Beginner Surf Lessons at Padang Padang

Our surfers were up bright and early this morning for their sessions. The beginners set off to Baby Padang while the intermediates surfed at Geger Left. The west wind is still blowing; however, the period has increased in the swell, which makes for better surfing conditions than yesterday. The swell is reading 4.5 ft. At 15 seconds on the forecast, which brought in shoulder to head-high set waves at Baby Padang. The west wind chopped up the sea state; however, the faces of the waves remained clean enough for fun beginner surfing.

Tomorrow is looking like a great day of surfing for the Uluwatu area. The wind is predicted to be lighter and from the northeast, which is a more favorable direction for our side of the island. The swell is predicted to increase in size slightly. Let’s hope the conditions arrive as forecasted. See you out there!

Beginner Surf Lessons at Black Stone

Our beginner group headed to Black Stone today. The swell has dropped to a wind swell, coming in at 4.5 ft. at 7 seconds. The waves were shoulder high on the sets, and the wind blew offshore from the west. The shorter-period wind swell waves presented a challenge to the surfers as wind swell waves come in with less energy and steeper faces. This means that you must be closer to the where the energy is most focused on the wave, and you have less time to pop-up with the steeper wave face. Our surfers made the most of the conditions and tested their pop-up technique.

A new swell is forecast to come Thursday and Friday, which should provide great surfing for the Nusa Dua area. On Saturday, the west wind is predicted to pick up in strength; however, it will be offshore at Blackstone and Geger.
