About Impossibles
Impossibles est l'un des spots les plus longs et les plus spectaculaires de la péninsule de Bukit, au sud de Bali. Fidèle à son nom, la vague était autrefois considérée comme "impossible" à surfer dans son intégralité en raison de sa vitesse et de sa longueur, bien qu'aujourd'hui elle soit bien connue pour offrir des murs infinis parfaits pour des manœuvres rapides et des sections tubulaires. Située entre Padang Padang et Bingin, ce reef break offre une longue gauche rapide qui peut se diviser en plusieurs pics le long du récif. C'est une vague puissante et exigeante, non recommandée pour les débutants, mais pleinement appréciée par les surfeurs intermédiaires et avancés dans des conditions moyennes à grandes.
Local knowledge
Récif de corail vivant, peu profond et tranchant sur toute la longueur de la vague — les wipeouts dans les sections intérieures vous mettront sur le récif, donc c'est sérieux à marée basse et lors des plus gros jours. Un fort courant longshore longe le récif et rend le long paddle de retour un véritable entraînement, et la vitesse de la vague signifie qu'il est facile de se faire prendre à l'intérieur entre les multiples pics. Des oursins se cachent dans le plateau du récif, et la sortie soutenue par la falaise peut devenir délicate si le swell augmente pendant que vous êtes à l'eau.
Garez-vous au sommet de la falaise près des warungs au-dessus de Bingin/Impossibles et empruntez les escaliers raides et le chemin descendant à travers l'hébergement en falaise jusqu'à la plage en bas. Depuis le sable, chronométrez votre paddle à travers le canal — c'est un long paddle jusqu'au lineup, et le courant fait beaucoup de travail en vous tirant le long du récif. À marée basse, sortez prudemment par le même chemin avant que le sable ne disparaisse contre la falaise.
Apportez une planche de shortboard rapide et réactive sur laquelle vous pouvez vraiment couper et pomper — cette vague récompense la vitesse et le surf rail-to-rail sur une planche épaisse. Lors des jours plus gros et plus solides, optez pour une step-up afin de pouvoir faire les longs murs rapides et vous glisser dans les sections tubulaires.
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.
