Rompe di fronte all'omonimo hotel, ottima destra su fondo di corallo. E' raggiungibile con battello o nuotata di una ventina di minuti. Non tirare troppo l'onda per non ritrovarsi nel basso fondale sul corallo.
Far from shore, where you’re sipping your afternoon cocktail, you may notice what appears to be a perfect spinning right-hander, this is Hyatt reef. Upon closer inspection, Hyatt reef can be a little shifty, a little sectiony and a little unpredictable. Technically an extension of Sanur, Hyatt reef is one of the 4 different peaks along the 4 kilometres of reef in Sanur. However, Hyatt reef stands alone in its well-groomed open inside bowls and heavy outside barrels. One of the many breaks in Bali that takes its namesake from a local hotel, Hyatt reef is a long (often hollow) right-hander that breaks quickly over a shallow reef. Typical near perfect Bali surf, Hyatt reef does not disappoint. On smaller days, expect a long soft shoulder great for everyone from beginners to Kelly Slater.
Hyatt Reef is one of the many long right-handers you can expect in the Sanur area. The break itself is broken into three sections: Outer peak, main peak, and inside peak. The outer peak is about a 100-metre paddle from where you’ll find most surfers known for short, steep, and hollow waves. On bigger days, a sharp pintail will help you make the quick and steep bottom turn necessary to keep pace and connect to sections further inside. The main peak is located directly in front of the Hyatt Hotel in Sanur. The current is nothing to scoff at but you can expect everything from steep drop-ins, soft shoulders, or open bowls (with barrels) depending on conditions. If you’re around on a day when Nusa Dua is about 8ft+ expect Hyatt Reef to be firing. The inside at Hyatt Reef is typically a bit more crowded with surfers of mixed abilities. This is due to the typically soft right shoulder that slows down in deeper water at the end of the reef. Dive boats and spectators are to be expected at the end of this section of Hyatt reef so keep your eyes on a swivel.
