Sandbar

Sandbar is a surf spot located in Bali, Indonesia. The spot provides both left and right waves. It’s situated near Echo Beach in Canggu, offering A-frame waves with the lefts typically being longer. The bottom consists of coral reef and sand, and the spot works at all tides. Sandbar is considered a regional classic and is suitable for intermediate surfers and pros. Wave length ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The spot is known for its hollow, powerful, and wedgy peaks, making it appealing to advanced surfers and bodyboarders, especially during larger swells. The inside reef contributes to fun, long rides, and the sandy bottom provides a forgiving landing for aerial maneuvers. Sandbar works best during the dry season, from April to October, when southeast trade winds prevail. Optimal conditions occur with a south swell direction and wave heights between 4 to 8 feet. The best sessions typically happen at mid to high tide. Surfers should be cautious of strong currents in the area. Sandbar can get crowded, especially during holidays and weekends. When the spot is busy, it’s important to respect the locals and follow surf etiquette. Nearby spots include Rivermouth, Echo, Pererenan, Old Man’s Canggu, and Batu Bolong Canggu.
