About Medewi
Medewi is one of Bali's best-loved point breaks, famous for its long, mellow left-handers that roll along the rocky shoreline. Waves here are slow and forgiving, making it an ideal spot for beginners to log long rides and work on cross-stepping or smooth bottom turns. It rarely gets dangerously powerful, though bigger swells can make entry and exit trickier. The laid-back west Bali setting, far from the crowds of the south, makes it a peaceful place to progress.
Local knowledge
The point is lined with large, slippery cobblestones and rocks — the main danger here is getting washed onto them during entry, exit, or a wipeout, so booties are highly recommended. Sea urchins hide in the rock crevices, especially toward the inside section. On bigger swells a rip runs along the point back out toward the take-off zone, which is manageable but worth knowing if you're a less confident swimmer.
Medewi sits right off the main west Bali coastal road (Jl. Denpasar–Gilimanuk) — look for the "Medewi Beach" signpost and pull into the small car park next to the beachside warungs. Paddle out from the rocky point on the western end of the bay; time your entry between sets to avoid being pushed onto the cobbles. Exit the same way or ride your wave all the way to the sandy inside section on the east side of the bay for a gentler scramble out.
This is a longboarder's paradise — bring a noserider or classic single-fin to make the most of those long, peeling walls. On the rare bigger swell days a mid-length or fun-shape keeps things comfortable; shortboards can work but will struggle to generate speed on the slow, rolling sections.
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.
