Hey guys,
Uluwatu automated report for today is for 10ft (4 x overhead).

Watching on Bali belly cam it looks 3-4 ft.

Craig mentioned a couple of weeks ago that the model forecasts for Indo were pretty spot on, what’s going on today?

Not sure, and Craig's away from his desk this week chasing waves.

Two things:

Looks like swell is hitting this morning, so perhaps running late? Keep an eye on people/camps that post updates.

The BB cam looks down at the Racetrack which is usually way smaller than Temples/Peak/Bommie. If the OC starts capping you'll know it's starting to pick up.

I found the models to be pretty good. Always gonna be a bit of wriggle room this way and that when long period swells, off axis coastlines, and funky tidal movements are involved
