Nikon Camera Found on Plane
I received a telephone call from Emirates Jakarta Office today and they have my Nikon camera that I left on the plane,.. This is great news except they want me to collect it, I suggested a delivery however I do not think they trust Indonesian postal services. This is not possible as I am in Bali now, so I have emailed them an address and we will see what happens. I am very pleased about this as I have a few precious pictures of my time in Brighton and some video clips of Dubai airport and the plane journey etc.
Matt Bain; I met up with an old skater and work colleague of mine going back 20 years today. He is using up some paid holiday from his employers Fenchurch Clothing Uk and booked a last minute flight to Bali. He is staying Canngung Bali.He came to visit Kuta beach today, Matt Bain is a Harrow Vert skating Legend, was great to see him again and was hoping for a surf together, however I could not get him in the water for a surf today though so we will be meeting up again for a surf asap..always great to see Matt…
Swell report for next few days
Not looking so great waves are pretty small for a while now, below is the swell report for Nusa Dua for the next week. this is from a great website called www.magicseaweed.com I have a photography page on the site if you are interested to see some photos from Cornwall this summer. www.magicseaweed.com Jason Lunn photos I also aim to upload any photos I manage to take whilst in Indonesia too
As you can see small swell but very warm water and offshore wind
Report for Nusa Dua Above
Blue zones on map mean small swell but Nusa Dua is on east Coast and the wind is blowing east so what ever waves there are will be offshore clean and glassy, this will still be fun to play on. Its looking like sunshine for a while too..
However in contrast take a look at the swell report for Achill Island in Ireland. Ireland has recently been claiming Hawaii sized waves of epic and regular proportions. Take a look at the swell report for Ireland now
As you can see the swell is pumping but the wind is coming from the west to blowing east so the waves will be Huge Onshore and in super cold water which is as dangerous as it can get really. The Irish surfers are super hero tough guys, if you would like to see take a look at this photo from earlier this year posted on magicseaweed.com
Very large waves!
Ireland waves PUMPING! check this out!
Yellow and Orange means very low pressure at sea and large swell
But it looks like Portugal France and Spain are the place for some large waves right now, I am happy however with small waves in warm water.
So I spent today with Anna and Villa from Holland we surfed most of the day at Nusa Dua and had a fun time, they left however and I decided to surf another two hours as the waves picked up a bit towards hightide at sunset. Came back a darker shade of brown and ate Indonesian local cuisine total cost meal and juice £1.50
Another great day in Bali!
