****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Hello surfers and welcome back to the baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report. Well after a good nights sleep things are pretty much back to normal around here and I was down at the beach sussing out the waves at 7.00am.
Wave height between Kuta Reef and Airport Left was still hanging in there in the 3-5ft range and shaping up for another fantastic day of surfing all around the island of Bali. The first of our tides today is going to be a 2.5mtr High around the 11.00am mark and then a Full Moon reef exposing 0.1mtr Low @ 5.00pm. There was no wind at all earlier when I was on the scene but then around 9.00am the ESE off-shore Tradewind kicked in.
Kuta Reef was peeling off clean waves in the 2-4ft or shoulder to head high plus class. The waves were still a bit wonky with the lack off off-shore wind to hold up the lip but I’d say it’d be smoking as I type this report up now at 10.30am. And that’s where I’ll be heading as soon as I get it on line for ya’s.
Middle Reef still had a few solid head to double head high waves earlier but also in need of the off-shore wind. Middle’s will be in it’s prime later this afternoon as the tide starts to run back out.
Airport Left also had plenty of head to head high plus waves brea king and I’m sure the right hander woulda been brea king nicely. As one of our guests from here at Home Base said it was pretty good around there yesterday.
I also just hand a phone call from one of the boat captains who is currently out on charter to Lombok and Sumbawa and he said that Desert Pt on Lombok was brea king in the 6-8ft+ range yesterday but none of the surfers onboard the boat wanted anything to do with it.
Weather wise there was some rain through the night and early morning cloud cover but now it’s starting to look good with nothing left but blue sky and sunshine.
Ok so just like our swell forecast says waves and waves and more waves a coming. I’ve gone and made you lot 5 New Video Clips from Padang Padang yesterday so ya’s had better flick through the Revver Video section of baliwaves.com and check em out. BTW; there aint nothing I can do about the way the new clips are loaded to the very back… But if you do multiple clicks on the bottom arrow head you’ll get to the latest ones pretty quickly.

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.
