We have not been to bali in January before but are going this year. We are a family of surfers and my understanding is that Kuta waves are blown out during January. There may still be some smaller waves but along with the winds you get the dirty water as well. We are staying on the Sanur side of the island due to better surfing conditions.
Not sure if it would be an ideal time to be learning but others who have been at that time of year may have different feedback for you. There are quite a few surfing schools at Kuta.
