Pantai Mertasari

Pantai Mertasari is a beach break located on Bali's southeastern coast, characterized by a protected lagoon system with white sand beaches and dense forest backing. The spot features a shallow water approach with sandbars and narrow channels separating deeper water from the protected lagoon. The coastline runs northwest-southeast, with the water body opening toward the southwest. Side-shore winds from the northeast (45°) would provide ideal conditions, though prevailing data suggests very light wind (4.8 knots average) and minimal reliability make consistent sessions challenging. Wave heights average 1.24m, indicating small, manageable conditions suitable for beginners and intermediate kiters looking to practice in protected waters. The narrow lagoon entrance and shallow sandbars require careful navigation and local knowledge of tidal patterns. This spot suits progression-level riders seeking calmer conditions and sandy bottom protection, though low wind reliability necessitates flexibility with timing. Best sessions likely occur during seasonal wind shifts rather than consistent year-round conditions.
