Bali Tropic, also known as Tirta Harum, is a reef-rocky break near Bali Tropic Hotel in Nusa Dua. The bottom consists of coral, sharp rocks, and sand. Wave power is ordinary, with normal rides of 300-500 metres and exceptional rides exceeding 500 metres. West to southwest swells and west winds are favoured, particularly from November through April. The break is suited to experienced surfers and works best around high tide, also favouring rising and falling tides.

Bali
Black Stone breaks on the south side of the Nusa Gede headland at Nusa Dua, where backwash off the rock wedges the peak into a steep, fast take-off. It is mostly lefts with a short right off the peak, it wants mid tide and a small to medium wet season swell, and it holds something for every level from whitewater on the inside to overhead sections out the back.
