Typhoon Domeng Delivers: A Clean Morning Window in Baler

The reality of the Typhoon Domeng (international name: Jangmi) swell matched the paper forecast—if you timed it right.

While the ENE ground swell filled in beautifully, a rising West wind eventually introduced a messy cross-shore vibe to the lineup. However, the early morning offered a spectacular, hidden window: glassy conditions, calm winds, and amazing sets rolling through despite the high tide.

By mid-morning, the wind picked up, trading the surfboards for camera gear. Here is how the Domeng swell looked on the ground.
