About Ketewel
Ketewel est un reef break amusant situé le long de la côte est plus calme de Bali, captant les houles qui s'enroulent autour de l'extrémité sud-est de l'île. Il se brise en tant que droit sur une plateforme de corail, produisant des vagues roulantes et percutantes qui sont idéales pour les intermédiaires cherchant à affiner leurs virages et à lire les rythmes des reef breaks. La foule est généralement légère par rapport aux points chauds de la côte sud de Bali, offrant aux surfeurs beaucoup d'espace pour expérimenter. Faites attention à la marée — elle peut devenir très peu profonde à marée basse sur le récif.
Local knowledge
La plateforme de corail devient dangereusement peu profonde à marée basse — une chute peut signifier des éraflures dues au récif ou pire, donc chronométrez votre session autour de la marée moyenne à haute. Les oursins sont éparpillés sur le fond du récif et sur les rochers d'entrée, donc des chaussons sont fortement recommandés. Il y a un courant modéré de shore-break à l'intérieur qui peut vous pousser latéralement vers la section rocheuse de la plage si vous ne faites pas attention à votre sortie.
Ketewel se trouve le long de Jalan Ketewel, à environ 20 minutes à l'est de Sanur — cherchez le petit warung et le chemin étroit menant à la plage près du banjar du village. Garez-vous sur le bord de la route ou au warung et descendez le long de la côte rocheuse ; pagayez à travers le canal du côté nord du break pour éviter le pire du shore-break et du bord du récif. Sortez par le même chemin — ne laissez pas le courant vous pousser vers le sud sur la section de récif exposée.
Un shortboard polyvalent ou un mid-length performant (7'0"–7'6") gère bien les droits roulants et percutants dans la plupart des conditions. Lors de journées plus petites et plus faibles, un fish ou un hybride vous aidera à générer de la vitesse à travers les sections plus peu profondes ; si une solide houle de l'est ou du sud-est la pousse au-dessus de la tête, passez à une forme légèrement plus épaisse et plus resserrée pour gérer les chutes plus raides sur la plateforme peu profonde.
mellow — relaxed vibe.

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.
