Month: October 2021

Our 2 guests from Jakarta had a great surfing experience at Padang Padang this morning. It was their first ever time surfing and they both got up on the board. Only 1 other person in the water at start of the session, but we were joined by a few more later in the morning. Swell size has dropped since yesterday and was good size for beginner and intermediate surfers. Hot, sunny with light winds.

Another solid swell arrived this morning. October has been epic, and we went again to our favourite surf spot. Very light winds, and perfect size for Bingin, but there was a bit of chop from the current running down from impossibles. Not many barrels today, but every wave at Bingin feels fantastic as so much power in the wave. A few more people in the line up today as it is a Sunday, but the groms stayed mostly on the inside catching the smaller waves.

Another perfect uncrowded session at Bali’s most fun wave. There were only between 6 and 8 people out the whole session and lots of waves for everyone. The forecast was for a weak 13 second period swell, but waves were well overhead and some barrels to be had. Today was not a day for 5’8″boards but towards the end of the session, local top gun Mega Semadhi paddled out and showed us how to take the sets on a very small board.

Bigger and better today! Perfect conditions this morning, on all sections of the huge reef we know as uluwatu.

Barrels, turns, aerials, long rides. Everything possible when the waves are this good. Very hot and lots of sunshine.

Smaller today and a little bit wind affected, but the sets were well overhead, and not too many people in the line up. Very good wave quality and some great rides to be had. We are coming to the end of the dry season and it has been an excellent season of quality uncrowded waves. Bali is now opening up, and we expect that by Christmas, there will be many more people here to share the waves with.

Solid powerful swell here today at Bali’s premier surf spot. World class surfing condition with light winds and overhead waves. The peak and racetrack were firing, and was an epic session.

Smaller today, and the wind was again from a southerly direction which is side shore. Racetrack has some protection from this wind direction and the wave quality was still good. A new 17 second long range swell is forecast for tomorrow.

Onshore today at Uluwatu, which is surprising to see, after 6 months offshore every day. Uluwatu is still good on onshore wind, and today the wave quality was very good. Consistent head high waves, light crowds and some very long rides on the racetrack. Great conditions for practising turns, or just racing down the line.
