**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Hello friends, adventurer’s, Bali veterans and all you other surfers that are getting ready for a Bali surfing experience this year . Well after taking a look at the ocean this morning it looks like we have another day off from surfing.
I did the surf recon on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban at 6.45am and there wasn’t much at all breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left . Wave height was still only showing in the 0-1ft range on the bigger set waves. The wind was coming outta the West @ 2-4knot+ and light on-shore right along Bali’s West side. Tide wise we are heading for a 1.2mtr Low @ 9.00am , then she’ll be running back in for a 1.8mtr High around the 3.30pm mark.
Looking for a wave today your gunna be hard pressed to find anything bigger than 2ft from Medewi down to Uluwatu on the West Coast. And over on the East Coast it’ll be similar in relation to size but at least you should be able to find cleaner surfing conditions at Nusa Dua, Nyang Nyang’s and maybe Green Bowls this morning.
Weather wise around these parts at least it hasn’t been raining but we do have some light cloud cover at the moment. Hopefully that’ll burn off by midday for a warm to hot day, then maybe more cloud and the chance of an afternoon shower. Expected top temperature for today would still be around the 28-30 degree mark.
Ok the boys from up at the KANDUI SURF RESORT in the MENTAWAI ISLANDS have sent us through some more photos and surf up-dates and you can find them in the Surf Report menue on the right hand side of this page. Scotto has also been out shooting some photos along Australia’s Northern coastal region and you’ll find his material in the same section under READERS REPORTS . Actually I’ll be looking forward to Scott getting back to Bali and helping us out on the photo department. Especially now he’s shooting from behind a brand new Cannon f2.8, 300mm with 2 x convertor connected.
Changing dollars to Rupiah out on the streets of Kuta you can still expect to find that 1AU$=Rp8,375 – 1US$=Rp9,100. And just beware while you’re here in Bali and you see money changers advertising higher than normal rates. This usually indicates a scam of some degree.
Don’t forget if any of you lot want to grab some photos or video footage surfing here in Bali and we can easily arrange it for ya. Hey and do us a favor and buy a baliwaves.com T-SHIRT and help us to keep running this stuff, I don’t think many of you don’t really know how much time, effort and money we put into the running of baliwaves.com . You can find the link over on the right hand side of this page in the MENUE . I tell ya’s what I’ll give the first 50 surfers AU$10.00 off the price but you’ll have to email us first ok ! I also have a very limited number of baliwaves t-shirts here in Bali so drop me a line if you want to pick one up here in Bali.
Money saver tip #752 : Anyone wanting to get out on a 3 island 7 day boat charter to Lembongan, Lombok and Sumbawa drop me a line cause I was talking to an operator last night and he’s offering the all inclusive trips for just AU$600.00 !!! Start organizing your crew now for the recommencement of these charters in March 08. Better still charter the boat privately with up to 10 of your friends for AU$6,000. all inclusive.
