Month: August 2021

When we arrived at bingin the tide was still quite high, and quite busy with around 15 people in the water. Very good conditions for intermediate surfers – head high playful waves. As the tide dropped, the waves started barrelling and the intermediate surfers vacated the line up. Perfect size for bingin and only around 8-10 people when the waves were at their best. Very good friendly vibe in the water, and everyone happy to take their turn and share the waves.

Perfect clean conditions this morning, but the tide was a bit low, and unfortunately the wind picked up at around the time the tide got good. The wind was cross offshore and there was a bit of a bump on the wave, but still very good conditions and some long overhead rides to be had. When the tide was perfect, it was a little bit more crowded that it has been recently, as hardly anyone surfed in morning due to the tide being too low. Swell is forecast to be a bit bigger tomorrow with better tides.

We went to Dreamland at dawn this morning hoping to surf the A frame, but the swell had dropped significantly and was not big enough. Impossibles was breaking consistently but only head high and sectioning. A few head high waves coming through at Bingin but a few guys out and not worth it. We decided to wait for the incoming tide and get some real waves at Uluwatu, which is never ever flat. Quite a lot of water moving, which is typical for the day after a big swell but clean offshore wind and not many out. A few barrels to be had on the peak, and the odd 300 metre ride on the racetrack.

We went to bingin this morning and was very surprised to see good waves, but no one in the water. Quite a few out at Impossibles which looked good, but empty line up at bingin was unmissable. The sets were double overhead and about the maximum size bingin could hold. It was a bit tricky, as a lot of water moving down from impossibles made a strong current, but just 2 of us in the water for the first hour was a fair deal. Later in the morning a few more paddled out to enjoy some quality waves. Sunny and quite strong offshore wind, which is typical for August.

Huge swell today and quite stormy conditions, which is unusual for this time of year. August is normally endless sunshine but there were some heavy showers. The photos look like Padang Padang, but actually were shot at last section of impossibles, which was firing some square barrels today. Only 5 guys brave enough to take on impossibles today. We took a look at Uluwatu and just 1 guy out as massive and a bit lumpy.

Uluwatu today the condition of the waves is smaller than yesterday, a little wind and drizzling rain. Not many people in the watter, conditions are great and the waves are still fun.

Bingin today the condition of the waves is still the same as yesterday, very clean and not many surfers in the watter. Not very powerful waves today, which is great conditions for advanced surfer to improve their surfing technique.

Perfect size at Uluwatu this morning for advanced surfers, the waves are starting to be bigger than yesterday and the currents are a bit stronger, good wave from the pick until rice track and very Clean, a little side wind and not many surfer at the beginning, some excellent barrel good weather and nice condition.
