Character
01Uluwatu is defined by multiple left-hand reef sections over coral and lava reef. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02S–SW swell, e–se trade wind and section dependent · low to mid form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 1.2–3.5 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03This is an advanced profile: positioning, entry and exit should be assessed before committing. Pay particular attention to shallow reef, strong currents, cave entry and exit. Local signs and advice always take priority.
