****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Hello surfers and thanks for dropping by the baliwaves.com for the no nonsense run down on todays surfing and weather conditions from here on your holiday island of choice, Bali.
Well this mornings surf check on the Outer Reefs of Tuban was not showing anything at all breaking bretween Kuta Reef and Airport Left. Well not anything a man weighing more than 60kgs could surf anyway, But once again perfect conditons out with hardly a breath of wind before it swung to the ESE and off-shore between Kuta and Uluwatu. The best chance for a wave (all be it small) would be up along the beach breaks around Padma st in legian with the local grommets.
Our dialy sms surf report from the G-Land Surf Camp also reassured me of the micro conditions calling wave height at G-land to be showing in the waist to waist high plus range, 2 feet at best. So if it’s that small at G-Land there’s not going to be anything bigger anywhere else that’s a certainty !
Tidal info for today was calling for a 0.5mtr Low @ 6.00am and then filling back in for a 2.6mtr High at 12 noon and rendering the ocean totally flat.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Kuta you’ll find that; — 1US$=Rp10,700 — 1AU$=Rp7,600 — 1EU$=Rp14,150 —
Swell Forecast; The forecasters are calling for more small waves in the 1-2ft range again Tuesday and into Wednesday before a new swell starts to show later in the day come Thursday. This one should slowly build through Friday peaking in the double head high class on Saturday. Hopefully holding through Sunday before backing off on Monday next.
Ok crew that’s us for today and as ya’s can see I’ve loaded up a few wipeouts photos I took down at Uluwatu on Saturday. And I do want to refresh the less experienced surfers planning on tackling Uluwatu that people do get hurt out there. “The sea has no respect for technology, only technique” I’ve also included some water shots that Scotto took out at Middle Reef on the same day. Plus I finally remembered to load the new batch of bodyboarding photos onto their respective page…
I’d also just like to mention that the Dewi Sri “live seafood” restaurant here in Tuban is once again under the control of the original owner and back to serving up the most freshest seafood in Bali. If you want to give it a try tell em baliwaves.com sent ya down to sample a free plate of their live prawns.
Ok lets hope our next swells arrival is ahead of schedule, I’ll let ya’s know again tomorrow. And don’t forget Kim “Fly” Bradley’s full Balinese cremation ceremony will be held down along Kuta Beach tomorrow. These cremation’s usually take place between 1-3pm.
Regards
Slim
