Surfing the weather in Medewi
Medewi sits on Bali’s west coast in Jembrana, home to one of the island’s longest left-hand point breaks: a mellow, slow-peeling wave that can run for hundreds of metres on the right day. Because it breaks over a rock-and-cobblestone point, the Medewi waves favour mid-to-high tide and clean, offshore mornings.
Best time to surf Medewi
The best weather for surfing lines up with Bali’s dry season, roughly April to October, when south-east trade winds blow offshore in the mornings and consistent Indian Ocean swell wraps into the point. Early starts are rewarded with the cleanest conditions before the wind turns onshore around midday. The wet season (November to March) still serves up fun, quieter days. Water stays warm year-round at roughly 27 to 29 °C. Boardshorts or a bikini and a light rashguard are all you need. Want to time your paddle-out?

Medewi waves: what to expect
Medewi is a forgiving, long left that’s ideal for longboarders, improvers and intermediate surfers learning to ride a point break. It’s rarely heavy and far less crowded than the breaks on the Bukit Peninsula. On bigger south-west swells the wave has more push and longer walls; on smaller days it’s a relaxed cruiser. As always: check the conditions in person before paddling out.
