****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Howdy crew and thanks for hanging around for the latest info and photos to come out of Bali. What have we got for ya’s today. We have a shit load of photos on our Bali report. Scott has handed over around 25 photos from Canggu, and I even managed to drop another handful of bodyboard photos on their page.
This mornings surf check on the Outer reefs was showing some solid waves breaking in the 3-5ft+ sector between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. And with the tide running in for a New Moon 2.5mtr High everything was looking real good. Surfing conditions were also pristine with the aid of a clean off-shore ESE-SE Tradewind that steadily gained momentum through out the day.
Down at Uluwatu today as you can see in these photos that Hendra Surf Photography has once again supplied us wave height was more like a solid 5-6ft+ down on the Main Peak and Temple sections. But funnily enough as the tide started to run out for an expected 0.2mtr low for 5.00pm wave height seemed to back right off again. But tomorrow if the sell prediction guys have got it together we should see a very solid swell hitting the reefs of Bali.
Our daily sms surf report from the G-land Surf Camp was calling more moderate solid 5-6ft+ waves hitting the top of Money Tree’s and through to the launching Pad. Only 4 surfers in the water on Money Tree’s and a couple more making their way out at 7.30am.
Weather wise today it’s been a mainly sunny day with some cloud from time to time with a top temperature of around 30 degree’s. With the water temperature a tepid 24 degree’s celsius.
