Yeah, I just replied to MMs similar info. There's about a dozen documents telling me what I should do

Looking good this morning, head high swell, glassy, only a couple out. Dead low, guess I'll go out now anyway.

It just gets better and better. Hit the water again at 2pm on my 7'6 this time, just one guy out. 10 wave set as I paddled out. Just got outside and rested for 10 minutes and the next set hit. Well overhead, 50m ride. Next set was bigger, got a great wave, airbourne half way down, thinking I'll see ...

Fcuk the surf turned on this morning. I went out at 8am, the tide was still really low. As I paddled out to my usual spot it didn't look so good, head high but sectioning and closing out. Further down though I saw the only other guy out catch a great wave so I paddled down. A massive dugong glided b...

I don't track the swell sources duck, that's what computers are for, I just look at the predictions. And I look at the breaks half a dozen times a day anyway. Swell and wind are usually a given most of the year, the wet season needs a bit more attention though, and during the dry too much swell is m...

Early morning looked good, small swell, glassy conditions, no-one out. As I paddled out the wind swung onshore, within 15 minutes it was crap. Paddled in. In the afternoon the swell, unforecast, picked up, regular overhead sets, some head and a half, rare doubles. Offshore and sunny, a dozen or so o...

Surfed for nearly 4 hours today, nice conditions, just a mate and I. There was a long time between sets, most only shoulder high, a few bigger. The offshore was too light to hold the faces up, so lots of short frustrating rides. We surfed it as the tide dropped from about 6' to 6".

I had to look that up. The Supermoon on November 14, 2016, was the closest since January 26, 1948. The next time a Full Moon will come even closer to Earth is on November 25, 2034 (dates based on UTC time). Super Full Moon also looks about 30% brighter than a Micro Full Moon and about 16% brighter t...

Offshores, sun and swell today, all day, and more to come. Very low tide this morning with a long period swell. Only a few out, as it's a long period swell there's long waits between sets.

There's three major take-off zones spread over 600m. It's doesn't really work until it's overhead (the bigger the better), the swell is from a particular direction, and the offshore is blowing. Lots of closeouts, it sections really, really fast, every move, and your line, has to be focused on gettin...

They seem to mainly cover the Canggu area with less frequent forays just about anywhere else in Bali.

At least a decent period swell from a good direction - 19s SSW - though small, is supposed to arrive late morning. For the week I've been here it's been 6-10s from 3 different directions and wind affected.

Swell energy goes from the last week's 150-250kJ to 400-900kJ for the next week.

Perhaps that post would better in First World Problems?

Fcuk it's the Indian Ocean dipole that causing this Indonesian swell anomaly and the droughts and fires in Oz.

I am getting skunked for sure black duck. From all reports and from watching endless vids, this wet season was the best of the decade. But it all went to pieces a few days before I arrived. To add to that I was riding new boards and my surfing skills seemed to have deserted me. Black depression was ...

Nusa Dual was just OK yesterday.

I road back in heavy rain, no problem, I was in boardies and a wetshirt anyway.

Today is actually offshore, but the swell is tiny. Last year it was well overhead or bigger a lot of the time.

You're not alone on that buddy.
