BALI / INDONESIA
8th – 9th November 2018
Hello surfers and thanks again for stopping by the baliwaves (your eye’s in Bali for all things surf, since back in 1999) for our latest news and best possible views. From right here on the No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination and gateway to Indonesia’s surfing paradise, Bali.
Ok so here’s a hand full of photos from where were yesterday the 8th , down on the Southern end of the island at one of our fav locations of Balangan. Wave height wasn’t showing much on the charts but we knew we’d still get a few little fun ones at Balangan. The best thing on our side was the early morning low tide. The learners and surf schools tend to wait until the tide starts to fill in, usually anyway..
As it shows wave height was only in the waist to head high and surfing conditions were clean and tidy with some early morning late season off shore ESE wind. A lot of people don’t like Balangan’s shallow bottom and fast sections. But on the right part of the tide and if you know where to sit and which waves to pick off you can score 200 mtr plus rides.
Weather wise yesterday it was overcast and rainy most of the day but the water was warm and the wind was off shore. Still great in the water in just boardies.
Today the 9th and with a little bump in wave height predicted we made our way back down there again. Pulling up on the hill for a sit in the car surf check to find 2-4 footers peeling off in clean and glassy conditions. There were already 6 surfers in the water though at 7.00AM.
Balangan was our secondary option this morning, our primary target was Canggu. But pulling in there at 5.45AM to find chocolate colored waves and lots of water moving around with mostly close outs, you could smell the fresh river water mixing with the ocean and it didn’t smell good.
Weather wise today it’s been 100% hot and sunny. The wind was a bit variable this morning and not dedicating to the SE until around midday.
Mosquito Alert, According to the latest news I saw in the Perth headlines there is a nasty mozzie borne virus going around Bali at the moment. Apparently it’s been in Bali for a long time. I have heard of people getting sick from it in Sumbawa and Sumatra but not in my 24 years in Bali have I heard of anyone getting it here. But always take precautions I say and use a good repellent at night time. The worst places for mozzie bites are sitting in restaurants or cafes as the little bastards hide out under the tables and will bite you from the knee down. Another thing to remember is that the color black does attract them, fact ! Myth, air conditioned rooms deter mosquitoes ! I’ll tell you now, mosquitoes are not prejudice when it comes to 5 star hotels or home stays, fact ! In fact the more lush greenery and gardens the more chance that mozzies will be buzzing in your ears at night. Take care and be aware please.
