****MORNING SURF UP-DATE****
Good morning to all you surfers tuning into the baliwaves.com for the latest news on todays surfing and weather conditions from here on the ever friendly holiday island of Bali. And we can all thank Hendra and his photographic Team for these latest images from Uluwatu.
This mornings 7.45am surf check of the Outer Reefs here in the laid back surfing suburb of Tuban was once again showing minimal surf. Wave height is down to the 1-2ft range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. But there were still around 20 surfers in the water on Airport Left and another handful surfing at Middle Reef. As I mentioned yesterday with no wind through the early AM I had some reports of decent waves at Nusa Dua,Serangan and Keramas before the Tradewind kicked in. But this morning the ESE-SE off-shore Tradey kicked off just after sun rise.
Surfing conditions here along Bali’s West Coast are clean and tidy between Kuta and Uluwatu.
Looking for a wave today the best option is going to be down on the southern end of the island at Uluwatu where you can expect to find wave height breaking in the waist to head high region.
Tidal info; the next tide is going to be a 2.3mtr High @ 9.00am and then she’ll be emptying out for a 0.3 mtr Low around 3.30pm. Today also see’s the New Moon rising tonight so we are going to be seeing some big tidal ranges over the following 3-4 days. Just in time for our new swell !
Weather wise today we are off to another cloudy and grey start and there’s already been a few drops of rain. Heading for a top temperature of around 29-31 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.
No news in from G-land, but we have had reports from the Kandui and Macaroni Resorts and you’ll find there reports and photos on their respective surf report pages. And I have to admit that after looking at the photos from Macaroni’s the surf has been cranking up their way !
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 have a good one and get ready to see some solid surf happening here in bali over the next couple of days right here on the one and only original Bali surf report (since ’99)
Cheers
