****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** G’Day surfers and welcome back to your baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report coming to ya’s from the No.1 surfing holdiday destination of Bali.
This mornings 7.00am surf check of the Outer Reefs was showing another savage drop in wave height as expected. But still enough energy out there to get out and get wet with 2-3 footers breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. The first of our tides today was a 2.3mtr High @ 10.00am and then we’ll see a 0.2mtr Low around 4.30pm. Wind direction is coming outta the ESE-SE upto 12knots and straight off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu.
Unusually small crowds out surfing the Outer reefs this morning when I checked there woulda only be around 15-20 surfers on Kuta Reef and then maybe another 15-20 surfing at Middle Reef. But down at Airport Left with the drop in wave height the usual contingency was back out there.
Swell Forecast (29th July – 4th August) So as I mentioned already pretty small surf around for the remainder of today the 29th. But hold onto ya hats because starting tomorrow the 30th we should have some solid waves hitting our reefs that will hold through into the 31st then slightly dropping off a touch. Then right behind her we have another swell moving into position for the weekend before tapering off early next week. And then there’s even another smaller system behind that !
Weather wise today it’s another Bali classic holiday type day out there. Loads of blue sky and sunshine with some fun sized waves and clean off-shore wind along the beach.
RipCurl Search event was on hold this morning down at Uluwatu with the organizers holding off until the tide starts to run back out. But I did hear there was some pretty hot free surfing going down there this morning. Other news is that the public is allowed down there to watch but only access is from the Temple end staircase and expect a security check or two on the way in. Hopefully tomorrow with another new swell expected to arrive I’ll be heading down there myself to get us some freash photos and video.
I also managed to load ya’s a 2 minute Video Clip from Round 2 at the RipCurl Search so hopefully that’ll be on line and visible any moment now.
And just a reminder that we still have some baliwaves.com T-Shirts and FREE 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.
