Bali / Kuta Reef

Inside the lagoon you can kiteboard with every tide. The lower the tide the less choppy and flatter the water will be. On the famous surf reef, Kuta Reef, just 500m out, the best tides are medium to high tides. With low tides there are some rocks (nearly) exposed, so watch out for that. Kuta Reef is a lefthander, just like Middles and Airports Left which are all on the same stretch of reef. Depending on the tides and wind direction the quality of the wave changes. But keep in mind these are still Bali style waves! With higher tides you can start the best from the beach between the Hard Rock Hotel and the Discovery Shopping Mall. Access to this beach is from the Kuta Art markets. This beach is very wide, with lots of room for launching and landing your kite. The raining season brings a lots of garbage and drift wood on this beach though. Best months are between December and March. The wind in this season is not very predictable. Mostly rain fronts bring in wind. Best kite sizes will be between 16 and 10 sqm. Always keep an eye open to sudden weather changes which can bring unpredictable wind!
