Travel through Sanur and turn off onto the new by pass road (called Ketewel By Pass) on the far side of Sanur. Padang Galak is the first place you come to after turning onto the By Pass road. Park your car at the edge of the road and walk through the rice padi field. There are a couple of warungs where you can leave your belongings. There are plenty of peaks along the break.
The beach has black sand beach and the break works best in the wet season when Kuta etc. are onshore. The black sand can get really hot to walk on. Popular with Japanese surfers so sometimes can get a little crowded. Padang Galak is a beach break with standard right and left waves that will suit all levels of surfers. The break generally suits all tides and works best on a South West or Southerly swell of 3ft - 8ft with winds from the North West or West.
Travel through Sanur and turn onto the new by pass road that is known as the Ketewel By Pass and keep traveling north along this road through Ketewel, Pabean and Saba until you reach Keramas. When you reach Keramas (approx 15-20 mins depending on traffic) you will see a small blue sign on the right hand side of the road with Keramas painted in yellow and this takes you down a dirt track. Keep your eyes open as it can be hard to find.
Keramas is a traditional beach break with rights and left world class waves that are powerful and fast but fun. This break is more suited to experienced surfers. Tides are best at mid and high tide with a swell from 3-5 ft up to 8ft and the wind is best from the West on a North West or Easterly swell. If Keramas isn't working there are three other beaches are within walking distance and the breaks on these may be working so worth checking out. Generally not crowded, friendly and relaxing with great waves.
