**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Good morning surfers and thanks for stopping by for the baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report. Well I took my time going down to check surfing conditions today as I kinda guessed (re: swell forecast) that wave height woulda dropped back a bit more today.
So at 7.15am wave height between Kuta Reef and Airport left was showing in the 1-2ft+ range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. The first of our tides today is a 2.2mtr High @ 8.30am then we’ll have a 0.6mtr Low around 2.30-3.00pm. What wind there is at the moment is coming outta the NNE @ 1-2knot but will turn to the ESE-SE sometime around mid morning.
Small waves on the Outer Reefs, Kuta Reef and Airport Left were brea king but only in the waist to waist high plus range while Middle Reef was pushing shoulder high plus on the bigger set waves. Middle Reef will improve after the High tide passes and starts to run back out.
Scotto has gone back up to Canggu this morning and phones through to say that there were some ok waves brea king in the waist to head high class with somewhere around 15-20 surfers in the water at 6.45am. Scott will have some new photos for us to look at when he gets back to Home Base and I’ll throw em up for ya’s with the afternoon surf up-date.
I’d have to imagine that Uluwatu would be the top location for a paddle this morning with head to head high plus waves for the crew down there. Yesterday the final’s of the Rusty Rumble in the Jungle surfing contest were run over at Sanur Reef and the boys were lucky and scored some nice waves to finish off with. Made Awan was the man of the day surfing his way from round 1 right through to No.1. You can read the full report on the event on the ISC website or in the baliwaves.com Stories section.
Weather wise around Tuban this morning we have another classic holiday type day coming on for the lucky ones here on vacation. Blue sky and sunshine and right now at 8.15am the tempe rature is just reaching 25 degree’s Celsius heading for a maximum of 30 C.
Swell Forecast (16th May – 22nd May) Well the last week has produced some solid swell through out Ind onesia that’s for sure. From Sumbawa in the East to Sumatra to the West and Bali and G-Land in between. Next week we’ll still be doing plenty of surfing as well but in more moderate conditions. This current swell we still have showing today will continue to back off until our next little boost starts to appear around Sunday morning. Not quite as big as the last swell but it should still be producing some good waves on the Reefs through till Monday before starting to taper off. Then furth er out around Wednesday there’s another smaller system moving in on us that will be showing best on the more open south facing locations. So I hope your hear to enjoy it all !
Mentawai islands ; The good guys from the Kandui Surf Resort have sent us through another new batch of photos showing off more perfection in their part of Ind o. And you’ll be able to suss them out in the Surf Report section. Here’s another baliwaves bonus for ya’s dept; Anyday now we’ll also be providing ya’s with surf reports and photos from the Macaronis Surf Resort up in the Mentawai’s. I was talking to a couple of friends yesterday who have been out on charter in the Ments and they reckon if they ever make it back up there again they won’t be going on a boat after stopping off in the Surf Resorts. That’s where they’ll be heading. The Surf Resorts up there just make it all too easy for their guests with speed boats to zap you around all day and then back to the Resort for R & R in the evenings.
G-Land ; I had a pnone call from G-Land this morning and Raymond said to tell you guys and girls that he’ll give you 15% discount off the published price. Just click on his G-Land banner over in our banner advertisement section and drop him an email.
