****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Hello again and welcome back to your baliwaves.com daily run down on surf and weather conditions around Bali.and the start of another surfing week here on the holiday island of Bali.
This morning I had to wait for the rain to let up before I could make my way down for the surf check on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban. That was at 8.30Am and I’m happy to report that there’s still plenty of waves breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. Dropping off just a touch in size from yesterday afternoon but still showing in the 2-4ft range.
Surfing conditions are clean and glassy and the wind was only just coming out of the West @ 0.1knot.
Tide wise the first today will be a 1.9mtr High @ 0.00AM and then she’ll be running back out for a 0.5mtr Low @ 3.00PM
Kuta Reef was peeling off some nice waves in the waist to head high range. Very clean and glassy and at the time I was on the beach there would have only been around 10 surfers out there.
Middle Reef was pulling in some slightly bigger set waves but with the 1.9mtr high coming up the waves will be a little bit fat and full. Middle’s will be the spot later this afternoon on the lower end of the tide.
Airport Left was only showing wave height in the waist to chest high range but all the same breaking consistently. Airports will be the place to be if you want to brush up on your Japanese.
Looking for a wave elsewhere today you would be able to find something at just about any location on either side of the island with the light wind we currently have. Of course you would find the most swell at locations like Uluwatu, Nusa Dua and up at Keramas. Balian would also have to be a special for anyone who made the long drive.
Weather wise it’s still pretty grey outside at the moment. The rain started in the wee early hours of the morning and has only just let up around 8.40AM.
Swell Forecast 23rd – 29th , Hmmm, well nothing to look forward to through today and tomorrow at least. The charts are calling in a new swell to start showing on the reefs sometime late on Saturday though. So come Sunday we should have waves at just about all locations around Bali pushing into the double head high class at the more open beaches. This should continue into Monday before backing off again Tuesday. Then hopefully we’ll see another small system move through and perk up the surfing spirits on Wednesday / Thursday next week.
Photo Up-Date , The lads from the Macaroni Surf Resort have sent us in some new photos and news from there part of Indonesia. New surf reports from the Kandui Sur Resort and I’ll be checking in with the G-Land Surf Camp crew later this afternoon to see if they have anything for us.
