About Medewi Beach
La plage de Medewi est l'un des spots de surf les plus spéciaux de Bali pour une raison évidente : elle possède la plus longue gauche de l'île. Ce village côtier paisible, situé sur la côte ouest de Bali, offre un rythme de vie détendu, des vagues douces et une atmosphère idéale pour les surfeurs cherchant à améliorer leur technique sans la pression des foules à Canggu ou Bukit. C'est une vague amicale et fluide qui permet de tailler et de profiter de longues sections exploitables. La communauté locale est accueillante et les environs sont purs : rizières, palmiers, pêcheurs et surf… rien de plus. C'est parfait pour les longboarders, les intermédiaires et les surfeurs en progression.
Local knowledge
Le principal danger est le fond : le point de Medewi est un récif de galets/roches rondes plutôt que de sable, donc la zone de décollage et l'intérieur sont glissants et peuvent tordre les chevilles — des chaussons sont conseillés, et se faire emporter sur les rochers à marée basse est la manière la plus courante dont les gens se blessent ici. C'est une vague douce mais le courant le long du point vous tire vers la ligne et vers l'extérieur, donc ne vous engagez pas trop si vous êtes fatigué. Il y a aussi des oursins et quelques bords tranchants parmi les rochers, et l'embouchure de la rivière à proximité peut transporter des débris et de l'eau trouble après la pluie.
Garez-vous près des warungs et des homestays au sommet du point — il y a un petit parking et un stationnement en bord de route, ainsi que beaucoup de nourriture bon marché et de café avec vue sur le lineup. Depuis la plage, montez le point en passant sur les rochers (faites attention à vos pas) et choisissez votre chemin depuis l'étagère de galets, ou pagayez depuis le côté de l'embouchure de la rivière et laissez le courant vous amener au pic. Sortez de la même manière en revenant sur les rochers, idéalement chronométré entre les séries et pas à marée basse.
C'est une gauche douce, longue et qui déroule, faite pour la puissance de pagaie et le trim — un longboard ou un mid-length est idéal pour profiter des longues sections, et un fish ou une planche grovel fonctionne bien les jours plus petits et plus faibles. Sur un swell plus gros et plus propre, un shortboard à fort volume ou une fun-shape vous permettra de tailler les faces ouvertes, mais vous n'avez que rarement besoin de quelque chose de plus costaud que votre planche de tous les jours ici.
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.
