Legian Beach Surf Spot
Legian Beach is widely-known as the more chilled out, laid back sibling of Kuta --- making it ideal for beginners looking to build up their surfing skills. Like in Kuta, the waves some in smooth and steady, with swell height averaging out at somewhere between one to three feet. The break here tends to grow taller in late afternoon
There's a number of reputable surf schools to be found along this sandy stretch, so you can take your pick depending on the kind of vibe you're looking for. The Rip Curl School of Surf is one of the more notable establishments, and is situated next to Double Six Beach. While Bali is home to three Rip Curl-accredited centres, the branch at Legian is where the majority of beginners will go to catch their first wave.
Rip Curl's Level 1 Beach Surfer course will take you through all the basics, setting you up with essential knowledge from basic surfing technique to all-important surfing etiquette. Once you've progressed past stage one, you can move onto Level 2 Reef Surfer before advancing to Level 3 Power Surfer.
Seminyak Surf Spot
Seminyak Beach enjoys a scenic position just to the north of Legian. It's ideally-suited to those who have already mastered the basics, and are keen to continue building up their proficiency on slightly larger waves. There's a great selection of swells that glide towards Seminyak's shore, including plenty of left and right handers, plus short lengths for those that aren't confident enough to soar along the wave for longer periods of time. You'll find many first-timers learning the ropes in Seminyak, and even kids. Dhyana Pura Beach is nearby, and offers much the same kinds of waves but tends to be less crowded.
All of this also one of the best surf spots in Indonesia for beginners. If you're keen to be part of a small class of beginners, or even learn how to surf in a one-to-one session with your instructor, the Samasama Surf Bali offers an array of different courses. Classes tend to be quite small, so you can guarantee you'll get the individual attention you need to build up your skills. The beginner-focused lesson is aimed at first-timers and those looking to refresh the basics, with key objectives including how to handle the board, the correct paddle technique, take-off and forehand/backhand turns. Other vital content on the beginners' course includes safety and how to assess ocean conditions.
