****MIDDAY SURF UP-DATE**** Welcome back to the baliwaves.com and time for a fresh surf and weather report from your favourite surfing holiday destination of Bali. But first I better say thank you to Mr Steve Walsh who is currently a guest here at Home Base Bali for yesterdays photos from Canggu.
This morning I was down at the beach at 7.00am for the daily surf check of the Outer Reefs and right on cue wave height has picked up a notch or two between Kuta Reef and Airport left.
Tide wise our first for the day was a 0.4mtr Low @ 8.00am and then she’ll be filling back in for a 2.1mtr High around 1.30pm. While we are on the subject of tides, this morning our beach crew were pretty distressed to find a huge amount of overnight beach erosion down where we keep our boats. I snapped a few photos with my mobile phone camera and I’ll try and get them loaded into the Kuta Cam Gallery later today. Wind wise the ESE-SE Tradewind has been blowing since daybreak and currently gusting up to 8-12knot. Straight off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu.
Kuta Reef did have a coupe of small waves peeling off at the time in the waist to shoulder high range but the tide was a touch too low through the early morning session.
Middle Reef had some good looking set waves in the head to head high plus range and better suited to the morning low tide.
Airport Left was breaking in the 2-2ft+ range and will probably be the best option for a paddle on the Outer Reefs when the tide fills in.
Beach breaks of Kuta and Legian will also be worth a look around lunch time and I did get some reports in that there wre some nice waves breaking at Padma St on yesterdays High tide.
Uluwatu would be the best bet for the more experienced surfers today and you’d find wave height to be easily in the head to head high plus range on the Main Peak.
Weather wise there was a bit of cloud over us this morning but by 10.00am the sun was out blazing away. Heading for top temperature or around 32 degree’s Celsius on the beach. The water temp is also pretty good sitting around 22-23 degree Celsius mark.
Swell Forecast ; Well just for a quick summary I see it as getting a small boost in wave height on Tuesday and backing back off a touch Wednesday. Then sometime around Thursday we get a better looking swell producing system hitting the island of Bali. Then further out again Saturday see’s another swell filling in for the weekend.
Exchange Rates ; I’ll get back on the money changing program and post some exchange rates for ya’s later this afternoon ok.

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. Plus the crew from Macaroni’s Surf resort have also sent us new photos and surf reports from their part of the Ments.
