food ect. Piping is a genuine guy and over the years has helped me out no end!!!!!!!! the best massages in the whole of bali are available at Marino,s right on the beach. these are fair dinkum traditional massages, if you want a bit of night life at medowie organize to go see the local volleyball match played under lights check at gede home stay for the local fixture, trust me its a night of sport you will remember for a very long time. as for the road of death get a driver and arrive alive!!!!!

  hi madman,

  you seem to really know the place. I have a possible week off in mid july. Given the short time and low budget I am thinking of going straight to Medewi to avoid crowds and score waves. I also have little space as will be on work trip to oz, so I will take my 7ft semi only, because I will try a day or two in Bali on the way out. Also just going to wing accomadation. What do you think. ta

  I will travel to the island in this dates and I would like practice the surfing in this spot.

  Thanks!!!

  I’m on a wave ski and have heard medwi is a suitable spot. My 14yo son rides a short board. Are we both likely to have a good surf?

• slim Says:

  Hi Mark, yeah it probably would. But remember conditions change it can be a nice and long wave for long or short board etc. Good place for day trips as there’s not a lot else to do in the immediate vicinity.

  Hi I am wondering if there are any waves up there in January? Or is it the wrong time of year?

• Bunyip Says:

  Medewi has an annual swell reliability of 98% according to one website. If you stay more than a day you are guaranteed a wave. Mid to high tide is best – but it works pretty much every single day from what I can work out.
