About Impossibles
Impossibles es uno de los spots más largos y espectaculares de la Península de Bukit, en el sur de Bali. Fiel a su nombre, la ola solía considerarse "imposible" de surfear en su totalidad debido a su velocidad y longitud, aunque hoy en día es bien conocida por ofrecer paredes interminables perfectas para maniobras rápidas y secciones tubulares. Ubicado entre Padang Padang y Bingin, este reef break ofrece una larga e intensa izquierda que puede dividirse en varios picos a lo largo del arrecife. Es una ola poderosa y exigente, no recomendada para principiantes, pero muy disfrutada por surfistas de nivel intermedio y avanzado en condiciones de tamaño medio a grande.
Local knowledge
Arrecife de coral vivo, poco profundo y cortante a lo largo de toda la ola — las caídas en las secciones interiores te llevarán directo al arrecife, por lo que es peligroso con marea baja y en días de mayor tamaño. Una fuerte corriente longitudinal recorre el arrecife y hace que el largo remo de regreso sea un verdadero esfuerzo, y la velocidad de la ola facilita quedarse atrapado dentro entre los múltiples picos. Erizos de mar acechan en la plataforma del arrecife, y la salida con acantilado de fondo puede complicarse si el swell sube mientras estás en el agua.
Estaciona en lo alto del acantilado, cerca de los warungs sobre Bingin/Impossibles, y baja por las empinadas escaleras y el camino a través del alojamiento en la ladera del acantilado hasta la playa. Desde la arena, elige bien el momento para remar por el canal — es un remo largo hasta el lineup, y la corriente hace gran parte del trabajo arrastrándote a lo largo del arrecife. Con marea baja, sal con cuidado por el mismo camino antes de que la arena desaparezca contra el acantilado.
Trae una shortboard de performance rápida y con drive con la que puedas hacer trim y pump de verdad — esta ola premia la velocidad y el surfeo de rail a rail por encima de una tabla gruesa. En días más grandes y sólidos, súbete a una step-up para poder enlazar las largas y veloces paredes y meterte en las secciones de tubo.
moderate — be polite, wait your turn.

Surfing in Bali
Full Bali surf guide →Bali is the beating heart of Indonesian surfing — the island that put the archipelago on the world surf map back in the early 1970s, and still the easiest place on earth to fall in love with riding waves in the tropics. It packs an absurd density of quality breaks into a small island: machine-perfect reef barrels on the Bukit Peninsula, mellow beach breaks on the west coast, and a Bali Sea wave or two over on the east.
✈️Getting there
Bali is the simplest surf destination in Indonesia to reach. Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar handles direct flights from across Asia and Australia, plus connections worldwide via Jakarta, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Doha and beyond. From Australia it's a short hop from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane.
🛵Getting around
The default surfer transport is a scooter (110–150cc). It's cheap, easy to rent daily or monthly, and lets you slip down narrow Bukit lanes and beat the traffic. Bring or rent a board rack/strap. Wear a helmet, ride sober, and know that traffic is chaotic and Bali's road-accident rate is high — many travellers come unstuck here.
🌤️Climate & season
Bali has two seasons. The dry season runs roughly April to October — sunny, lower humidity, and the prime surf window for the south and west coasts, with consistent groundswell and clean morning offshore winds. This is peak season; expect crowds and book ahead.
