Medewi is a perfect fun wave for all surfers. It's not scary as the others reef spots and the bottonm is made of boulders. This is the longest left point of Bali. Come early to avoid onshore winds. The swell is generally smaller than at Kuta spots.
Atmosphere
It's a good place to stay few days and have a relaxed surf.

not bad at all - took my wife and her friend there, they both longboard and are pretty good, they loved the spot. It is a little smoky and the water is murky but it was not rainy and the murk was mostly silt. It is a long easy wave with fast and slow sections. Plenty of time to set up and do turns or go for the infinite nose ride. Definately not an advanced surfing wave but fun and reminiscent of a California point break in warm water. It's easy to get in and out east of the point between the rocks. Try not to touch the rocks as they are covered with stuff that cuts. The Medewi boys are cool cruisy locals like waikiki beach boys back in the day, they'll give you waves if you are cool to them and show respect. They also rip and have the waves wired, busting air 360's with ease. Not much barrel but they are there, more of a hotdogging wave that you can try anything on and not worry about getting left behind. Stayed in a nice ac room at Medewi beach Inn, right by Brown Sugar. it was a good cool sleep and only 250,000 rupiah ($25 USD). Spent the nights cruising at Mai Malu drinking bintangs or down by the beach playing dominoes with the boys. Much slower paced than the rest of Bali. Good if you're looking for some long rippable waves. Big ups to Ayam, Rahim, Bobby, and all the Medewi boys for being classic.

Medewi - big waves, raw sewage, burning garbage - If you love good surf, raw sewage from two toxic polluted rivers and the smell of burning garbage - this is the place for you.
