**** AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE **** Hi friends and thanks for tuning in once again to the original baliwaves.com for your daily dose of Bali surf and weather info . Well there wasn’t a lot happening surfwise around here on the Outer Reefs but there were still a few sly waves happening around the island all the same. I was pretty busy making a trip up to Balian to help out a friend. And Balian was still producing some quality left and right handers in the head to head high plus range and only 15 surfers in the water. Unfortunately I wasn’t there for surfing this time…
But as ya’s can see our man Scotto was out and about with his 600mm lens and SLR and found these waves brea king down toards Padma St beach break in Legian . Here’s what Scotto had to say on his day out in Bali .
“Today I woke to the sound of rain so I rolled over and went back to sleep for a little while. I can’t stay in bed in the mornings though as I just have to get up and see what the surf is doing. I soon found myself wondering down to the beach in the light drizzling rain to see what the day had in store for us. The outer reefs were not showing any breaking waves other than one 1ft wave break on Airport lefts. The tide was already pretty high and still coming in at 7am. I was going to make the treck up to Canggu today but with the rain I ended up having some things come up that prevented me from getting away till later. Instead I have managed to slip up to the beach breaks at Kuta for an hour and snap off these latest photos. As you can see the waves were extremely fun and the boys were getting plenty of turns and airs in on each one. Wave height varied between 2-3ft on the sets, which were coming in pretty consistently. I had a look on the swell forcast and it looks like we are in for a little boost in size either this afternoon or tomorrow so lets hope that I can find a nice little spot to bring you all the latest photos from Bali . OK thats it for me hope you enjoy another look at the fine waves you can find on this island paradise. Till next time. Scotto”
Weather wise the day kicked off with some solid rain through the early am that finally let up around 8.00am and then for the rest of the day it been blue sky and sunshine.
Special award dept : Two days ago at Uluwatu a wave was ridden from way outside from the Bombie all the way through to the end of the Racetrack. Now that is a long wave let me tell you. The rider of that wave was one Mich ele Trahan and I’m not sure but that could be the longest wave ridden at Uluwatu (excluding waves on the Outside Corner)
Mentawai Islands , and the good guys up at the Kan dui Surf Resort have kept the surf reports flowing and we have more fresh news from Kan dui.
Readers Report , Mick from balishoot.com was over at the Rusty surfing contest that’s being run at Sanur Reef and has sent us in some sick photos to check out. You can also find the full run down in our Story section or by hitting the ISC banner.
Swell Forecast : (3rd – 9th May) Well this current swell was pretty much right on track give or take 12hrs. Tomorrow should see a very slight drop in size but still plenty of solid waves happening around Bali . Sunday see’s a furth er drop in wave height before our next swell system starts to fill in around Monday or Tuesday and then the fun will begin a again. Then even furth er out towards the end of next week yet another solid swell should be making an appearance. So it’s gunna be waves, waves and more waves for the lucky buggers here on the happy little holiday island of B a l i .
