High Waves
Large waves up to 2.7m expected at Nikko. Peak conditions around 6:00 AM.
Exercise extreme caution when entering the water. Strong currents and large waves present. Warning valid until 9:00 PM.
Nikko is a reef break near Sawangan on Bali’s southeastern Bukit Peninsula, in front of the former Nikko resort area. It favors clean southern Indian Ocean swells and can produce fast right-hand waves with occasional hollow sections. The reef is generally more manageable on a rising or higher tide, when the inside becomes less exposed. It is best suited to confident intermediates and advanced surfers because waves break over shallow coral and there is limited room for mistakes. Crowds are usually lighter than at nearby Geger, although local surfers and resort guests can concentrate around the best peak.
Bali
Geger Left is the left at the southern end of the Nusa Dua reef, on the corner of reef off Pura Geger. Three peaks line up outside the channel and grow in size and power the further out you go, from an intermediate inside section to an outside peak that jacks up on the edge of the Lombok Strait. It is a wet season wave, cleanest when a west or north-west wind blows offshore.
