****EVENING SURF UP-DATE**** Hi crew and I thought I’d better bring ya’s up to date with whats been happening surf and weather wise here on your happy little holiday island of Bali today.
Well not a great deal surf wise but all the same there was still plenty of options here along the West Coast for a paddle today. I took my first surf check of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban around 7.30AM. Wave height was only showing in the waist to chest high region between Kuta Reef and Airport Left, with Middle Reef being the best option to find a little something.
Surfing conditons were clean and tidy at the time with the wind coming outta the East @ 4-6knot. Then around 10.00AM it started to shift to all points of the compass before settling back into the off-shore ESE around 3.30PM
Looking for a wave today the best options along the West Coast were at Middle Reef through the early AM. Then as the tide started to push in for the midday high places like the numerous beach breaks up along the Kuta Half Way stretch, Balangan and Uluwatu were picking up more swell.
We are expecting a slight increase in wave height tomorrow and hopefully there’ll be enough to motivate me into shooting some new photos for you. Actually wave height is just going to be yo-yo’ing up and down over the coming week between the 2-4ft range.
Weather wise today it’s been a perfect beach day with plenty of blue sky and a hot hot hot midday temperature.
Travel Warning Dept ; So at long last it’s getting closer to the execusion of the terrorists responsible for the 2002 bombing of the Legian night clubs. And I’ve been getting a lot of email from Australians wanting to know if it is safe in Bali. Bali will always be just Bali, a holiday island in the tropics with fantastic local people to look after their guests. If your thinking about coming over for a surfing holiday but are concerned (re- travel warnings) I wouldn’t worry too much. I also emphasise the I. But if you were wanting to come over and party in the night clubs I would think twice. You can get just as drunk in your local night clubs etc at home. For the surfers who do come over you can guarantee that their will be less crowds in the water to deal with that’s for sure. And just to some it up, are we really 100% safe from terrorists anywhere ?
