Intermediate surf guiding at Balangan
★★★★★
Surprisingly the swell turned out to be smaller than expected. This is not a bad thing because we got to surf Balangan again today where everyone was catching great waves. Due to the full moon, we decided to do an early bird session before the tide got too high.
On high tides like this and smaller swells, some of the spots can go almost flat for a while. Knowing when the tide is high or low is very important as this affects the wave’s quality and surfing experience. Luckily with our local knowledge of the surf spots, we are always at the right spot at the right time!
