MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Thanks for dropping in for the baliwaves.com SUNDAY SESSION, and to tell ya’s the truth I think it’s gunna be well worth a return visit later this afternoon when we get back from Uluwatu. I went down for my first surf check of the Outer Reefs at 6.15am and wave height as expected has increased over night and now showing at 2-4ft+ between Kuta Reef and Airport Left .The tide is still a bit too low for Kuta Reef and Airports at the moment but Middle Reef was surfable and wave height was coming in at a solid 3-4ft+ while I was watching. Kuta Reef and Airport Left / Right will also have some nice waves later this morning when there’s a bit more water over the reef. The wind was still funky coming outta the NW @ 1-2knot and on-shore, but anytime now the ESE-SE Tradewind will kick in and tidy everything up. Blowing straight off-shore from Legian all the way down to Uluwatu. Weather wise it’s all good and we’ve got nothing but blue sky and sun shine @ 7.45am. Ok that should give ya’s all an idea of what’s install for all the lucky surfers that are here on holiday. Call by later this afternoon and I’ll give ya’s a detailed look at how it was at Uluwatu . In the mean time make sure ya have a flick through the VIDEO CLIPS for the 5 new ones I loaded up featuring Uluwatu / Impossible’s and Bingin . Catch ya’s later ! The good guys at www.ihfonline.org who have been running the Balinese Orphan Schooling Program are in serious need of financial help to keep their operation above water, so please if anyone can help these fantastic people please drop them a line. Money saver tip #752 : Anyone wanting to get out on a 3 island 7 day boat charter to Lembongan, Lombok and Sumbawa drop me a line cause I was talking to an operator last night and he’s offering the all inclusive trips for just AU$650.00 !!!

Lakey Peak on the island of Sumbawa; Onky , our surfer on the scene at Lakey Peak is back on the program after a couple of days goofing off, can’t blame a surfer for that now can we. Onky has sms’d through that wave height has also improved in size overnight and now showing in the head to head high plus range out the front on Lakey Peak . Surfing conditions are ultra clean and glassy this morning and there were 16 surfers sharing the perfect left and rights on “The Peak”. Across the channel at Lakey Pipe there were another 5 tubsters and half a dozen or surfers were making the trek down the beach towards Periscopes . All in all the total number of visiting surfers over at Lakey’s has reached 75. For anyone want ing to try out Lakey Peak make sure you check the tidal information before you head over there. It’s pretty important that you line up your time there while the High Tide is happening through the early am and then progressing forward each day. That way you’ll be assured of scoring perfection. Merpati Airlines are flying there daily from Bali and you can buy your tickets from a 1000 different travel agents anywhere in Bali (and save yourselves some dollars by doing it on your pat malone) Once your in Bima there’s transport drivers waiting to take you to Lakey Peak for around Rp500,000 per van, and that’s split between the surfers. Then ya got a range of Hotels to choose from all right in front of the waves, ranging from low low budget to the very very comfortable rooms of the Aman Gati Hotel. Plus ya can always drop us an email for more information on getting across to lakey’s
