Swell has hit Bali it was 6ft at a semi secret spot i go to tune up ,its semisecret because its mostly on the fat side ,theres a similarity there
Meanwhile on the reefs was a different story ,Ulu Watu must have been around 8ft +at secrets where Paul destroyed his flashpoint
Over on the peak he reports were 2 kneelos snaring some nice sets ,that makes at least 5 kneelos on the island having run into a guy named Peter from WA earlier in the day carrying a Cordingly kb
Looks like the swell is here for at least 5 more days

I expect Tomway and Doc Turbo scored at their chosen secluded island locations

Hey BUMPS back in OZ mid June will try and catch up

went out on our 22' sportfisher out of mission bay... went south and fished ON the kelp in 80 feet of water in front of the big satelite dish

threw out a handful of chummed chovys and it was on! Boils all over...

every cast was a hit...

Wide open on the surface calicos but we caught rockfish,sculpin, cuda, halibut, and monster smelt and macks....

had a couple big yellowtail stalk my 9" swimbait but never hit it..

we lost a few big fish to the kelp...so maybe..

sooo fun , cant wait to get back out there!

...If i ever do catch a bluefin, il probably eat a handful of sashimi and sell the rest of the fish! It would easily pay for another trip

Jakarta kneelos are back on the feral boat for 4 days and I'm stoked to be given the go ahead for a blitz on the local slabs... good days ahead for everyone in Indon

Be careful out there lads, hope you've got your wetsuits and helmets and enough beer, betadine and voltaren to see you through safely! Semoga pulang sehat, aman dan stoked banget!

Hi Tom, the brief photos show a sample of what we had... Swell continues this week, but I am working some... finally

Kauai, yes?

Got out mid-morning South-mid-beach. Syd stopped on his way back and we caught up a bit. He's in fightin' shape! Getting ready for Indo...

Syd, I went out at that section. The four or so others disbanded after about 20 minutes. Surfed a little under two hours by myself (Sat AM!)

The water is toasty. The South was still coming through in about every 10 minutes, with predictable 3-wave sets. About chest/shoulder, and with the angle were clean despite a bit of wind texture.

The wind was coming up as I left.

Other sections of the beach were crowded.

Beautiful day out today. Ended it all with tacos and a Bohemia.

Maybe tomorrow super-early...

Sounds like the swell is good for at least another day,with a possible southern hemi by next wed/thurs.
Go away for a month of good surf[kauai]Come back to a set of decent swells... :lol: Life is good!

Johnnys and I got some good ones this morning down this
way. Low tide, offshore and some nice ends early AM.

Seemed to get fatter and slower as the tide came up. It
blew out hard this afternoon. Hopefully there will be enough
swell left tomorrow for inside the bay but I'm thinking its
going to require some driving to get it good.
