****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Good morning crew and thanks for dropping into the baliwaves.com for your daily dose of Bali surf and weather info. And another good looking day of surfing coming up for the lucky buggers here holidaying in Bali.
My 7.00am surf check of the Outer Reefs was showing a slight drop in wave height but still plenty of swell breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left in the 2-5ft range. The first of the tides today is gunna be a massive 2.5mtr High @ 11.00am and then a dry reef exposing 0.1mtr Low around 6.00pm. The ESE-SE off-shore Tradewind had already kicked in and gusting up to 12knot+.
Kuta Reef was picking up chest to head high plus waves but could still do with a little more tide on her. There were already at least 25 surfers in the line up and I’d say there’ll be a lot more out there by late morning.
Middle Reef still had some double over head bomb sets breaking and there were a few surfers out there avoiding the crowds at KR.
Airport Left also had some nice waves in the chest to head high plus class and like Kuta Reef will only get better as the tide fills in.
Ok we’re not gunna be heading anywhere else today except out to Kuta Reef to get a bit closer to the action and Scotto has volunteered to come out and shoot a few photos from the channel with his 600mm. I’ve also just finished loading ya’s another 2 New Video clips from Uluwatu yesterday so they should be visible in another hour or two. I’ll get ya’s some more clips from Padang Padang yesterday as well later this afternoon when I get back from KR.
Weather wise we have a mainly blue sky with the odd cloud floating over. We should easily see a top temperature of around 32 degree’s Celsius, outta the shade of course.
Ok and here’s just a quick heads up on an up coming special even happening here in Bali on the 27th of July. Tom Curren will be playing live at the Hard Rock Café in Kuta along with a screening of Walking on Water surf movie. ALL FOR FREE !!!! So if your in town or going to be in town make sure ya get yourself down there ok.
Drop me a line if your interested in organizing your friends to get on board a 10mtr 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 ! These charters are only for private groups at this stage so organize your surfing buddies and get on board.
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.
