Balian Point
River mouth beach and rock break.
Level：Beginner 〜Advanced
Best size：1〜5f
Season：All year
Access：2 hours west from Kuta.
Look for the sign "BALIAN" at the entrance.This is a river mouth beach and rock-break, creating very rippable, shifting A frame peaks. Wave type is not the ultra perfect green barrels, but it is a swell magnet.
It is better to use a bigger size board due to the strong current, otherwise it's tiresome to paddle out. Leave early in the morning from Kuta, as it can become very crowded on the days that there is no wind.
Halfway Point

Airport Right Reef Point
When conditions are good, you can enjoy a long wall with a tube.
Level：Beginner 〜Advanced
Best size：1〜5f
Season：Dry
Access：From Airport left by canoe, south side of airport runway.
It's been said it will not close out till 10ft, but the best size is 1f〜5f, when conditions are good, you can enjoy a long wall with a tube. The bottom is a shallow coral reef, it's better to wear a wet suit, such as a tapper or a short john. In the dry season, offshore is always blowing, so you don't have to worry about onshore, but too much offshore is not good. The best time is in the morning with no wind.
