not to body surf in the afternoon/evening when the tide is low, the wind blowing onto the beach and the waves are big. This is a recipe for disaster as the rips are treacherous no matter where you are on the strip of beach between Kuta and Seminyak/Pettinget and I have unfortunately seen a number of times and heard of even more examples of people who haven't survived.
If the beach flags are crossed, don't go in.
