Our beginner surfers headed to Blackstone early this morning where they found challenging but fun conditions. The wind has been blowing strongly around the Bukit lately, after the two days of clean conditions we had previously. The swell has picked up in size coming in at a healthy 6.5 ft. at 14 seconds, coming from 207 degrees. The wind blew offshore, which held up the faces of the waves, keeping the lines smooth and organized. Our surfers challenged themselves in the strong offshore conditions, but everyone improved their skill set and had a good time.

Learning how to surf offshore conditions is very challenging as the wind pushes your surfboard up the face of the wave and you require just a little extra paddle strength to stroke into the waves. This skill set is important to learn as you will find paddling into waves in clean conditions easier.
