On big swells, a fun kid’s beachbreak appears at high tide on the inside of Jimbaran Bay, near the seafood restaurants. But the quality wave here is Airport Rights, a hollow right reefbreak out near the southern end of the airport. You can get an outrigger from Kuta Reef to drop you off and pick you up later, but you need 6 foot plus of solid swell, a high tide and virtually no wind.
Indonesia’s monetary unit is the RUPIAH (Roo-pee-ah) symbolised as “Rp”. Like Dollars, rupiah are written “Rp 1,000” but said “1,000 Rupiah”. Some tourists refer to “Rupes” when speaking English, but when speaking Indonesian you should only say “Rupiah”. Recently one Australian Dollar was worth just over Rp 10,000. The rate fluctuates daily so only change enough for a few days.
