# Tanah Lot

Kitesurfing spot in Uluwatu / Padang Padang, Indonesia.

> Tanah Lot's iconic temple rock and offshore reef breaks draw intermediate to advanced riders seeking proper wave action. The dramatic rocky coastline creates wind compression and variable water conditions depending on swell direction. Rocky launch points require careful footwork and awareness; sandy beaches nearby offer alternatives. The spot works best during swell season when offshore wind aligns with incoming wave sets. Experience managing reefs and strong currents is essential.
