Going to Nusa Dua December 13th. Anyone been surfing here and got any intel to share. Anything really will be appreciated.

Churr

What do you want to know? Am sitting here in nusa2 right now.

One thing I will say is December I usually find other things to do; surf is inconsistent at best, rains are on and with that ear and throat infections, nusa2 has been overrun by surf schools and learners in the last few years and since December has such poor surf (very small most of the time) the issue is exacerbated and it is hard to get a wave that doesn't have someone pushed into it. I usually will try to surf the onshore west coast in the mornings before the winds are up rather than anywhere here in my backyard unfortunately. The flipside is there are a couple peaks that regardless of the time of year are for better & fit surfers only since they are considerably offshore (800-900m), have strong longshore and rip currents, and get comparatively bigger than most places in Bali on same day swell. Most take boats out to those peaks and that can be negotiated on the beach but is definitely not as affordable as it used to be.

you pretty much explained it all and killed my buzz haha..

nah it is what it is.. What are some other options.. feel free to pm me if you don't want to share the information. Ill probably be scootering around dawnys if its whats needed lol..

is there boats to Lombok from there? Basically on a surf mish with the Mrs and kids.. Ill be only one surfing.. mornings usually,

then family friendly entertainment after 1pmish is the plan..

also any cheap massage spots, food spots etc.. think we staying at benoa or something

Nusa dua is pricey; cheaper if you go away from the hotel area but its all relative. You can’t walk without tripping over the next massage spot and yes boats go to Lombok but it’s not really close and would cost you a big chunk of the day each way.

nice.. yeah i know that currenty spot you talk about.. I'm a dog paddler too.. don't mind long paddles but those continous paddling not worth it lol.. what do you suggest getting around, you know any good drivers around the area? don't think mrs up for taking kids on the scooters lol..

Do not ride a scooter here unless you have ridden motorcycles in heavy traffic where you are from. Even then it’s dicey. Every time I have to go ro the hospital for something the emergency room is full of bleeders suffering from motorcycle crash injuries.

I don’t know any drivers. You can rent a car or a car and driver; online agencies abound as well as some counters at the airport. Taxi works too.

yeah I rode scooter last time there. funny story one day we rode from uluz to Kuta just for fun. My mate had no sim card in his phone. we all got seperated and he had to try find his way back home. hour 20 later haha. I like riding the scooters around. they fun. yeah ive heard about the crashes though.. drunk drivers and that..

ive got driver in uluz but thats bit far.. i'll hopefully find one closer to N.D
