****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** And a big good morning to everyone tuning into the baliwaves.com Sunday Session coming to ya’s live from the N0.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali.
My 7.00am surf recon of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban was looking real positive for scoring some nice waves in the 2-4ft+ range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. The first of our tides today will be a 2.4mtr High around 11.00am and then seeing as though we have just gone 2 days past the New Moon we’ll have a reef draining 0.1mtr Low around 5.30pm. Hardly any wind out there earlier and only just now at 9.30am is the ESE off-shore Tradewind starting to blow.
Kuta Reef has some niced shaped waves peeling off in the shoulder to head high plus and should continue breaking until well after lunch. But while I was on the beach there was wave after waves of boat filled surfers heading out there.
Middle Reef was picking up more solid sized action with wave height well over head still. Middle will improve as the tide turns and starts it’s run back out.
Airport Left also had an armada of boats parked in the channel but she was beaking consistently in the shoulder to head high plus division.
Uluwatu ; No news in from down at the Search contest yet this morning but I’d have to imagine wave height would have to still be pushing the 4-6ft range for the final day. We should have more photos from the Search when Scotto gets back to Home Base later this afternoon.
Keramas ; Reports in from there was saying wave height was breaking solidly in the 4-5ft+ range and every one that was not in the contest at Uluwatu or anyone that was already taken out of the event were up there.
Dragon Fly Pt further up the coast from Keramas was breaking perfectly in the 3-4ft range but the sad news is that there was a jet ski crew and surfers filming there this morning. Hopefully they won’t turn it into another circus as they did with Keramas…
Weather wise there was a bit of cloud around through the early hours but it’s cleared up nicely and we have a sunny Sunday for the beach lovers in Bali.
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
Ok so plenty of waves happening around Bali today and ya could virtually have taken your pick of locations on either side of the island (except for Uluwatu of course). I have to apologise about the New Video Clips as Revver’s website was having some tech problems at the time I loaded the new clips. But hopefully you will be able to down load the 2 New Clips by now. I’ve also dropped another 160 photos into the July Surfing Gallery so take a look at those while your waiting for the Video’s. The boys from Kandui Surfing resort in the Mentawai’s have also sent us some sick sick photos of there recent swell and you’ll find those on there surf report page.
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.
