Went out before first light at Batu Bolong. It was a bit fat at low tide and the swell was a little more than the place can handle as the clean up sets were close outs. Surfing my 9'1" short board at this place for the last 5 days makes me so glad I took up surfing a few years ago. The waves can be complete **** for the next week in Kuta and it will have been worth lugging the boards over. Will definitely be back!
I am going back to the beach to surf 2ft clean beachies. Should have gone out earlier but I looked at it, the sun was still hiding, mist coming off the waves as they hit the shoreline and the world cup semi was on. So I came home to watch the final 20 mins. Back out there now
northerlies in winter- wtf
Blowing a gale up.here.....was watching a whale play just past the shoreline for.a.while. That was pretty cool very small.as.well.
More big north for the next few.days. Shame about the swell.as.you can see it going by the horizon

Yeah a mate was saying the other day that we seem to getting a fair few north winds for winter.
Hadn't really thought about it till he said it but seems so.

I love winds from the North - we have two beachies that are offshore in the N and absolutely love it. Especially with the almost constant SE swell we have had recently. No complaints here what so ever

your not an all black and i'm not a wallaby- so stop rubbing my nose in it
Looks like some big chunks will be coming through this morning. Time to wax up the big board by the look of it. Its game on this morning.
Disappointing morning here. Loads of swell and great winds - but a very high tide and some of the spots that you hope should be working are not getting the swell into them. The beachies are too big unless you like to cop a good hiding every now and again. I think it will be great in a few hours as the tide heads out and a few of the spots I love start to work. Sadly I have a meeting in the City at 11am so thats it for me today This is the type of swell where you wish you had a nice long right hand point break in front of your house !
Awesome local surf....first surf since business travel last week 4-6ft solid with 15-20knt offshore wind....STOKED....
(Couple of bigger sets that were seeing group paddle like mad men for the horizon)
Surf is pumping on the northern end
Was not a great idea going out sick. Beatings are bad enough....but manflu beatings started to worry me... A lot still the ones I scored were very noice. Lacey your new board would have gone mental up here today
Today, after surfing Bells, I went to the Supermarket for some milk... At my car, a middle aged lady approached me, softly spoken, and asked for my help. She needed some money for petrol, so she could go to a refuge in Geelong, and she had left her abusive partner with her dogs, and the clothes on he back... Bruises around both eyes, and side of forehead... I gave her $12, and she was very thankful. You could tell in your gut, that she was in "crisis mode"...
Nice work Simondo. Surf seems to be cranking everywhere today. A good mate sent me a few pics whilst I am at work unable to escape - prick

There is always tomorrow my friend - can not wait - will be early to bed this evening for a very early start and potential coastal run to a long right hand point break
Yes I understand LL - hope you find some good ones tom with little crowd factor. Maybe take a run down the coast to another right hander.
Here are a few take by Uge at aquabumps of Scotty's local. It was pumping everywhere today.

Onya Pup....got some afternoon lumps here..had to wait in between sets and little onshore so bumpy faces, but Im wet and happy
No.fun surfing when your sick was feeling better and took a boat ride to some.really fun waves. Much smaller than yesterday,but had some real oomph to them. Ended it early and will wait till I'm better now....maybe
Go hard pupwana,did ya surf with the usual suspects?
Left home at 4:15am spent 6 plus hours in the water, did over 450kms and just got in the door. Great day out. Even ran into a seabreezer in the water. Wicked day of waves. If I had to complain it was just that I could not do this yesterday when it was a bit bigger. Hope you all got your fill. I am knackered and ready for bed Saw a young goofy foot girl get a very very long ride on her backhand today - she looked in shock as she did 5 nice top turns down the line. When she finally falls off she is just screaming with delight - and as it happens her dad was on the wave behind and when he flicked off he was just as stoked for her. She smiled all the way back out whilst screeching at "how sick that wave was." She got a couple of other good ones as well. I saw them in the carpark later on and she was the most stoked surfer I had come across in a very long time. It was great to see. Absolutely frothing.
