About Legian Beach
La plage de Legian est l'une des plages de surf les plus accessibles et conviviales pour les débutants à Bali. Située juste entre Kuta et Seminyak, cette plage combine des vagues douces, un fond sablonneux et une atmosphère plus calme que ses voisines. Elle est idéale pour ceux qui apprennent à surfer, grâce à son espace ample pour manœuvrer et à la disponibilité des écoles de surf. C'est également une excellente option pour ceux qui ont déjà maîtrisé les bases et souhaitent progresser dans un environnement détendu.
Local knowledge
Les principaux dangers ici sont les courants de retour qui peuvent vous tirer rapidement le long de la plage et vers la mer, surtout autour de la marée mi-haute à haute et sur des houles plus grosses — gardez un œil sur les repères et ne luttez pas contre le courant si vous êtes pris. Le trafic sur la plage est l'autre gros problème : les écoles de surf, les débutants sur des planches en mousse et les nageurs encombrent l'intérieur, donc les collisions sont un vrai risque. Le fond sablonneux signifie pas de reef, mais attention aux méduses occasionnelles et à la forte shorebreak qui se ferme lors d'une poussée à marée basse.
Accès très facile — garez votre scooter ou votre voiture le long de Jalan Pantai Legian ou près de l'un des warungs en bord de mer et traversez directement le sable jusqu'à l'eau. Il y a de nombreux cafés en bord de mer, des locations de surf et des écoles le long de la plage si vous avez besoin d'une planche ou d'une Bintang après la session. Pagayez à travers les chenaux entre les pics pour éviter le pire des vagues blanches et des foules de débutants.
Une shortboard standard fonctionne lors d'une journée propre de taille tête haute, mais dans les conditions typiques de beachbreak douces et désordonnées, vous vous amuserez beaucoup plus avec quelque chose avec un volume supplémentaire — un fish, un groveler, ou une planche de taille intermédiaire pour maintenir votre vitesse à travers les sections molles. Les débutants et ceux qui s'améliorent devraient prendre une planche en mousse ou une plus grande planche en mousse des écoles juste sur le sable.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

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.
