MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Howdy folks and welcome back for the baliwaves.com rundown on surf and weather conditions for today. Well there’s not a lot happening out there this morning. I went down for my first surf recon of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban at 6.15am and wave height between Kuta Reef and Airport Left was only just showing in the knee to waist high range at best. The tide was just about on the bottom of the Low tide but not reef exposing being close to the middle of the Moon phase . Kuta Reef wasn’t really an option for a paddle, too small and the tide wrong. Middle Reef did have the odd waist high set pushing through with ok shape. There was one boat load of surfers making their way towards it when I was on the scene. Airport Left was also a bit too small for a wave, around the same size as Kuta Reef. I’d say for those surfers that have to get in the water Uluwatu would be your best chance to find wave height at least shoulder to head high plus. The beach breaks along the Half Way to legian stretch of sand would also be another option as the tide fills in some around mid to late morning. The wind has been coming hard outta the ESE-SE at Tradewind strength (8-12knot+) since dawn. So we’ve got good clean off-shore wind from legian to Uluwatu along Bali ’s South Western Coastline. Weather wise there was some rain through the early early am and now at 8.45am there’s still some heavy cloud floating about with patches of blue filling in the gaps. Tempeature wise we can still expect the mercury to reach the high twenties to early thirties on the Celcius scale. Looking to the future and hopefully we’ll see a new swell starting to show on the reefs come Friday afternoon and into Saturday. For now I’ve loaded another batch of photos from Kuta Reef in fine form from the 4th of May. I’ve also had some video footage (single chip) handed over to us at baliwaves.com from our bro Scott Thompson who’s staying with us here at Home Base Bali . So I’ll try and get that edited and loaded into our video section at some stage of the day. If there are any changes in our swell situation through out the day I’ll get back to ya’s and give ya the goss. Until latyer on have a good one and start planning your next Bali / Indonesia surfing adventure right now !
Our man Pierre has also loaded another surf report from his travels along with a few photos included so check out his Readers Report for that. Plus the lads from the Kandui Surf Resort up in the Menatawai island chain have got more on their Mentawai islands report page. 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.
