Legian


Legian is a beach break connected to kuta beach. At high tide at Legian can serve up one of the most power-packed surf beaches in the world, always bigger than kuta reef about 1ft to 3ft bigger if Kuta is 3ft, legian can be up to 4-6ft. Although it closes out on low tide. it also closes out on high tide if the swell is over 8ft. because legian is in the curve  of the beach, it collects the compressed energy of all swells. a much more powerful wave than kuta. 2km further south along the sand. A handy hint is that kuta reef is about the same size as Legian. The first semi-permanent sand bank is at Jalan Melasti, near the legian beach hotel. often uncrowded. The most consecutive peak is at Jalan Padma, near the Bali Padma hotel, which is almost always crowded at high tide. Lefts and rights peel from opposite banks towards each other for 100 meters, then join up right on the sand for a big air finish. you can find less crowded peaks 200 meters up the beach directing north.
