****MORNING SURF UP-DATE****
Good morning crew and welcome back to the baliwaves for the most up to date surfing and weather information from your favourite surfing holiday destination of Bali. Todays photos are courtesy of Hendra Surf Photography down at Uluwatu.
This mornings 8.00am surf recon of the Outer Reefs was showing the slightest increase in wave height with waist to head high set waves breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. The wind was again blowing on-shore earlier coming out of the West @ 4-6knot, but around 9.00am the ESE-SE off-shore Tradewind kicked in providing clean wind between Kuta and Uluwatu. While the tide was still out this morning there wasn’t much action happening on Kuta Reef or Airport left, but Middle Reef was producing some fun sized waves in the chest to head high sector. And there looked to be a good crew out there enjoying it. Down South at Uluwatu I’m sure there’d be more size and power on the Racetrack section and then the Main Peak as the tide turns to run back in.
Tidal info for today is calling for a 0.7mtr Low @ 10.00am and then running back in for a no range 1.4mtr High around 4.00pm this afternoon.
Weather wise we had some light rain through the early AM and cloud cover through until the Tradewind kicked in. Now at 10.00AM we have a mainly blue sky and warming up for a top temperature of around 31 degree’s along the beach.
Sms surf report from the G-Land Surf Camp was saying that wave height is in the head to well over head high class with clean line’s hitting Kongs and the top end of Money Tree’s. No surfers in the water at the time of the report.
Diverse Surfboards; Dave from Diverse on Australia’s Gold Coast called me yesterday to tell me that if anyone would like a custom made Diverse delivered to them here in Bali he is currently working on a shipment to be delivered. But you need to contact Dve direct through his banner link on baliwaves.com within the next week to beat the deadline.
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$25.00 twin share. Then drop me an email but usually we do need a few weeks notice.
G-Land we are offering you a 5% discount on all standard packages and 10% on air conditioned packages at the G-Land Surf Camp.
I’d also like to give Pat and Brian from www.eventpowerandlight.com.au a huge thank you for there exceptional help for me to be able to purchase a new lap top so these reports can keep flowing. This couple of everyday Aussies not only helped me while they were in Bali but also helped a young Balinese surfer start his own life by helping him to buy his own double outrigger boat and motor becoming his own master in life. Then they backed that straight up by sponsoring another young Balinese student to help his struggling mother who was battling to keep up with his school fee’s. So if your in Australia and you need portable power and light for an event contact Pat and Brian.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Kuta you’ll find that — 1AU$=Rp8,400 — 1US$=Rp10,000 —
We are also now sending out brief random surf reports and ravings through Twitter mobile phone service so sign up today !
Alright folks that’s it for this morning but stay tuned through out the weeked as we are expecting a further increase in wave height tomorrow and into Monday and we’ll be keeping you covered all through it.
Best Regards from Bali
