Surfing in Medewi (What’s it Actually Like)!?

In this video, I break down what surfing Medewi Point is actually like and show you one of the best places to stay in town!!

I have some amazing memories of this place. This wave got me hooked on surfing. The first time I ever surfed was at the point and some of the locals took me out to the back straight away without trying the whitewater first. The swell was small, maybe just waist high but at the end of the session, I was gliding down the line on a big soft top for at least 15-20 seconds per wave. Today I can vividly remember some of those waves. At the end of that week, the swell got bigger, that was a different story haha. This was about 4-5 years ago, with only a handful of people in the line-up.

Had the pleasure of surfing it with just one buddy, nobody else out in the water. Some of the longest waves I've ever had, super fun.

I was lucky enough to catch this wave on a really big day (8 ft +) and was one of the best surfs of my life. Because the wave is so long and the crowd is more intermediate than anywhere else I surfed in Bali I got pretty much any wave I wanted. Every wave I did more turns than I've ever done before, legs were burning like crazy. The biggest problem is you hop off the wave at the end with a huge grin thinking I want another and then you see just how long your paddle is to get back to the top of the point again. Legs and arms were both destroyed afterwards!

Medewi was one of the highlights of my month long solo trip to Bali. Fun wave on a dbl overhead day but I was shocked to see the crowd had that many people.

I was there last July in that exact room at Pink Barrel mate haha how good! Musta just missed eachother. Reza and his missus are legends. Had some real good surfs there when the sections link up all the way to the beach.

Bizarre. I am a beginner surfer and drove from Canggu to check out the wave last week. I was sitting on my bike watching the surfers and this guy kept catching waves, getting out and walking back up to paddle back out. Then your video pops up in my feed today and I'm like, oh that guy was YOU. Ha

Spent a month in Medewi early this year. As a newbie it was a great experience. Started of at the Medewi secret surfcamp with a great indo family and later at West Break. There are certainly some secret beach breaks both east and west of the point. The point is massive so 30-40 peeps is no problem. Its also close enough for a few days traipsing over to Java.

You can get 40-50 people in the water but 30% of them are in no danger of catching a wave although they are a danger to themselves and everyone else. And there are 3 or 4 take off spots on the larger days so not that hard to get a few waves.

Faaarrkk!

Me and a mate surfed it in 88. Accommodation was a bit basic so we stayed at Balian beach and drove up each morning. Never had more than a handful or surfers out. Some mornings we just surfed Balian instead. By ourselves.

Not sure if I want to ruin the memory by going back !

Which is a bummer because it’s such a nice friendly feel good wave.

Also is this now Dan ? In November ? Supposed to be off season. (Guess it’s just crowded all the time now 🙁)

[Hydrnaught]

Bali in general, has become I've found quieter places to surf & they don't involve Indonesia. Places no one would think of in the first instance.

[carlossalgueiro]

[erdemulubas]
