Surf spot guide · Bali, Indonesia
Airport Rights is a renowned but fickle right-hand reef break near Bali's airport that delivers long, powerful, world-class waves when large swells and favorable winds align.
High Waves
Large waves up to 2.2m expected at Airport Rights. Peak conditions around 9:00 PM.
Exercise extreme caution when entering the water. Strong currents and large waves present. Warning valid until 9:00 PM.
Located near Ngurah Rai International Airport, Airport Rights is a world-class right-hand reef break on the southern side of the airport runway, wrapping into Jimbaran beach in Bali. It offers long, fast walls perfect for advanced maneuvers and barrels on a solid swell, but the wave only comes alive with a rare combination of a large southwest to west swell, high tide, and northeast winds. The spot works best during the dry season with these specific conditions. Access is typically by boat from Jimbaran or Kuta, as paddling out is possible but challenging due to distance, strong currents, and sharp shallow coral reef. This reef break demands caution, especially at lower tides, and is suitable only for experienced surfers. Crowds and localism can be significant, particularly during peak season and favorable conditions.
