Swell Direction • The roaring forties play a major role in creating the ground swells for Bali • Band of westerly wind that blow continuously between 40°-60° south • The lack of seasonality in the southern hemisphere create consistent conditions year round • There is a very large fetch that extends from the roaring forties to Bali • By the time the swell is generated across the large distance the swell size is usually moderate (2-6ft) but the conditions are glassy • The S/E or S/W swell generated from the roaring forties moves along and pushes the waves into the southern Indian Ocean where they finally meet the coasts of Bali Indo and provide surfers with some of the best waves in the world
