5-star surfing conditions all across Bali this morning! Days like today are why people make the journey to come to this magical island. The swell filled in enough overnight for the advanced surfers to test their barrel riding skills at Padang, while across the channel at Baby Padang, the beginner surfers enjoyed the mellow, rolling peaks.

The forecast shows the swell coming in at a pumping 6 ft. at 15 seconds from 218 degrees. The wind blew lightly offshore, with just enough strength to hold the waves open for longer without making them difficult to paddle into. The waves were head-high on the outside of the surf break, while the reform waves on the inside were around waist-high. The beginner surfers enjoyed long, easy rides, which allowed them to focus on the fundaments of surfing, as taught by their instructors.
