Bali Bodyboarding Report – July 9 2007

**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Good morning crew and thanks for calling in for the baliwaves.com surf and weather report. Well yesterday I have to apologize for not giving ya’s the Sunday Session. But I’ll tell ya’s anyway that wave height was micro down in the 1-2ft+ range and the ESE-SE Tradewind was howling up to 25knot+ . This morning I went down for a 7.00am surf recon of the Outer Reefs and there’s been no change as yet. Wave height between Kuta Reef and Airport Left was for the desperado’s only at one to maybe two feet and the wind winding up to full Tradewind strength outta the ESE-SE. Uluwatu would be your last chance for the odd 3-3ft+ wave but you’d have to be ready for a solid crowd I’d say. Hopefully by late this afternoon we might be seeing the first waves of the new impending swell gracing Bali ’s reef and beach breaks. At the latest there should be a bit more out there by tomorrow. Weather wise the day started off with blue sky and sunshine but right now at 9.00am the cloud has smuther’d out the sun and it’s raining here in Tuban. On the dollar exchanging program on the streets of Kuta you’ll find that; –1AU$=Rp7,600 – 1US$=Rp9,000 – 1NZ$=Rp6,950 . Ok there’s not a lot else to tell ya’s today and I don’t think I’ll bother dragging the camera gear around to shoot the small waves in bad weather. What I have done though is loaded another batch of photos for the boogie boarders onto their page and I’ll be getting Dewa to go and hit the streets of Kuta and Legian with the digimatic to get ya’s a feel of what’s happening out on the streets of Bali today. But like I said if there’s any improvement in wave height today I’ll get back to ya’s with an afternoon surf bulletin.And at the very latest I’ll be out shooting some new material for ya’s come Tuesday. So have a good one for now and hopefully we’ll see ya’s all over here in Bali some time this year.
