OAKLEY PRO BALI
25th – 26th June 2013
Hi surfers and thanks for dropping into the baliwaves.com for the latest news and best views on surfing and weather conditions right here on the best value for tropical surfing holiday dollar destination of BALI.
Ok so yesterday the 25th and we were back over on location at Keramas beach for the start of round 3 of the Oakley Pro Bali ASP sanctioned surfing event. Arriving at 7.00AM to see some absolutely perfect waves peeling off on Keramas in the 3-5ft range. Surfing conditions at the time were equally as perfect with just a slight trace off off shore wind on glassy faces. Free surfing was going down but the call had been made and the event would run. Those 3-5 footers were soon turning to 3-6 footers on the building tide and I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many impossibly deep tube rides made
Just check out the photos I’ve loaded up this morning it was cranking and the surfing level was insane. It was lucky for me I realized that as the tide kept kreeping in it wasn’t going to be much longer and my camera position was going to be compromised by tide and waves. So I scarper’d and re set up on higher ground and watched. With the main spectator area also washed out it wasn’t long and my shooting field for the camera was obscured by bodies and me out of action for most of Kelly’s and Mick’s Heats, spewin.
By midday there was still plenty of waves coming through and the contest was still firing on all 8 cylindars.
26th June 2013
My 7.30AM surf check on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban was showing some ok waves out there between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. At the time the wind was only light out of the W-WNW and wave height breaking cleanly enough in the chest to well over head high range. No shortage of surfers on Kuta Reef, just a handful on Middle’s and Airport Left.
Ketut has phoned through from Keramas this morning and says it’s a green light for the start of today’s action at the Oakley Pro. So we’ll have more photos for ya’s later this evening ok.
The next tide today is going to be another solid 2.5mtr High at 11.42AM
Weather wise we have a mostly sunny sky out there and wind out of the West, midday high temp around 32C.
Ya’s also better start waxing up your guns or working on excuses as there’s plenty more swell in transit to Bali as I type.
