****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE**** Hello friends of Bali and thanks for stopping by the baliwaves.com for another run down on surf and weather conditions. Well I goofed off today and went out for some sport fishing / trolling. But I did get to check out just about every location from Kuta Reef to Nyang Ny ang along the way.
First up my 6.30am surf check of the Outer Reefs was showing another drop in wave height with only 1-2 plus between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. The first of the tides today was a 2.3mtr High @ 8.30am and then a 0.5mtr Low around 3.00pm. There was no wind through the early morning until around 9.00am when the ESE Tradewind kicked in blowing straight off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu.
Kuta Reef wasn’t really producing anything of substance today with only some small and fat knee to waist high plus set waves through the high tide.
Middle Reef was also a bit fat and full through the early morning tide but around 2.00pm when we came back past her there was around half a dozen surfers out there catching the odd waist to head high set wave.
Airport Left was brea king in the waist to waist high plus range with only half a dozen surfers on it.
Balangan had 5 surfers in the water when we cruised by but wave height was only in the waist to chest high on the set waves.
Dreamland had a dozen or so surfers down there riding the little left hander that brea ks through to the shorey.
Bingin was only just brea king but even so there still plenty of surfers in the water with wave height in the knee to waist high range at best.
Impossible’s had one surfer in the water but I didn’t see anything brea k when we went past.
Padang Padang was fla t.
Uluwatu still had the od head to head high plus wave brea king on the Main Peak and that’s where the majority of surfers were today.
Nyang Nyang’s had waves brea king in the waist to head high class but no surfers in sight.
Weather wise it’s been just another hot and sunny day around the happy little holiday island of B a l i .
Swell Forecast (15th – 22nd June) Well after taking a long look at the available swell prediction sites it looks like for today and most of tomorrow wave height will be remaining in the 2-4ft range depending on location of course. Then late Monday or possibly Tuesday we’ll start to see the next swell hitting the reefs of Ind onesia . I’m pretty sure by Wednesday we are gunna be seeing some very solid waves in the double to quadripple over head size. Wave height will settle down a touch, but not too much come Thursday then continuing to taper off through Friday. Then next weekend there’s gunna be more action with arrival of a second swell pushing wave height back into the 5-6ft+ sector. So get ready for it and if your gunna be here in Ind onesia then ya had better stay tuned to the baliwaves.com for the daily coverage.
Ok As ya’s may have noticed… these current photos are just a few of the one’s I shot from my little 3 day excursion to Scar Reef at the end of last week. I’ve also managed to put together a little 2 minute video clip from Scar’s but I had to slow down the speed because I was filming “hand held†from a rocking boat. But anyway I still think it looks ok and it sure as hell does give you a good idea of the power of a solid wave at Scar Reef on the island of Sumbawa .
Drop me a line if your interested in getting on board a 9.5mtr high powered ocean speed boat if you want to surf locations like Desert Pt, Scar Reef, Supersuck, Yo-Yo’s without having to wait days to get the their the old way. I’m thinking this type of trip is gunna be the New Way to hit Lombok and Sumbawa instead of the old 7 day slow boat system. Especially when it’s priced around the same range but doubling the amount of surf time !
And just a reminder that we still have some baliwaves.com T-Shirts and stickers available for ya’s here in Bali so drop me a line.
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.
