BALI SURF & WEATHER REPORT
29th Feb – 1st Mar 2020
Hello surfers (KEEP READING BELOW) and lovers of Bali and thanks again for stopping by the baliwaves (Bringing you all the good things from Bali since back in 1999) for our latest news and best possible views on surfing and weather conditions here on the island of the Gods, and the No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination and gateway to Indonesia’s surfing paradise, Bali.
Yesterday the 29th with bugger all swell we were up early on a wave hunt that lead us way up the coast. I had no intention of shooting any photos, except for the few I took with my phone just before I paddled out. We were lucky, we did manage to get some head high surf with a clean glassy conditions that lasted out our full session. I would also have to say that it was probably the lowest number of surfers I’ve seen at that place in the last 20+yrs of surfing there. Yeah we were lucky, good fun little waves and pretty smooth flowing traffic both ways. Back home it was prayer (Balinese Hindu) time for my family with yesterday concluding our Galungan period with Kuningan.
Today the 1st of March and one month closer to a new “Dry Season” right. I kept it pretty simple and took a run up to Canggu around 7.20am. As it shows in the majority of photos it was a grommet paradise up there today. Early while the tide was starting to run back in wave height was in the 2 foot class with clean and light off shore wind. As the tide did fill in more a few 3 footers or head high set waves did start to show, but by then the wind had started to swing SW and it quickly got stronger.
Another thing I couldn’t help but notice was that even at Canggu today there wasn’t as many of the “usual zombies” and the traffic was flowing and not grid locked as usual. Don’t get me wrong there was still plenty of “surfers” just not your usual crazy crowd. Maybe they hadn’t all woke up yet, maybe.
Weather wise it was a murderously hot morning standing on the beach holding a camera while others surfed. But around 1.30pm the sky blacked out and the rain and thunder / lightning kicked in. It’s still raining now at 5.00pm but it has cooled down the temp nicely to around the 26-27 Celsius mark.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Bali, –1US$=14,000 –1AU$=Rp9,050
So if your coming over to Bali don’t go changing too much cash at home or in the airport, wait till you get here and do it at the better known Authorized dealers and you will make more money to splash around.
Tomorrows Surf Forecast is calling for smaller than today type waves with stronger than today wind out of the WSW. Your only hope to get a wave in is going to be early, maybe.
