****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Howdy folks and time for another location change and the latest news on todays surfing and weather conditions here on everybody’s favorite surfing holiday destination of Bali. Today we were down at Bingin, and before anyone starts emailing saying how I’m giving away secret surfing locations in Bali, Bingin is no secret. Just for the record there arn’t any high quality wave generating surfing locations here in Bali that are secret locations. Trivia dept; there are over 34,500,000. websites dedicated to Bali. But I do gotta say that baliwaves.com was the first to have anything at all to do with surfing.
Ok so we arrived at Bingin around 8.30am with the tide just on the bottom of the Low to find one lone surfer just making his way out to the line-up. At first it looked like it was pretty much flat but after watching for 10 mins the boys couldn’t get down the steps quick enough. Wave height on the set waves were as ya’s can see in these photos I shot averaging around head high with the occassional bigger one every now and again. Not super clean conditions as the wind was coming lightly out of the West ranging between 0-4knot. But still pretty good for this time of the year.
It woulda been a whole lot better with clean off-shore wind, but with the crowd only peaking at 6 surfers, highly unusal for this spot, everyone was happy with what they got. Looking back up to Impossible’s and it was very ordinary and not big enough for the sections to hold up. No surfers on it with 2-3ft waves, mainly closing out.
Weather wise it we had a clear start to the day but around 10.30am some heavy rain fell, lasting a whole 15mins. Then it was humidity city down on the bukit.
That’s about all I got for you today, and tomorrow we’ll have to wait and see what the swell and wind has for us. Looks like some more swell in transit to Bali that should arrive around Thursday.
