0.0 meter tide at sunrise and with the decrease in swell, I could only see 1 foot of the 2 feet faces. With small swell and low low-tides, there is definitely a reason for hope. When there’s size on a 0.0, noticing how long surfers can disappear from view on their below-sea-level bottom turn is a good indicator of how quick you can get pushed up onto the reef.
By the reach of a 1.0 meter tide, both the offshores and surf started to rise up. So I planned my surf to ride off the crowning 2.0 meter high and into Happy Hour! It was few and far in between sets, but same for the number of people out in the surf.
G-Land was about 3 to 5 feet on the face and if you were the chosen one, that rare overhead wave came straight to your smiling face. Clean and (more…)

Some degree of physiological change happened to me today. We’ve been witness to the cliche of “good things come in 3,” and good things meaning quality G-Land Surf…. 3 referring to our 3rd straight day of it! But even with such conditions, all I did was sleep. Maybe I overdosed from the past 2 days, or some little critter bit me. The billiard comp from last night didn’t go that late, but that probably helped. Still, I’m not sure why I was half-dead???
Early morning conditions looked great, but I wanted to time a session with fewer people. Fewer… like surfing alone or (more…)

only 1 surfer still surfing, but not on this one -- photo: tubeman
SURF PICKED UP, OFFSHORES BLEW, and the CROWD…NONE!
rogue faced 10-footers well groomed, polished, and clean
focused deep on Moneys pocket until the ride was done
with lip-line plumes cooling down scorching backs
and all two-legged snakes left home on the land
G-LAND WAS a DAY of PURE EPIC FUN!!!
full-moon party tonight…

Relaxing is what today was all about. Most of today’s new guests went for a surf at some point in the day, but plenty of guests just lounged today at Bobby’s G-Land Surf Camp. Hanging in the hammock, reading a book, taking a nap, watching a movie, going for a walk, stretching…whatever felt right.
Early morning G-Land Surf conditions at 6:30 were pretty poor considering 0.4 meter low tide and weak swell. Max set size was 4 foot on the face (chest high) and heavily sectioned. By 11:00, I saw a few sets starting to run down the reef at lower Kongs and a few through Moneys. But it was more a hopeful indicator that the alleged swell was starting to fill in and not an enticer to go for a surf. The surf never really came up today at G-Land and that 11:00 pulse was probably the best of the day. People were of course still surfing throughout the day…
Last night was a Pool Comp night. The staff love really it! They’re the first to put in the buy-in. It was probably the best display of buleh playing and worst from the indos that I’ve ever seen. But in the end, Balinese Dewa claimed the pot on the same day that his deceased ancestors left Earth after a 10-day visit…the day of Kuningan. Read about it if your not already Hindu (and interested), it may make you massage your chin.
