Berawa is a well-known surf spot in Bali featuring consistent beach break peaks and soft, rolling waves. The spot is ideal for beginners and intermediates, but can offer punchier sections on larger swells. Its proximity to popular Canggu means crowds are common, especially during the dry season mornings. The sandy bottom and minimal hazards make it safer than many nearby reefs. Local surf schools operate regularly, and the area is surrounded by cafés and accommodations. Early mornings or sunset sessions are best to avoid the midday crowds.

Soft peaks that peel across Berawa's sand, forgiving for learning surfers year-round.

◉ Local knowledge

Local knowledge from regulars at Berawa Beach.

01
Respect locals
Arrive early to avoid crowds, the main peaks fill with surf schools through the morning
02
The rights are the longer wave here, not the lefts
03
The rights run best when the swell has more west in it, around 220 degrees and above
04
The reefy section to the north generally holds the better shape outside the wet season

HAZARDS · KNOW BEFORE YOU PADDLE

The lava reef that anchors the sand is razor sharp, and surfers regularly cut their feet on it while sitting on their boards
Rip currents run between the peaks and are strongest near the river mouth
River and street runoff pushes polluted water into the lineup after heavy rain, and infections are common in the wet season
Surf schools and beginners crowd the main peaks, so collisions are the most likely incident here
The lineup has a reputation for regulars behaving badly towards visiting surfers
