****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE**** Good afternoon folks and welcome back to your baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report website.
No surf recon of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban this morning as I was back on the road well before dawn and heading north west for Medewi. It was around 7.00am that I pulled into the parking area to see waves peeling off in the 3-4ft range. The wind was still only pretty light coming outta the ESE and surfing conditions were clean and glassy.
Crowd wise there were hardly any surfers in the water and it woulda peaked at around 12 spread over a 100yrd distance. Around 10.30am the wind did pick up in strength but the end section was still clean enough to keep surfing.
The first of our tides today was a 2.4mtr High @ midday and then she’ll be running back out for a dry old 0.1mtr Low around the 6.00pm mark.
Weather wise it was a grey and cloudy morning until the sun started to make the odd appearance. Even now at 3.00pm there’s still a 50/50 ratio of blue and grey up there.
Ok then I’ll be back again tomorrow morning with the latest surfing and weather news from your No.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali so see ya’s then.
Don’t forget you can drop us an email through the “Contact†link if you have any questions that might help your next vist to the holiday island run a bit smoother.
Bali Fishing New’s ; Yesterday I finally got around to loading up some of the photos I’ve taken of some of the fish we’ve caught over the last 4 weeks. Plus a bit of a run down on what we’ve been up to. You can find that on our Fishing Report Page in the Reports Menue.
Exchange Rates ; Well the way the Australian dollar has been crashing the last couple of weeks it’s been hard to say what it’s doing today but it would be still ranging between Rp7,650 – Rp7,700 depending on location. While the US$ is still pretty stable at Rp9,100.
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

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.
