Hello surfers and welcome back to the baliwaves.com for another no nonsense look at todays surfing and weather conditions here on the holiday island of Bali.
First up this mornings surf recon of the Outer Reefs of Tuban was showing wave height in the 1-2ft range (so much for the swell forecasters) and the wind blowing fairly strong out of the West @ 6-10knot. So you’d have to be pretty desperate to surf anything between Kuta and Uluwatu today. But maybe up at Balian it would be a different story ?
So I loaded up the 1000mm lens and D300 and headed for Serangan, at this stage I still had faith in the swell forecaster and was hoping the swell was up on the East Coast. Nope, wave height at Serangan was lucky to be pushing the shoulder high range on the set waves. But the wind was blowing clean off-shore from the West. Photo wise I thought I did pretty well considering there was least 100 surfers in the water and not much wave sense or surf etiquette between them. Well I know for sure I got the money shot with photo No.5 !!
Tide wise today we had a 1.3mtr High @ 7.00Am and then hardly any difference with the 1.1mtr Low around 1.00Pm.
Weather wise today it’s been partly sunny and partly cloudy with the temperature topping out around the 30 degree Celsius mark.
G-Land Surf Camp up-date; I was talking to the owners of the G-Land Surf Camp yesterday afternoon and they have assured me that they have been given the go ahead from the Indonesian dept of National Parks to open their doors through the middle of next month. So if any of you guys and girls want to get over to G-Land with out any crowds drop us a line and we’ll put you down for the 10% discount available through till the end of April.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Tuban you’ll find that 1AU$=Rp7,475 and 1US$=Rp11,450 give or take 100Rupiah depending on vender.
Don’t forget you can drop us an email through the “Contact” link if you have any questions that might help your next vist to the holiday island run a bit smoother. But also remember if your sending me an email from a public office address my reply will more than likely be blocked, so take that into consideration !!!!!!
