****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Hi folks and thanks for stopping by the baliwaves.com for the news on todays surfing and weather conditions here on the best value surfing holiday destination of Bali. And I gotta say that after spending the last 2 months out of the water with a knarly infected (rusty steel) hole in my foot it was finally, good to get back in the water.
This mornings check on the Outer reefs here in Tuban was showing another decrease in wave height with only 1-2ft+ of swell hitting between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. But still surfing conditions were perfect. No wind at all when we first jumped off the reef taxi at Kuta Reef and the water was incredibly clear. It kinda made it look like there was only 1 foot of water between your board and the reef. When infact there was at least 2 to 3 feet… We had Kuta Reef to ourselves, nothing special but some fun little waves in the waist to nipple high range peeling for around 40mtrs.
Further down on Middle Reef there looked to be around 25+ surfers on it with wave height only slightly bigger. Then at Airport Left the channe;l was chocka block full of waiting reef taxi’s and at least 30 surfers in the water.
Tidal info for today had a 1.6mtr High @ 9.00am and then a mediocre 1.0mtr Low around the 2.00pm mark.
Weather wise we’ve got another perfect day for the lucky one’s here on holidays. Blue sky and sunshine with a top temperature of around 34 degree’s Celsius. The water temp was just as perfect in boardshorts at 24 degree’s Celsius. No wind early this morning but then the ESE-SE off-shore kicked in around 10.00am. Now at 3.45pm the wind seems to have swung back to the WNW.
Swell forecast for the following week is showing that we should see another small spike in wave size on Wednesday. Then fading back out through Thursday and then not much left for Friday and Saturday. Sunday morning looks like another small spike filling that should hold through Monday. Then late Monday afternoon come Tuesday morning see’s the start of a more moderate swell marching in towards Bali.
