Hey crew well yesterday the 21st I did spend most of the day down at the beach, but not the way I wanted too that’s for sure. The surf wasn’t all time or anything but I did see some nice waves peeling off at Airports around midday in the chest to head high plus range. With only a handful of surfers in the water. I would have loved to have been throwing my anchor in the safety of the channel alongside the waves.
But instead my boat is up high and dry again completely pulled apart with a nasty crack in the hull. Hopefully I’ll be able to re glass the hull but it hurts having my old girl out of the water and just another problem to solve. I’ll be heading back down the beach after I get this loaded up and make the final call.
But just to take my mind off things Ray and I took a run up the coast to Canggu this morning. We knew it was going to be small but if it’s too small for the Gu then it’s just too small anywhere. That’s what I was thinking anyway. We pulled into the new temporary car park in front of Echo beach / Canggu around 8.45am. The tide was running in for a 2.15pm 1.9mtr High. We were hoping for a little tidal push with it. Wave height was only in the 1-2ft but as the tide pushed in we did see a few head high sets hit the Sand bar and River mouth right.
Surfing conditions were clean with a nice off shore wind that lasted through until 9.45am when the ESE Tradewind started to wind up. Crowd wise it was a good Sunday morning roll up with around 40 surfers on the river mouth and 20+ on the Sand bar beach breaks.
Looking down South towards “Old Mans” a solid crowd of mainly learner long boarder riders. I think it’s time “Old Man’s” was renamed to “young Euro learner long boarders” No old man would be silly enough to surf out there with that crowd. I didn’t even bother to try and count the number of learners in the water further down at Batu Bolong and Berawa. I would have needed an abacus.
Weather wise more clear and clean blue sky again here on the holiday island. Right now at 2.10pm the temperature is a warm 31C with the Humidity at 67%. Wind direction is fresh out of the ESE at 10-13knots.
Tomorrows Surf Forecast. Well, if everything holds true tomorrow should start off with some slightly bigger surf that today. Continuing to build throughout the afternoon. This new swell will have more SW direction so we can expect to see the better locations along the West Coast starting to light up. Tomorrow you can count on fresher E-ESE wind through the day.
Changing Money, Okay so you guys are going to be rolling into Bali soon and for anyone new to the money changing game I’m going to be giving you some tips over the next couple of reports. 1/ Don’t change your dollars at home before you come to Bali, you will get much more Rupiah for your buck here on the streets of Bali. 2/ Try to avoid changing money with “money changers” from Friday through Sunday. Usually come Friday afternoon the MC’s with lower their rates (right across the board) hoping that punters will be getting cashed up for the weekend. The MC’s do it mindlessly and even through the pandemic with no tourists here continued this practice. Convert your dollars Monday through Thursday to get the best rates.
