The waves are famous for the long ride and the bottom is not shallow, they can be pretty big but they are not really dangerous. Go out from the left of the river, watch out for the shore break that can be ugly and ride the waves in the bay (pull out on time as the wind drop a little in the bay). This place must be considered for expert only as the condition are really challenging and if you go down the next stop is on the rocks at the end of the bay.

The beach is very wide so it's easy to launch and exercise in the sand.

The wind is sideoffshore but almost sideshore. It's pretty gusty specially near the beach break. It can happen, that if there is no wind on the east cost there is 14-18 knots of wind on this side. Some kind of venturi effect plus the land heating create more wind in this side. If the easterlies are strong the wind here is too offshore, go to Sanur or Nusa Dua instead. The wind is a bit cleaner then in Bolare as become more side shore, but still gusty on the beach.

This beach is on the west coast of Bali around 2 hours drive from Sanur.
