**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Good morning everyone and thanks for dropping in for the rundown on todays surf and weather conditions here in Bali . Well yesterday wave height was still looking pretty tiny and un-inviting so I bailed oput fishing for the day. But Scott was itching to shoot some photos so he headed down the beach breaks along the Kuta stretch on the higher end of the tide. That’s where these current photos came from.
This morning and it’s a whole new ball game out there on the Outer Reefs . I went down for the surf recon and was all smiles to finally see some waves biger than 1 foot. Wave height has jumped from nothing back into the 2-4ft range between Kuta Reef and Airports . The tide was just hitting the bottom of a 0.1mtr Low , no wind present so surfing conditions were pristine. The tide was too low for Kuta Reef and Airports but when the tide starts to fill back in for 1.9mtr High around lunchtime there certainly will be some head high peelers. Right now Middle Reef is the go and there were some solid looking 4 footers coming through and no surfers in sight. I also bumped into our guest photographer (Scott Thompson) and he was as happy as a pig in shit with the prospect of shooting some decent waves. I’ve also sent Dewa Made down to Uluwatu with the Video Equipment so there’s gunna be plenty of new material for ya’s later this evening. By the way I’m heading up to the Datah Primary School this morning to hand over your donations to the school committee so they can start hooking up the Electricity supply to the school. So I’ll have another update for the School project page pretty soon.
Weather wise there was not a drop of rain through the night and this morning has dawned clear and cloudless. We’ve got an absolute perfect day coming on for the beach lovers here in Bali . The maximum temperature will be up there in the low 30’s on the Celsius scale and the water temp just lovely at 24 degree’s Celsius.
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.
