The event is a seasonal religious festival intended to send a message to the Hindu Gods to create abundant crops and harvests.
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. The white sandy beach, is a popular place for surfing, includes the warung and accommodations. In the morning, you can see the beauty of the sunrise, also the Mount Agung can be seen from this beach. And in the middle of the year, The Bali Kite Festival is always held at this beach.
