Visitor reviews of Canggu surf break
(NOTE: Reviews may be edited by our content team for the purposes of ensuring accurate and relevant information)
“Our local stretch of beaches, from "Stairs" to "Batu Bolong". Various breaks reef/sand lefts and rights, working on different tides. Overall one of the most consistent areas on the island. At least 5 breaks within walking distance. Can be blown out sometimes. Can hold swells up to 12 ft. on a good day. Batu Bolong can get crowded sometimes. Old Man's is a great longboard wave, but can be challenging at solid sizes, Rivermouth is a fun righthander, but only holds swell up to ~6ft.
Nice little cafés and warungs at Echo Beach and Batu Bolong for you aftersurf meal.”
