3ft this morning. Ketut's was smoking but too many arse clowns pushing each other too deep, lots of waves going to waste.
Peak was nice with some really nice rights and the inside left was trying without success.
Wind started to swing about 7.30 so the early is the go.
Water's pretty cool too maybe 20*. Coldest I've ever had it up here.
Bigger today but pretty raw, the odd decent one at Ketut's but pretty sketchy in the main.

Only a couple of foot today, rest of Bali must've been pancaked. Small but fun.
Smicko loving your surf reports but people like Lacey can only read photos 
Ok I like photos too.
Yeah I've been meaning to Mac, but that means taking a phone or camera with me for the early. Or doing a pic run before I paddle out at 5:30 which would be $hit pics anyway. Or relying on the photog team of Lise and the boys getting down the beach before the wind swings at 7:30 and that's never gonna happen.
Was easier getting surf pics last year when I was 50m from the beach but it's pretty damn comfy where we are this year.
Read it and weep.

haha all good mate I understand enjoy.
ive been looking at this post for a while now and my considered answer is
no, I haven't
Here's some from last year.
Again.....
Not quite as hollow this year but way longer and more makeable.
Been fun here the last few days. Not epic but fun. Looking like some big stuff coming in a few days though so the big board might get some wax.
Aloha fellow breezers!
Well....can't afford to rant but our first week at Balian was bamboozled and I'm sure someone knows the phuctard who owns the Istana Balian and if you do let him know that he Karma he deserves is coming his way as it does on the island of the gods. A completely ignorant fool who left a woman and to kids in the lurch and couldn't give two hoots. If you ever consider going up there avoid Istana Balian like the plague. In 30 years of hitting Bali this was the first time that we've had a completely horrific experience all due to this Pig of a Human who just happens to be an excuse for an Aussie.
Anyway...it saw us being looked after by I our good friends down in Town and have surfed small full Padma for the last few days. Arrived at Balanagan today to PANCAKE ville and a little spike in swell tomorrow before it hits the Bukit the day after and hopefully game on for a couple of days.
Sorry Smicko for missing you up,North, but if you end up down in the Bulit this week or Nusa Lembongan the week after let us know.
Stay well people

Yes Mate, double booking, and that happens sometimes, but it was just all the crap, lies and shenanigans that when with it. Complete scam artist that's full of excrement to the extreme. It's amazing that the Expats are the hardest to deal with LOL locals are awesome.
Another flat day here. Should be something come with the tide around lunch time. Swell kicks tomorrow.
Ahhh bugger sorry to hear it mate, I've been into Istana a few times in past years and not been very impressed with the joint. We're next door at Breezes, it's good.
Don't know if you'll get a wave anywhere today, it's pretty damn small, as small as I've seen it here. I went for a paddle at the beachie in the north end of the beach here today just to get wet but it was pretty much unsurfable.
As you said though, the next few days.....
K'maz is glassy waist to head right now, so Serengan should have the occasional head & a 1/2. Nusa Dua would probably be double...mid dawny tide to high at lunch next couple of days. I'd suggest a look at Sri Lanka or Secrets tomorrow & go to Serengan if one of those wasn't on. The bypass makes it pretty damn easy these days...
Double high's dawny & arvo next week, you might have some fun in Nusa Lembongan next week S69 if the crowds not too full on.
Just found a heaving A-frame beachie. Balian is about waist to chest and this was easy head plus. Bombies out the back break up the swell and then it just unloads on the inside bank.
I checked it the other day but the tide was too low.
Hoping that swell doesn't arrive until later tomoz, and I'll hit it at lunchtime.
Double bookings are very very common through the islands - most owners get sick of people booking and never showing up. Most have a back up plan when they get caught out. Shame you had a poor experience on that one.
Surf small here again. Should pick up a bit as the tide comes in but will not be that exciting. The new swell should be here soon though at long last.
Surfed small but fun Balangan yesterday arvo, swell picked up today but one of the grommets has an ear infection and can't even go into the pool so mountain biking today.....that's all good because tomorrow the games begin. I'm expecting it to be smoking and a bit over head high??? The morning will tell.
Smicko...will check out that place your in for next time. For now Balanagan for a few more days before Nusa Lembongan and should be swell the whole Time
!!!
No complaints here.
Apart for the arrogant muppet at the Istana Balian. 
Crapstar 369 return from Brisbane to Bali on sale which ends tomorrow or when sold out.
Sat under a tree for two hours yesterday watching and waiting for the beachie to turn on but there just wasn't enough water and too much swell.
Swell has arrived now, just a constant roar, sounds like a giant foundry. Time for a wander with the long lens and have a look if it's surfable, could be a Medewi day.
Pretty chunky here Smickonbut morning sickness. Weird winds. Tide heading out at 100 miles an hour. Might have to sit it out for now.
Ken huge here, hard to tell how big cos no one is out but it's big. I reckon it might be time to see if I can tune the missus for a couple of days up the east coast.
