**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Hello surfers and once again welcome back to the baliwaves.com for your daily (7/7) dose of Bali surf and weather information. This morning I had to wait for the rain to let up before I could make the run down to the beach for an eye ball of the Outer Reefs.
So at 7.15am wave height between Kuta Reef and Airport Lefts wasn’t showing at all, fla t city out there today. Well there was one surfer out at Middle Reef and I suppose I did see him catch one wave in the knee high class that went for about 6yrds. Then again there were 20 other surfers sitting on Airport Left, but sitting was all they were doing.
The first of our tides today is going to be a 2.1mtr High @ 9.00am then followed up by a 0.8mtr Low @ 3.00pm . Wind direction was coming cleanly outta the ESE @ 2-5knot and straight off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu.
Looking for a wave today your gunna be hard pressed to find anything worth wasting wax on. But for the grommets (at heart) you’d be best off heading down South to Uluwatu or hitting the beach breaks up along the Kuta to Legian stretch of sand on the High tide. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll see a slight improvement in wave height, fingers crossed. If not I’m going fishing.
Weather wise , like I mentioned we did have some dark cloud and heavy rain through the early am, and now at 8.45am I think there’s still a bit more to come yet. But when the Tradewind kicks in, and that should happen anytime from now on we will more than likely end up with just another hot and sunny day here on the happy little holiday island of Bali.

Surfboard Tax outta Bali : There is none…. And the people responsible for spreading that economy damaging rumor should be placed inside a board bag, hung from a tree and slowly roasted over a burning garbage can.
Dreamland: A lot of people have asked me about whats happening down at the once beautiful beach called Dreamland. Well the word is that all the warungs and café’s have been pulled down for a developers dream. Just about all the sand has been washed away and the place is looking very sad, so are the locals who were once making a life down there.
