****MIDDAY SURF UP-DATE****
Howdy folks and thanks for stopping back by the baliwaves again today for the latest info on surfing and weather conditions here on your No.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali. Todays photos are courtesy of Hendra Surf Photography down at Uluwatu.
This mornings surf check on the Outer reefs wasn’t looking too hot with wave height having dropped back down into the knee to chest high range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. And to make it worse the wind was coming out of the WSW @ 2-4knot and on-shore right along Bali’s West Coast. But there was still a few takers in the water on Kuta and Middle Reefs chasing waves up to chest high on the sets.
Looking for a wave this morning you would have found the best conditions on the East Coast at locations such as Nusa Dua and Keramas.
Tidal info for today is saying we had a 0.6mtr Low @ 9.00am and then she’ll be running back in for an ordinary 1.6mtr High around the 3.00pm mark.
Weather wise around this part of the island it’s overcast with cloud with a midday temperature currently sitting around the 27 degree Celsius mark.
Sms surf report from the G-Land Surf Camp was saying that wave height has also backed right off and down to head high. At the time of the report there was only one surfer in the water at Kongs.
For the surfer / fishermen who frequent these pages I have another fishing report along with some new photos ready for ya’s.
If it’s clean safe and friendly accommodation here in Tuban only 300mtrs back from the Outer Reefs, including A/C, hot water, refridgerator & TV for US$15.00 per night (single) or US$18.00 for a couple and US$25.00 twin share. Then drop me an email but usually we do need a few weeks notice.
G-Land we are offering you a 5% discount on all standard packages and 10% on air conditioned packages at the G-Land Surf Camp.
I’d also like to give Pat and Brian from www.eventpowerandlight.com.au a huge thank you for there exceptional help for me to be able to purchase a new lap top so these reports can keep flowing. This couple of everyday Aussies not only helped me while they were in Bali but also helped a young Balinese surfer start his own life by helping him to buy his own double outrigger boat and motor becoming his own master in life. Then they backed that straight up by sponsoring another young Balinese student to help his struggling mother who was battling to keep up with his school fee’s. So if your in Australia and you need portable power and light for an event contact Pat and Brian.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Kuta you’ll find that — 1AU$=Rp8,300 — 1US$=Rp9.850 —
We are also now sending out brief random surf reports and ravings through Twitter mobile phone service so sign up today !
Ok crew that’s it for todays run down, but I’m pretty sure there’s another swell in transit to us as I type, I’ll give you the goss on that next up-date.
Best Regards from Bali
Slim
