Bali surfing: Sept 4th 2007

The surfing season in Bali continues with its highs and lows. Right now the swell is average, slackening off over the next few days and looking good for Sunday & Monday. MagicSeaweed is a pretty good site for the raw data, with easy to read charts.

As BaliWaves informs us, the best places to surf today would of been Uluwatu and Padang Padang, with a 5-8ft wave height in Legian bay. Today Uluwatu was getting an 11 mph wind and the beach breaks of Kuta / Legian / Seminyak were even more windy. At Kuta Halfway, the beach itself is halfway onto the road, the sidewalk covered in about 6 inches of sand.

People hoping to learn to surf in Bali should take surfing lessons from a reputable surf school, such as Bali Learn To Surf, at Hard Rock Hotel, Rip Curl at Blue Ocean beach, or Palu on Poppies Lane II.
