About Canggu

The Canggu area (Batu Bolong, Echo Beach and nearby peaks) offers a mix of forgiving beach-break peaks and punchier reef on bigger days. Its accessibility and variety make it a favourite for surfers building consistency.

Like the rest of Bali’s west coast it is best in the dry season with morning offshore winds.
