Our surfers headed to the Nusa Dua area this morning as the wind is still blowing from the west throughout the island. There is enough swell in the water for our beginner surfers to ride the inside waves at Mushroom Rock while the intermediates were off to Sri Lanka. At Mushroom Rock, the beginner surfers enjoyed waist to head-high waves breaking on the inside of the surf break. The swell came in at 3.5 ft. at 16 seconds from 200 degrees, and the wind blew offshore. The beginners focused on getting to their feet with balance and control of the surfboard, and conserving energy when larger waves came through.
Mushroom rock is a fun wet season wave for beginner surfers when there is too much swell for Black Stone. The inside provides a safe venue for developing surfers to begin their surfing journeys.
