Swell magnets the only option
Java, Bali, Lombok, Sumbawa forecast by Craig Brokensha (issued Thu 27th November)
Best Days: Every day at super exposed breaks
Friday and next week (Nov 28 – Dec 5)
Very slow couple of days with super exposed breaks the only real locations offering a wave.
This trend will continue through tomorrow and the weekend with very inconsistent 3ft+ sets across exposed breaks with favourable variable winds each morning.
Our better pulses of S/SW groundswell are still on the cards next week, the first due Monday ahead of a secondary slightly bigger pulse Wednesday afternoon, easing Thursday.
Monday's pulse should peak at 3ft to occasionally 5ft across super exposed breaks in Bali, while Wednesday afternoon's increase should reach 4-5ft+ before easing from 4-5ft Thursday morning and further into next weekend.
Winds should continue to be generally variable through next week with a tendency to the SW through the days which is less than favourable.
Longer term there's still nothing major on the cards for our region unfortunately with persistent blocking patterns developing across the Indian Ocean. More on this Tuesday.

Hey mate,
Do you know if you're going to do any updated notes soon?
Cheers!
We've shifted the focus away from Indo to Hawaii with the change of seasons ACB.
If you've got some questions though about the region regarding swell and winds, fire away.
Hey Craig,
Thats understood, makes perfect sense.
well i'm @ Keramas atm, having a great time. Yesterday was a good clean 2 ft and a little smaller today but onshore.
I was just wondering what the weeks forecast was like, should we head to Nusa Dua as its a bit more of a swell magnet?
How do the charts look my good friend?
Thank you as always,
ACB.
