Reef Break Left and Right Hander
Balian beach is located in western of Bali one and half hour drive from Canggu, it’s reef break left and right hander. While not the ultra-perfect green barrels that most surfers come to Bali for, Balian is still a swell magnet, and a place that will have decent surf when everywhere else is flat. The tradewinds blow side shore here, and the raining seasons westerlies blow onshore. Balian is a place for early-morning sessions with the potential for a late-afternoon glass-off. The wave at Balian is a rivermouth beach and rock break that offers up very rippable, shifting, A-frame peaks. Usually the lefts are better than the rights, and both can show an inside barrel section when it all comes together. Balian is not a place to go when there is a big swell running. It will be impossible to paddle out and the currents will become dangerous. If a big swell is running, most surfers will continue west to Medewi and need 45 minutes drive from Balian to arrive at medewi.
