If you’re looking to make the most out of your time in Medewi, both weather and wave conditions should be on your radar:

  • When to Visit and Surf: The ideal time for surfing and general visits to Medewi is from April to October. Consequently, this period promises stable weather and favourable sea winds, setting you up for great surf. Also, the temperatures are comfortable, ranging between 25 and 33 degrees Celsius.
  • Gear Up for Surfing: Picking the right surfboard is crucial. Above all, always watch wave conditions and remember that safety comes first.
  • Weather Tips: Visiting Medewi during the wet season, from November to March, could mean unpredictable weather, including heavy rainfall and high humidity. Although this may not be ideal for surfing, it’s something to consider depending on your travel goals.
  • Surf for beginners: Medewi Beach is known for its long left-hand waves, making it suitable for beginner and intermediate surfers. However, taking beginner lessons and consulting local lifeguards for safety tips is always advisable.

Beyond Surfing: Diverse Activities to Enrich Your Medewi Stay

Surfing might be the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Medewi, but there’s much more to explore. From adrenaline-pumping adventures to enriching cultural experiences, Medewi has a range of activities that distinguish it from other Bali hotspots.
