**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Hello surfers and welcome back to the baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report. I was down the beach at 6.00am this morning and wasn’t really surprised to see that wave height is still all but flat on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban . Nothing at all worth paddling out for between Kuta Reef and Airports . The tide was running in for a 2.0mtr High set for around 10.30am and the wind was coming outta the ESE-SE @ 1-3knot and off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu . When the tide does hit the top I reckon you might just find a small beach break up around Padma St to settle the nerve’s. The next Low tide will bottom out at 0.5mtr’s around 4.30pm. I also took another close look at the swell prediction charts last night and hopefully by tomorrow afternoon we’ll see a bit of an improvement in wave height. If not I’m going fishing . I also spotted my old mate and goofy footer stylist Scott Haladay from Newcastle who’s back in Bali again after an 8 year absence. So if any of you guys play the stock market I’d be buying shares in Bintang Beer. While I’m at it I better give a big Thank You to my good friend Mr Robert J Ortenzo Jr from over in Diego, CA. Ok so at least I’ve managed to load ya’s up a fresh VIDEO CLIP of footage shot down at Uluwatu on the 8th of Nov. You can also find a couple of new surf reports from Ray at the Kandui Surfing Resort up in the MENTAWAI ISLANDS .
Weather wise we had some torrential rain that started around 2.00am and never let up until 5.00am. But now at 9.15am the cloud cover is breaking up and there’s some solid patches of blue sky opening up. We should be heading for top temperature of around 29-30 degree’s Celcius with the humidity right up in the 90% range. The water temp is warming up and currently around the 24 degree Celsius mark.
I’d also like to say thanks all the considerate surfers & families that have locked in to our commitment to help a school get hooked up with electricity . We have almost reached our goal, that is if everyone who has pledged makes it through. So hopefully by early next week I’ll be taking a fat wad of Rupiah up to hand over to the school committee !!! I’ll also be making a point of making a new page on baliwaves.com today so we can document the progress up at the “ Datah Primary School ” Thanks again for everyone’s patience and support ! For any new viewers to the baliwaves the paragraph below is a bit of a rundown on our school project.
Ok our first objective of aquiring the funds to hook up electricity to the school is done . So a huge pat on the back to all of you that have already contributed or in the process of !!! But there’s still a bit more we can do for the school so if you are interested take a look at the Info page on the school project over on the menue bar.
I’m stoked that our Scholarship Program for underprivileged Balinese kids has done so well, THANKS BIG TIME to all the big hearted people who have got behind us and helped out. Now I’ve got a new program that I’d like to kick off. One that we can control and keep constant progress up-dates on. I’m talking about kinda adopting a school up in one of the area’s of Bali where there’s no cash flow from tourism and hardly any from anything else for that matter. The kids don’t have to pay school fees, because their Mum and Dad’s don’t have any money to pay. Half, or more of the kids that attend don’t even have shoes to wear to school and walk up to 4km’s bare footed or in rubber thongs just to be there. Now in my opinion this is a worthy project for us to think about. What I’d like to start off with is trying to raise enough cash to get electricity hooked up to the school, with electricity we can then look at a lot of other basic stuff, like a water pump etc etc etc.
Have a good one what ever you’ve got happening out there and stay tuned to the one and only Original Bali Surf and Weather website.
