Bali Surf Report – July 25 2007

**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Good morning friends and thanks for tuning in for the run down on todays surfing and weather conditions here in Bali . I got off to a bit of a late start this morning due to few too many drinks at the Dewi Sri Restaurant last night with a table of 12 friends of the baliwaves. But I still made it down for the surf recon at 7.00am for ya’s. Wave height has settled down a bit more this morning but still ranging around 3-5ft+ between Kuta Reef and Airport Right . There was still plenty of water covering the reef from the early morning High Tide of 2.1mtrs. Kuta Reef was looking the most popular again but no as busy as it ended up yesterday with a crowd of around 60 surfers. Today there was plenty of waves going through un-ridden, the set waves were around 3-4ft+. Middle Reef still has some solid double over head waves breaking but a lot of them were just close outs. Airport Left had some surfers in the water, and similar in size to KR. There woulda also been a few sly waves breaking around the other side of the Airport runway on Airport Rights . Bugger all wind earlier but what there was was coming outta the NW and on-shore . But now at 9.00am it’s already starting to swing around to the ESE-SE and off-shore again. Weather wise out there conditions are perfect, lots of blue sky and we’ll be heading for a max temperature up in the early 30’s on the Celsius scale. The water temp isn’t bad either at 22 C. Ok yesterday I got tied down and couldn’t make it down to Padang Padang for the Rip Curl Trials , but Dewa Made was down there and reckoned there was some shit hot surfing going down. It wasn’t your all time perfect Padang Padang but there were some 5-6 footers for the boys to get into. Instead we ended up with these photos from Balangan courtesy of one of the boys from Home Base, Irish Steve. Like I mentioned the other day I’ve got a lot of stuff happening at the moment making plans for next month when old Slim is finally gunna be tieing the knot. Back on the surfing trail and I had a good look at the swell charts again yesterday and there’s certainly no shortage of swell in the Indian Ocean at the moment. It looks like we’ve still got at least 2 more back to back swells in transit heading to Bali . Ok that’s me for now I wanna go down and test out the new 1.6 x converter on the Cannon XL2 and see how close I can get to Kuta Reef with her. Dan from the Super Bank has also sent ya’s through some new photos and surf report and I’ll have those on-line for ya’s in another 10 minutes. Have a good one out there what eva ya got on today. And if your not on your way to Bali then ya better stick close to the Baliwaves.com ok.
