****MIDDAY SURF UP-DATE****
Hello crew and welcome to the weekend on baliwaves.com for the latest (only) news on surfing and weather conditions here on the with out a doubt, best value, sure fire, surfing holiday destination of Bali.
Well this mornings surf check on the Outer reefs here in Tuban went down at 6.45am. And it was nice to see plenty of action out there ranging from 2-4ft (waist to well over head) between Kuta reef and Airport Left. The tide was just about on the bottom of a 0.3mtr Low and apart from that surfing conditions were perfect with clean off-shore wind coming out of the ENE @ 4-8knot.
My crew opted for a paddle on Kuta Reef and as ya’s can see in these current photos I shot there was some nice ones coming through. Only 3 other surfers in the water at the time (9.00am) but as the tide filled in it wasn’t long and the numbers were in the low 20’s. I also took a spin around to Middle Reef for a look and there were 11 surfers riding the left handers, with wave height coming through slightly bigger on the sets.
Later this afternoon we are going to take a run down to the Southern end of the island for a late afternoon session. So I’ll add those photos to the current gallery for ya’s.
Weather wise it couldn’t be better here in Bali. Clear blue sky, off-shore wind and waves a plenty. temperature wise she’d have to be around the 32 degree Celsius mark at midday.
Ok folks enjoy your weekend, I know the lucky buggers already here in Bali will be, see ya’s again tomorrow !

Hi Slim
I was going to try out some different fins, can I get these in Bali, or am I better getting them in Oz ?
davo says
plenty of fcs in bali . but if its anything else , make sure you get it in oz , and buy spare sets of fins , and also buy the plugs/ tracks/ finboxes that they fit into …. if its not fcs , and you loose a fin or rip out a plug you will be left high and dry if you have some new fandangled fin design , as chances are they wont have it in bali if you need spares . as the scouts say ” Be prepared “.
As for me , I prefer glassed in fins you just accept them as they are , theyre stiffer and more resposive and theyre stronger when they hit the reef, but are a bitch to tape up and pack if you have to fly a lot ….. But ….., each to theyre own
