Bali Surf Report – June 8 2007

MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** G’Day to all you surfers goofing off out there, tuning into the baliwaves.com for the latest news on Bali ’s surf and weather conditions today. And we got some good news for ya’s, especially if you’ve just arrived in Indo. I went down for the surf recon at 6.30am to find that wave height was on the move, breaking in the 2-4ft class on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban . The tide was about as low as it is gunna get today, but seeing as though we are dead smack in the middle of the Moon Phase (Full / New) there’s hardly any range between the high and the low. There were 2 surfers in the water at Kuta Reef with wave height in the waist to head high range. The set waves were actually looking like good fun peeling off for around 70yrds. Middle Reef was by looking the best bet for a paddle outta the big 3. Wave height on Middle’s was more like 3-4ft and better suited to the lower end of the tide. There was something like half a dozen surfers in the water. Airport Lefts was also picking up the odd 3-4 footer when the sets rolled through, and as usual there were a few reef taxi’s parked in the channel. The wind has been blowing hard outta the ESE-SE @ 7-12knot since sun up, strong off-shore wind from Legian all the way down to Uluwatu. You’d also find some nice waves happening at Balangan , even Bingin might be worth a look early, and of course Uluwatu would have to be breaking in the 3-5ft range*. Weather wise here in Tuban we’ve got blue sky and sunshine, but looking North towards Denpasar (20kms) there’s some solid banks of cloud and likewise South down towards Ulu there’s also some cloud hanging about. Temperature wise we are going to be in for another hot one around the 30 degree Celsius mark. The water temp is perfect for a swim or surf sitting around 23-24 degree’s Celsius. Yesterday seeing as though the surf was pretty small I loaded another batch of photos from Kuta Reef and I also managed to load 3 NEW VIDEO CLIPS from the same day (the video footage was courtesy of “the surf video guy”). So make sure ya’s scroll through the 128 vid’s on baliwaves.com until you get to em. I also want to say Thank You to Rob & Joanne Ortenzo from the USA for their continued support with the running of baliwaves.com, thanks guys ! On the contest scene I think Canggu is the venue for today, but there’s been so many going down lately it’s hard to keep track of em all. Ok friends of Bali stay tuned to us cause I think we’ve got plans to hit Uluwatu tomorrow with local Quicksilver Ripster Devis Ratif to get ya’s some more action to help inspire and fuel your day dreams of Indo . Have a good one where eva you are and I’ll check ya’s later. 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.
