Canggu

Canggu is located on Bali's western coast facing the Indian Ocean, characterized by a gently sloping beach break with consistent sand bottom. The spot features moderate wave exposure with predominantly small to medium swells. The coastline orientation (facing west) means side-shore conditions occur with northerly or southerly winds. However, the area suffers from very low wind reliability at only 2.0%, making consistent sessions challenging. Average wind speeds of 4.9 knots are marginal for kitesurfing. The shallow water near shore and dense residential/commercial development immediately adjacent to the beach create congestion during peak times. Water temperatures average 27.1°C year-round. This spot suits beginners due to small waves and protected conditions, but progression is limited. The area experiences significant seasonal variation with monsoon patterns affecting wind direction and intensity. Local knowledge regarding tide cycles and seasonal wind patterns is valuable for maximizing riding opportunities.
