By late, are you saying late in the day for the glass off or late in the wet season?

What's it generally like first thing in the morning during the dry season? Is it sort of hungover and slightly onshore, or is it glassy?

Off topic but does anyone know a good place to stay in Jakarta where other surfers hang?

And what about cheap boat trips to Panaitan? Is it best to scope it out in Jakarta or somewhere else?

Came back through Jakarta last year and had to stay 24 hours, that was long enough, the place is not what you would call surfer friendly as there isnt any surf.

Dunno about the boats.

Search "guard"s posts on the realsurf forums. He's spent a lot of time in Indo and has posted about Panaitan trips before. He's got a contact or something.

totally over bali, more crowded than gold coast at christmas, forty guys out keramas, hundred guys out serangan, uluwatu has aircon surf shops where there was once warungs, bingin forget it.... and kuta is a complete dirty joke, so many other places in indo to go.

(unless you go on a sup, then there's crowdless waves a plenty)

Yea I know, but did the Ments last year and was fun but mega bucks. Bali is cool and Ive never checked out the other side. Plus Ive got Indo mates up there that I like to visit ect. Also wanna check out Nusa Lombogin<<spelling

^^Yea its changed a bit, but the airport is still the same

hEY DOGGIE, I'M GOING BALI AGAIN THIS YEAR WITH THE FAMILY, STAYING SEMINYAK IN AUGUST. tHERE ARE HEAPS OF GOOD WAVES ON EAST COAST AND GOING EARLY NORMALLY MEANS GLASSY CONDITIONS BEFORE THE TRADES COME UP BUT YOU WILL NOT BE THE ONLY ONE, HEAPS OF CREW ONTO IT, TRAVEL TIME IN TRAFFIC IS A JOKE.

i`D CALL AUGUST FAIRLY LATE

How about October?

was there nov/dec, most days zero wind till lunch. some days zero wind all day.

couple breaks just a bit further up the road (and a couple not so far) from spec-k (jeez that place half a doz years ago - oh the memories), worth a look.

one has very similar set up, one is more fickle to tide and water coming out stream.

not hard to find if you look. both cop the same swell.

but for me bali is now a mere transit stop. (we are all lucky the locals don't pack guns, alot of those guys have friggen lost it)

^^^ you know mac's right dog, Chinnigans is a left over the other side of the island that cops all swell. Its actually a pretty good wave - just watch out for the chicken wire fence , you'll know what I mean . I also can recommend Dream beach and Sunset beach , just off the "devils tear drop" . Its like a little skate park in there , also quite a sweeeet little spot for a sundowner.
