****End of the Day Surf Up-Date****
Hi crew and thanks for dropping into the baliwaves.com for the final word on todays surfing and weather conditions here on the happy little holiday island of Bali. And thanks to Hendra and his Team of photographers for these latest photos taken down at Uluwatu.
Yeah a bit of a late one today but I’ve only just got back to Home Base after a big day out on the water chasing Tuna and Trevally. We put the boat (traditional double outrigger style) in the water around 9.00am this morning and motored out and around Kuta Reef where wave height was a consistent but small 1-2ft+ with around a dozen surfers in the line up. Going past Middle Reef wave height was slightly bigger, more like in the waist to head high class. While Airport Left was also in the waist to chest high range on the sets. Heading South past balangan there would have at least been 25+ surfers in the water with wave height around 2-2ft+. There wasn’t much breaking on Bingin at the time as the tide was still a bit too high. Likewise at Impossible’s and flat at Padang Padang. Further down the line at Uluwatu there was a solid crowd in the water with wave height in the 2-4ft range.
Surfing conditions through the morning were clean and glassy with the wind blowing light on-shore out of the NW. It wasn’t until around late morning that the ESE-SE Tradewind kicked in with clean off-shore wind between Kuta and Uluwatu.
Weather wise we were off to a mainly cloudy start through the morning but my midday nothing but blue sky and sunshine along the beach.
Our daily sms from the good guys over at the G-land Surf Camp was calling more perfect waves at G-land with wave height in the 3-5ft range peeling down the reef from Money Tree’s.
