****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Howdy friends and welcome back for the baliwwaves.com Sunday Session bringing ya’s the latest surf and weather info from your favourite surfing holiday destination of Bali.
Ok so these latest photos are the ones that Scotto blasted off yesterday out at Kuta Reef. This morning when I went down for an 8.00am surf check of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban wave height has dropped down into the 1-3ft range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. Tidewise we have a 2.4mtr High happening at 12.00pm and then another reef exposing 0.1mtr Low around sunset time. The ESE-SE Tradewind was already blowing hard off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu @ 9-13knot+.
Kuta Reef had some small and wind affected 1-2 footers breaking and there were 4 surfers in the water dealing with it at the time.
Middle Reef had around a dozen surfers out there and the set waves were coming through in the shoulder to head high class.
Airport Left had a crazey crowd of 25+ surfers in the water with wave height coming through in the waist to chest high range.
The beach breaks would be worth a look towards lunch time and you’d probably find some waves in the waist to chest high plus range anywhere along the Kuta to Legian stretch of sand.
Ok small waves here along the West Coast today but hopefully we’ll see a new swell hitting the reefs by tomorrow morning, or there abouts. Don’t forget to check out the New Video Clips I loaded up for ya’s yesterday. Especially the 2 from Padang Padang and you’ll get to see the fishing boat that ran aground. Also the latest news from Padang Padang is that the boat has turned side on the the waves.
Weather wise out there today we have an overcast start this morning but as usual we can expect blue sky and sunshine by early afternoon. Heading for a top temperature of around 31 degree’s Celsius.
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.
We also have a NEW Home Base guest house close by to Airport Left and the other breaks of the Outer Reefs, 5 min walk. This place is more private and spacious with big air conditioned rooms, hot and cold water, tv and plenty of off street parking all enclosed in Balinese style. The rooms are AU$16.00 for a room with big double bed and AU$30.00 for a twin share room.
For the surfer / fisherman out there, and isn’t there a little bit of fisherman in all of us ? Well you guys can take a look at the fishing report and photos from the last couple of trips out sport fishing here in Bali
Check out the wotashot.com banner over in our banner advertising section. These guys offer a unique photo service enabling photographers to sell their photos on-line without any charge to the photographer.
Don’t forget if any of you lot want to grab some photos or video footage surfing here in Bali and we can easily arrange it for ya.
Money saver tip #752 : Anyone wanting to get out on a 3 island 7 day boat charter to Lembongan, Lombok and Sumbawa drop me a line cause I was talking to an operator last night and he’s offering the all inclusive trips for just AU$600.00 !!! Start organizing your crew now for the recommencement of these charters in March 08. Better still charter the boat privately with up to 10 of your friends for AU$6,000. all inclusive.
If it’s somewhere a little more private you’r looking for take a look at the private bungalow for rent we have in our Business Directory and drop the owner Michael Owen an email. Michael is one of the old school surfers who rubs shoulders with the likes of Gerry Lopez and Peter McCabe just to name a couple of Indo Legends.
Finally, I just wanna refresh ya’s about what baliwaves.com is all about. We’re not trying to flog ya’s surf trips or sell ya’s anything for that matter, we’re just trying to show ya’s how good it is here in Bali / Indonesia for a surfing holiday. We want you guys to come over and have a ball and then go back home and tell your friends how good it is.
