The Inertia

When dry season hits the Bukit Peninsula, the east winds blow. And on May 10, with a solid swell in the water, everything came together. Bingin was a little fickle, though — the bigger sets weren’t working all that well, but Impossibles was positively on fire.

“Basically every spot was working in the afternoon as the low tide was around 4 p.m.,” wrote Surf Raw Files on its YouTube page. “Bingin was very fickle, the big sets were just not doing it, but Riuky and a few guys still found the tubes and in the mean time even the right hander started to work.”

Surfers in Bali have had a really good few months. Surf-wise, of course. The pandemic was terrible for tourism, but the silver lining was that, when a whole lot of back-to-back swells hit the Bukit in late July and August, world-class waves were basically empty.
