****MORNING SURF UP-DATE**** Good morning surfers and thanks for stopping by the baliwaves.com to find out the latest surfing and weather info on your favourite surfing holiday island of Bali.
First of all we did make the run over to Serangan on the East Coast yesterday afternoon. And as you can see in these first 5 photos surfing conditions were not the best with the wind coming out of the SSW @ 5-10knot. But at least there was still some 2 footers breaking for the crew that just had to get in the water for a paddle. There was also a few interesting sights along the beach as well.
Today the 16th and my 6.45Am surf check on the Outer reefs here in Tuban was showing 1-2ft of purely wind driven swell breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. With the driving force coming out of the SSW @ 6-10knot and pretty much on-shore at all surfing locations around Bali.
Tide wise today our first was a 0.1mtr Low @ 7.00Am and then we will get a 1.9mtr High @ 1.00Pm then finish off with another Low of 0.7mtrs around sunset time.
Weather wise today , no rain fell through the night but once again we have another overcast and humid start to the day. Probaly heading for a maximum temperature of around 28-29 degree’s Celsius.
Looking for a wave today , good luck !!!!
Swell Forecast ; Hmmm, well we have definitely been through a tough period swell wise over the last 3 weeks or so and still not much relief in sight. All the charts are showing for wave height to get even smaller over this week then hopefully a small pulse should come through around next Friday / Saturday putting wave height back into the 2-3ft+ range.
The good guys from the Macaroni Surf Resort up in the Mentawai Islands have also sent us through an “end of season” wrap up and included some super special deals for anyone wanting to get in early and book for the coming 2009 season. So check that out on the Macaroni Report under Surf Reports.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Kuta you will find that 1AU$=Rp7,175 – 1US$=Rp10,950 give or take 100 Rupiah.
