Our beginner group headed back to Baby Padang this morning where they found beginner-friendly rolling waves breaking along the reef. The swell has dropped to 3.5 ft. at 10 seconds, and the the light-onshore breeze remained. The faces of the waves remained clean and our surfers got many fun rides. The rain was falling for most of the session, which helped to smooth the surface of the ocean.

We are currently seeing neap tides as the moon is in its last quarter phase the lunar cycle. With a neap tide, which occurs when the moon appears half-full, the high tides are lower, and the low tides are higher. This is good for surfing in Bali as many spots are best within a moderate tidal range. This means that more breaks will be within their optimal tidal range for more time during the day. Happy surfing!
