The seasonal west wind and rain continues to make its presence known on our side of the Bukit, leaving the entire west side of the island with blown-out conditions. Not an issue for us however, as our beginner group was off to Mushroom Rock again where they found head-high waves on the outside, smaller waves on the inside, and offshore conditions. The swell has eased slightly in size, dropping to 5 ft. at 13 seconds. Having surfed the break a few times, our surfers now have a better understanding of which waves are best, and they each found several great rides!

When learning to surf, there is no alternative to time spent in the water. Studying other surfers, practicing movements on land, and using visualization techniques are all helpful, but you must spend time in the water to make lasting improvements.
