Medewi is a sleepy beach town about two hours’ drive from Canggu in the Jembrana region. In this area, most people come for one reason only: to go surfing. It has a rocky beach and is well-known for its long lefts, which can reach up to 5 feet (1.5 meters).
South and southwest swells produce the best waves, while southeast and northwest winds are often too strong to surf in. Best time to surf is between April and October. Be careful riding over the reefs and avoid stepping on the sea urchins. Don’t fret over where to lay your head at night; there are plenty of surf camps in close proximity to the beach, and many of them offer affordable surf trip packages.
