****EVENING SURF UP-DATE**** Hi folks and thanks for dropping by the baliwaves.com for the run down on todays surfing and weather conditions here on the No.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali
Well wave height has taken another knock in size today with only 1-2ft of swell hitiing the Outer reefs here in Tuban. Well there might have been the occasional slightly bigger wave but not when I was down at the beach.
Surfing conditions have been clean and tidy all day with the wind coming outta the SE – SSE blowing pretty much off-shore on the Outer Reefs.
Tide wise today we had a 2.0mtr High @ 10.00AM and then a 0.5mtr Low around 4.00PM.
Middle Reef was really the only surfable wave between Kuta Reef and Airport Left and that was only producing waves in the waist to chest high class. There was also around 20 surfers out there trying to get some fun.
Looking for a wave today you would have found some fun little waves up along the “Half Way†Kuta stretch of beach on the higher end of the tide. Or down south on the bukit Uluwatu would have been breaking in the chest to head high plus range. Hopefully tomorrow we see a slight improvement in wave height, not much but all the same a slight improvement. We’ll be heading out somewhere tomorrow to try and find some waves and get you lot some new photos to check out at the same time. So tune in again tomorrow afternoon for the latest news live out of Bali.
Weather wise today we have had a pretty good day with plenty of blue sky and sunshine.
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.

Bali Fishing New’s ; 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 Rp6,550 – Rp6,600 depending on location. While the US$=Rp9,800 give or take 50 Rupiah.
And just a reminder that we still have some original baliwaves.com T-Shirts (AU$15.00) and FREE stickers available for ya’s here in Bali so drop me a line.
