Gunung Payung is positioned to catch more swell than almost any other spot in Bali, making it one of the most consistent waves on the south coast.
A quality right breaks over coral reef, with good power and shape. The spot's orientation means it picks up swell from multiple directions, making it rideable when other spots are flat. On bigger days, the wave has real push and hollow sections.
Works in both seasons due to swell-magnet positioning. Best at mid to high tide. Handles a variety of wind directions due to cliff shelter.
Steep cliff descent from the temple area. Beautiful hidden beach at the bottom.
