****MORNING SURF UP-DATE****
Hello surfers and thanks for dropping into the baliwaves again for the latest news on surfing and weather conditions from here on the holiday island of Bali. Thanks to Hendra Surf Photography down at Uluwatu for todays photos.
My 8.30am surf check on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban was showing the signs of a new swell starting to develop. Slightly bigger out there this morning with wave height in the waist to head high plus range between Kuta Reef and Airport left. The tide was still on the bottom of the Low so the only section surfable was Middle Reef. There looked to be at least 15 surfers already in the line-up with wave height a semi consistent chest to head high with the occasional bigger freaky. There’s every chance that Kuta Reef and Airport Left will have a few waves as the tide starts to fill back in.
Surfing conditions were perfect with the wind coming out of the ESE-SE @ 6-10knot, straight off-shore between Kuta and Uluwatu. Wind strength will more than likely increase through out the day and possibly tend a little more to the SE.
Tidal info for today is saying we had a 0.3mtr Low @ 7.00am and then running back in for a 2.2mtr High @ 1.00pm.
Weather wise it’s all good with blue sky and sunshine. Heading for maximum temperature of around 32 degree’s Celsius.
Sms surf report from the G-Land Surf Camp was saying that there’s no shortage of waves at G-land this morning. Wave height has crept back up into the double head high class and lining up nicely on Kong’s, Money Tree’s down through the Launching Pad. At the time of the report there was a total of 4 surfers riding Money Tree’s.
For the surfer / fishermen who frequent these pages I’ll have another fishing report along with some new photos ready for ya’s shortly.
hey slim, not sure if you remeber me but me and my friend robbie stayed with you for a month 4 years ago (we were about 18 at the time), we then stayed again for another 3 weeks the following year (also with my dad and sister). anyway, these days im a cameraman, not much going on at the moment and i was wandering if i could come over to bali, crash at your place in tuban and spend 4 weeks filming surfing for your surf report? i could also get photos. let me know what you think of the idea 🙂 cheers, george
