Davanti al centro abitato di Sanur l'onda rompe su due diversi spot a seconda della marea. il reef è davanti all'hotel Gran Bali Beach, famoso per essere l'unica costruzione di Bali più alta delle palme. Le onde sono destre e sinistre. Non funziona sempre forse a causa dell'isoletta che la ripara un pò e per lavorare bene c'è bisogno che la swell sia molto grossa, spesso quando Nusa Dua è troppo grande.

In the heart of Sanur juts in front of the Grand Bali Beach Hotel, is considered one of the world best right reef break when over 8 feet but this happen very rarely. It breaks 500m offshore and can produce very long barrels, watch out for big clean up sets. Not for Nancy boys over 6 feet, watch the low tide.
I had couple of perfect sessions when around head high and few surfer!
Got my best wave ever here....

SUP rating: 8 - The right is one of our favorite breaks on med to high tide and wave around 3 - 4 ft
When you've entered the parking area of Sindu Beach you'll spot the two breaks: one right which is on the right side of the channel which can be surfed at all tides and a left at the other side which is better at high tide due to the shallow reef.Wear booties... The left is a very hollow nice wave with fun barrels when over 4 ft, the locals call it "mini pipeline". The right is always very very fast with super shallow reef...

Quite a long way from shore (1 km) really susceptible to wind and tides!
A shifty, hollow, fast and powerful right-hander. Some time closes out, sometimes lines up, it can deliver the best barrel of your life or the worst disastrous wipe out in the inside slab. Rideable for experts from the far right side (don't go too far or you will see yourself on corals!) and also rideable at inner peak for non-experts. Can get very crowded by locals but if you are lucky you will be there only with your friends and the locals who took you there.
There is also a Left Hander in the other side of the channel that is great for learner! Fun wave with good power but not too long.

Take the name from the Ship that got stuck on the reef in November 20010.
Is a very fast right hander that normally punish you most of the time BUT some time with the correct tide and perfect swell create a perfect wall of about 100 meters.... If you get stuck inside you are doomed and will have to paddle all the way to the tower to get out again. Taking off next to the Wreck is quite nice.
When Sanur is very small here you find the biggest wave!
Simzy Reef
Direction: Peak with long right hander and a short left hander
Level: For everyone
Best Size: 3-6 ft
Best Tide: Mid-low to High
SUP rating: 10
Far away from the beach just right to the light house. Rarely surfed! Only by few locals kids. Is our best SUPS spot we have found so far! Can be reached in 15 minutes of paddling. Best in no wind. Need some size to be breaking but if too big it will close out. Give you a great ride with a nice channel to be able to paddle out.
Baby Reef
Type of break: Coral reef partly covered by sand
Direction: Left Hand
Crowd: You will be by yourself
Best Size: 4-10 ft
Best Tide: Low to Mid-High
Surf Rating: 2
SUP rating: 9
Next to Blue Reef is this mushy long left hander! Can't be really surfed but is great on a SUP, so far the absolutely best spot we have found for beginner.
When Simzy Reef start to close out due to the size or the tide, here you can still have plenty of fun. Need no wind to be good and also some size to be breaking. Very easy wave with nice take off and keep going and going and going! Sweet channel to go out. Can't find a better place to start!
