TL;DR
Nusa Dua's main beach is calm and beginner-friendly — surf schools operate right on the beach near the hotels (from 350,000–400,000 IDR for a 2-hour lesson with instructor and board). For better waves, head to Peanut Bay/Geger (15-20 min away) or Kuta (30-40 min), which has more schools and instructors.
On Nusa Dua beach near the Grand Hyatt/Nikko hotels, private instructors work right on the shore — you can book on the spot, lessons with board included typically run from 350,000–400,000 IDR for 2 hours.
For better waves, many head to Peanut Bay or Geger Beach — about 15-20 minutes from Nusa Dua, suitable for both beginners and those with some experience.
If instructors in Nusa Dua itself are scarce or booked, it's worth driving to Kuta/Legian (30-40 minutes) — more surf schools there and lower prices, around 250,000 IDR per lesson.
Some schools offer packages of 3-5 lessons with pickup from Nusa Dua hotels, package prices are usually 1-1.5 million IDR.
