**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Good morning to all you surfers tuning into the baliwaves.com SUNDAY SESSION . Well as ya’s can see I ended up motoring over to Serangan yesterday afternoon and these 8 photos was the best I could do after hanging around for an hour and a half. While I was there wave height was fading out and by the time I chucked in the towel it was down to a weakish waist to shoulder high plus . While the wind was blowing strong cross/off-shore outta the SW @ 12-16knot+. But that wasn’t stopping anyone from being out there having fun and there was still somewhere around 75 surfers in the water at 6.15pm.
This morning when I went down for my mandatory 6.30am surf recon of the Outer Reefs wave height has continued to drop off and currently breaking at 1-2ft between Kuta Reef and Airport Left . But with the wind howling outta the West at 12-15knot it’s just a big mess here along Bali ’s West Coast. Yep we’ve been getting slammed with strong winds and bad weather the last couple of weeks but this system should be dying out in the near future. The main cause of it all has been from a Tropical Cyclone that formed off the top of Northern Australia and then slowly moved West. At the moment it’s still down below us out in the Indian Ocean but is moving further away and decreasing in strength. I also bumped into one of my very few ex-pat friends earlier who had just come back from checking out Serangan in the hope of getting in an early un-crowded session. But Craig’s hair was still dry and he reckoned wave height at Serangan had dropped down to 1-2ft as well. But if you were keen enough you’d still find a few waves in the 2-3ft range at locations lsuch as Nusa Dua and Keramas before the wind tends to swing more to the South West.
Weather wise it’s a nice sunny Sunday out there and if ya could find a spot outta the wind you’d be doing alright. Ok I’m gunna kick back today and take it easy. You have a good one what eva ya got on and we’ll be back again tomorrow with the latest news on Bali ’s surf and weather.
Help Request : If anyone is going to be heading to Bali from the Perth area and would be willing to help us out by bringing a lap top computer over to us from a friend in Perth we’d be totally stoked. This lappy is not for baliwaves.com it will be going up to the Datah Primary School and has been offered up by a champion of a bloke named Shane Cavanagh. Drop me an email if you could help us out and I’ll put you in touch with Shane. Thanks.
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.
Well Thanks to all the kind hearted folks that have helped us improve the conditions up at the Datah Primary School ! We are making some real progress with the objectives we made, so make sure you check out our progress at the school via the “SCHOOL PROJECT” page over on the menue bar .
