**** AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE **** Hi crew and welcome back to the one and only baliwaves.com daily 7/7 surf and weather report website , your eye on whats happening surfwise here in Bali.
Well as ya’s can see the boys staying here with us at Home Base Bali in Tuban scored more perfect waves in the 2-4ft range . Well that’s not bad considering at day break around this part of the island the Outer Reefs (Kuta Reef across to Airport Left) were only breaking in the 1-2ft range . But it did involve another 2 hour car trip to get to it.
First up wind direction was coming lightly outta the North @ 1-3knot and perfectly off-shore up along Bali’s North Western Coastline . Tidewise we had a 2.1mtr High around 10.00am then followed by a 0.5mtr Low @ 4.00pm . Sometime around 10.00am the wind did a switcheroo and started to blow ESE-SSE and off-shore from Legian to Uluwatu . Speaking of Uluwatu one of the local boys from Ulu called me up and reckoned the Main Peak was producing some nice waves in the 3-4ft range through the High tide.
I took another surf check of the Outer Reefs around 1.00pm and there was definitely an increase in size from the morning. The wind was still clean off-shore outta the ESE-SSE @ 3-6knot combined with 2-3 footers breaking on Middle Reef and Airport left . So tomorrows showing the signs for more fun sized surf around Bali for the lucky buggers here on vacation.
For the surfer / fisherman out there, and isn’t there a little bit of fisherman in all of us ? Well you guys can take a look at the freshly up dated fishing report and photos from the last couple of days sport fishing here in Bali.
Weather wise right up until now it’s been a perfect holiday type day. Loads of sunshine and blue sky with a midday max temperature of around 31 degree’s Celsius and water temp of 22-23 degree’s Celsius. But right now at 4.30pm we’ve just had some big old black clouds over and start dropping rain on us.
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.
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.
if your looking for a cheap, clean and 100% surfer friendly place to HOME BASE in Bali . Airconditioned rooms starting from AU$13.00 a night per single room and fan cooled rooms @ AU$8.00 per single room, here in Bali, and only a 10 minute walk down to the beach and Outer Reefs here in friendly Tuban .
If it’s something a little more private you’r looking for take a look at the private bungalow for rent we have in our Business Directory and drop the owner Michael Owen an email. Michael is one of the old school surfers who rubs shoulders with the likes of Gerry Lopez and Peter McCabe just to name a couple of Indo Legends.
Finally, I just wanna refresh ya’s about what baliwaves.com is all about . We’re not trying to flog ya’s surf trips or sell ya’s anything for that matter, we’re just trying to show ya’s how good it is here in Bali / Indonesia for a surfing holiday. We want you guys to come over and have a ball and then go back home and tell your friends how good it is.
