****MORNING SURF UP-DATE****
Hello surfers and welcome back to your baliwaves.com, your eye’s on surfing and weather conditions here on the No.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali. Another big thanks to Hendra and his Team of photographers for these latest photos taken down at Uluwatu.
This mornings 6.30am surf recon of the Outer Reefs of Tuban wasn’t looking too promising for surfing today. Wave height has take a crash dive down to a very basic 1-1ft+ between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. But all the same there were still some surfers in the water on Airport left. If you just had to go for a surf today anyway the best place to look for a wave is going to be down on the southern end of the island at Uluwatu. And this morning it’s another no wind start to the day so you could also take a look at Nuse Dua for a right hander or two.
Surfing conditions on the Outer Reefs this morning were clean and glassy with the wind coming lightly out of the North at 1-2 knot.
Tidal info for today is saying we’ll have a 2.2mtr High @ 8.00am and then running out for a 0.4mtr Low around 4.00pm.
Weather wise; We’ve had some heavy rain to start off the morning and right now @ 8.00am the sky is still pretty grey with the chance of another drop or two yet to come. All the same we’ll still be heading for a top temperature of around 29-30 degree’s Celsius.
Swell Forecast; Ok here’s my interpretation of whats going to be happening surf wise over the next week. Today (Saturday) see’s wave height holding in the 2-4ft+ range around Bali and slightly bigger on East Java (G-Land). Sunday we may get a small pulse as the tide starts to push back in through the afternoon but basicall still the smae size as today. Tuesday morning and wave height is dropping off back into the 1-3ft range depending on location. Then while everyone is sleeping on Tuesday night there’s be a very solid system moving onto our reef breaks with huge waves for Wednesday morning (Padang Padang). Thursday and wave height is still pretty big through the early morning before fading out ast through the rest of the day. Then Saturday see’s wave height back down in the 2-4ft range depending on location. Further out there is another smaller system moving in but a bit far out to be certain of size and period.
And don’t forget to drop me a line if your looking for some surfer friendly accommodation here in Tuban / Bali (the quiter end of town). Right here at Home Base we have single rooms for US$15.00, US$18.00 for couple’s & US$25.00 for a twin share room. All rooms have Air conditioning, hot and cold water, tv, refridgerator and large private bathroom. 300mtrs back from the beach in fron of the Outer reefs here in Tuban.
G-land; Ok the 10% discount for the early bookings into the G-Land Surf Camp has finished but I’ve spoken with the boss and he’s still prepared to give anyone who mentions baliwaves.com a 5% discount on standard, twin share and fan bungalows and a 10% discount on their air conditioned bungalows. Just mention baliwaves.com at their office and you’ll get money back in your pocket.
Ok crew there’s not much else to say except that I’ve loaded another batch of photos up for the bodyboarder’s. The Kandui Surf Resort up in the Mentawai islands has also sent us a few more photos and another report. Plus I should have another round of photos coming in from the G-Land Surf Camp later this evening for ya’s.
