Well I've had 2 weeks in Bali with a couple of days still to go.diggerdickson wrote:Looking forward to the reports
Happy with my decision to come here, but it's all about knowing the spots and options here.
First week was classic wet season westerly winds, so based myself on the east coast and made the most of a solid swell. A Pom staying at the same place showed me around to a couple of spots new to me. Missed a couple of days due to a virus which wiped me out but otherwise scored great waves. Early bird gets the worm, but crowds weren't an issue for the 2nd surf most days.
The weather then decided to be unseasonable and revert to dry season SE winds which I noticed on the forecast for the week ahead so shifted my arse to the west coast of the Bukit which worked out perfectly. Have scored good waves daily, never less than 3-4 foot and most of the time it's been glass or close to it so it's just been a matter of finding the spot that works best for the swell size. Have managed that without having to surf Ulus which is really the only place that's crowded.
Have not seen a drop of rain since arriving, even at night, some rainy season
Four foot of swell tomorrow then a jump up for my last day, couldn't ask for more.
