About Green Bowl

Green Bowl est un spot de surf isolé et puissant, niché sous des falaises de calcaire dramatiques sur la péninsule de Bukit à Bali. La vague se brise dans les deux directions sur un récif peu profond, produisant des barrels raides et creux qui exigent respect et engagement. Son emplacement éloigné — accessible par une longue descente d'escaliers — permet de garder les foules gérables, mais le shore-dump lourd et le récif exposé en font un spot strictement réservé aux surfeurs expérimentés. Venez à marée moyenne à haute et préparez-vous à une solide pagaie à travers la zone d'impact.

Local knowledge

Hazards

Le récif est peu profond, tranchant et vivant — une chute à l'intérieur à marée basse peut vous projeter directement sur le corail avec peu d'eau entre vous et lui. Les oursins sont nombreux le long de la plateforme du récif et près de la base de la falaise, donc des chaussons sont fortement recommandés. Le shore-dump est impitoyable : se faire prendre à l'intérieur signifie un tour de machine à laver sur un récif sec, et un courant de retour le long de la falaise peut rendre la sortie délicate lorsque le swell est fort.

Getting there

Depuis la route principale de Bukit près d'Ungasan, suivez les panneaux vers Green Bowl Beach et garez-vous au sommet de la falaise — une descente raide d'environ 300 marches taillées dans le calcaire vous amène à la plage. L'entrée se fait directement depuis la plage ; chronométrez votre sortie pour passer à travers le shore-dump entre les séries, en vous collant sur le côté gauche de la baie où l'eau est légèrement plus profonde. Sortez par le même chemin — ne traînez pas sur la plateforme du récif et faites attention à votre pied sur les escaliers humides lors du retour.

Board

Un shortboard haute performance dans la gamme de 6'2" à 6'6" fonctionne bien pour la plage standard de 3 à 6 pieds — quelque chose avec un peu de volume sous la poitrine pour vous aider à pagayer à travers la zone d'impact. Lorsque le swell solide le pousse au-dessus de 6 pieds et que les barrels deviennent vraiment lourds, passez à un step-up de 6'8" à 7'0" avec plus d'épaisseur et une queue resserrée pour tenir lors des chutes raides.

Surfing in Bali

Full Bali surf guide →

Bali is the beating heart of Indonesian surfing — the island that put the archipelago on the world surf map back in the early 1970s, and still the easiest place on earth to fall in love with riding waves in the tropics. It packs an absurd density of quality breaks into a small island: machine-perfect reef barrels on the Bukit Peninsula, mellow beach breaks on the west coast, and a Bali Sea wave or two over on the east.

✈️Getting there

Bali is the simplest surf destination in Indonesia to reach. Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar handles direct flights from across Asia and Australia, plus connections worldwide via Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Doha and beyond. From Australia it's a short hop from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.

🛵Getting around

The default surfer transport is a scooter (110–150cc). It's cheap, easy to rent daily or monthly, and lets you slip down narrow Bukit lanes and beat the traffic. Bring or rent a board rack/strap. Wear a helmet, ride sober, and know that traffic is chaotic and Bali's road-accident rate is high — many travellers come unstuck here.

🌤️Climate & season

Bali has two seasons. The dry season runs roughly April to October — sunny, lower humidity, and the prime surf window for the south and west coasts, with consistent groundswell and clean morning offshore winds. This is peak season; expect crowds and book ahead.
