Check out this new report. If this is any indication of what we can expect, its going to be ridiculous! This pic shows what will be happening to Ford if he doesn’t committ 100% on his drops!
Extended Forecast Outlook: Note: all dates and times are local Indonesian time. Surfline offers this forecast on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings.Our latest SSW groundswell will continue to fade into Saturday, June 14th, and a storm that was down under last week directed most of its swell energy towards Western Australia but we will see some building head high plus SW to SSW groundswell for Saturday with some sets running a few feet overhead plus for later in the day and then fading but still workable and head high plus SSW swell will go into Sunday, June 15th, with smaller but workable surf into Monday morning.Further out, we just had an impressive storm in the South/Central Indian Ocean that had a rather larger fetch of 35-40+ knot winds and seas were reaching over the 35 foot mark. This long period SW groundswell from 205-220 degrees will build in late Monday and then really kick in for Tuesday and into Wednesday, June 17-18th, with head high plus to double overhead surf for most of the SW facing breaks and the top breaks will be pulling in triple overhead sets with some larger sets at the premier SSW facing breaks. Thursday, the 19th, will bring fading but still head high plus surf with sets running several feet overhead and then we will be expecting some new SW groundswell for around Friday, June 20th, with another shot of head high plus surf and the top breaks should see some overhead sets. We should see a little break in the action for that weekend of the 21-22nd but the long range models are showing a rather vigorous storm track that would deliver more solid overhead SW swell for that week of June 23rd.
Good morning Donkeys; So I came across this deal this morning. $50 and free shipping for a 160 GB external hard drive. I should have enough storage space but if you think you are going to get a ton of photos and want to go home with ALL of them, I suggest you bring some extra storage. Here is a link to the deal. This is only good today. Hi all, Departure day for Kandui Resort in the mentawais islands of Indonesia is getting closer and closer. I am so glad I am busy with work the next few weeks to help keep my mind from obsessing about surf.
Everything is dialed in, reservations confirmed, balances paid, flights booked, every know surf accessory purchased, and now it’s time for the actual trip.
I had two separate discussions this week: one about reef booties (which I hate) and the second about any special Visas that we may need. I was pretty sure about the answers to both questions, but I called Anthony Marcotti at Kandui Resort to confirm.
Answer #1: “Kooks wear reef booties…you might need them at G-land but you don’t need them surfing the mentawais“
Answer #2: “no special visas are needed, you pay your visa at the airport about $25, and also pay your mentawais islands tax $40 to our representative Rudy that will pick you up from the airport”
So this morning I was finally able to align my travel plans with Ford’s. We are traveling to and from Singapore on on the Airbus A340/345. The Airbus A340/345 plane is considered the best plane in Singapore Air’s fleet. More than 50% of the Airbus A340/345 has seats that lie flat. Unfortunately it is a raffle system to receive these seats. Either way all of the seats on the Airbus A340/345 have extra leg room and there is only one column of seats where you will be in there middle. So even though we are not as lucky as you all to fly direct (with a stop over) to Kuala Lumpur, we get to fly exec. Below is a comparison of our planes. You can find more info at Seat Guru
Hey Guys: We have 5 rooms reserved here http://www.theambacanghotel.com/ Cost around $80 per night per room As many of you Donkey’s know, we will be staying at the Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel by Marriott in Malaysia. I have booked us 4 rooms that have 2 twins each. So whoever wants a room please let me know. There are 2 Donkeys, Flakely and Kozai, that are arriving on Sunday and they can grovel with those of you that have reserved a room. Speak now or sleep in Chinatown and eat bull penis soup! (Sheagas said it was delicious).
Conner, Please post Padang Status! |
