****MIDDAY SURF UP-DATE**** Hello friends and a big welcome aboard the baliwaves.com first and original Bali surf and weather report this fine and sunny Monday.
Well I didn’t even bother to take a look at surfing conditions on the Outer Reefs this morning after receiving a phone call from a friend who lives down at Uluwatu saying there was a definite increase in wave height down there.
I arrived around 8.30am to find wave height in the 3-4ft range with some screaming barrels warping down through the low tide Racetrack section. Surfing conditions were pristine with a light ESE-SE off-shore wind. On arrival there were only around 25 surfers scattered between the Main Peak and Racetrack section. But as the tide bottomed out and then started to run back in that number quickly grew into the 70’s but spread out from the Temple to the Track.
As you can see in these current photos I took this morning it was a sheer Tube fest for the surfers that made the effort to head down to Uluwatu today. And a big relief to see some decent waves around Bali, and with the swell expected to increase a touch more over the next 24hrs it’s only gunna be getting better. There was also no shortage of body boarders taking advantage of the shallow tubes the racetrack was throwing up and I’ll try and get some new photos loaded onto the BB page later this evening.
Coming home past Padang Padang and Impossible’s there was plenty of lines bening down the reef at Impossible’s in the 2-3ft range. But Padang Padang was looking sad and only showing 1-1ft+.
Tide wise today we had a 0.6mtr Low @ 9.00am and then we’ll be in for a 1.6mtr High around 3.00pm.
Weather wise it’s been perfect with more or less just blue sky and sunshine here along Bali’s South Western Coastline. Temperatiure wise right now at 12.30pm the mercury would be sitting around the 31 degree Celsius mark.

Swell Forecast ; (3rd -10th) Lets just hope the forecasters have got it wrong. Currently the charts are calling for small to micro sized waves for the remainder of this week. Then sometime around Sunday things will be getting back to normal for Bali with a moderate swell arriving. It’s also looking good for another swell behind that one. So all in all, not much happening for rest of this week but next week it will be on everywhere !
Mentawai Islands ; the crew from both the Kandui Surf Resort and Macaroni’s have sent us through some new reports and photos so if your interested in seeing whats been happening up in that region of Indonesia check out both those surf reports in our report section.
