Bali What to Do
There’s no limit to the things you can do during your visit. We’ve come up with a few ideas though to get you off to a flying start.
Swell forecast for Nusa Dua Bali
Wet season conditions here in Bali, and after strong storms, the eastern coastline is where you’ll find most surfers. Nusa Dua right now is getting offshore winds, whcih are rather too strong. Today’s swell height was predicted at 8ft, with a 20mph wind.

Day after Christmas in Bali
Christmas Day passed without incident here in Bali. I spent the day at an internet cafe, while family and friends did their thing. My neighborhood is quiet, many expats from Europe probably staying at home with family.

Green Bali Bali
To get to Green Ball, you head up the hill onto the Bukit, from Bypass Ngurah Rai (heading to Nusa Dua), then at the 4 way intersection (Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Balangan), turn left towards Nusa Dua. You will see a sign for the Bali Cliff Resort, and the surf beach at Green Ball.

Climbing Gunung Abang in the highlands of Bali
Gunung Abang is located across Lake Batur from Gunung Batur in the highlands of Bali. At 2153m it is over 400m higher, but way less visited. Gunung Abang is known as Red Mountain and the climb is very different. While is rather barren and affords sweeping views of the surrounding landscape, Gunung Abang is forested like Gunung Catur. Some people may find this more enjoyable as climbing during daylight hours you will get shade from the searing sunlight.

Guide to Padma area in Legian Bali
Last year I wrote about the beach / surfing break at Jl. Padma, in Legian. For beginning / intermediate surfers, who are tired of Kuta Beach / Halfway etc., but like the idea of being downtown, Padma is a good option.

Snorkeling in Candi Dasa in East Bali
My friend Toby told me he was hoping to do some snorkeling while in East Bali. Thinking about our options, Padangbai, Candi Dasa and Amed would all work. I’d never go snorkleing in Bali without a boat, after reading too many stories of lone Europeans gone for good, not able to get to shore after renting a snorkel from a local.

Swell coming Monday in Bali
People come to Bali from all over the world, just for the waves. This year we have dry season-like conditions in December! That means the western Bukit breaks, are getting offshore winds as well as less garbage in the water right now.

Renting a surf board in Kuta Bali
Morning Toby’s friend Oliie wanted to rent a surfboard, for the duration of his 2 weeks in Bali. Repeating wahtt I had heard before, I told him not to rent from the guys on the beach. All those boards are snapped, and will snap again at some point, in the same place. When that happens, the oowner will demand $300. My friend Palu from Byron Bay, has 3 shops selling boards, as well as a surf school. He also has a selection of used boards for rent of sale.

Watersports in Lovina Bali
Located on the north coast on Bali, Lovina enjoys warner water than the south coast and way less waves. Perfect for some leisurely watersports.

Baliwaves: Helping Balinese orphans
BaliWaves is a surf website that has been around since 1999. They have started doing their bit to help Balinese orphans, so I thought I’d give them a plug.
