Forecast for Tuesday 1 September
Intermediate : It's good right now. Get in. — Best window: 8h–10h
Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Rights and lefts hollower and more consistent than Batu Bolong, with sections suited to radical manoeuvres. Best at low to mid tide. A favourite for surfers looking for a step up from Canggu's mellow peaks.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Echo Beach usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Echo Beach is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Echo Beach comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Echo Beach, you can also check conditions at Canggu, Kuta, Balangan. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
