****MORNING SURF UP-DATE****
Hello crew thanks for stopping in for the baliwaves.com Sunday Session. And another thanks to our friends at Hendra Surf Photography down at Uluwatu for these latest photos.
A bit of a wet start this morning here in Tuban but I was down for the surf check of the Outer Reefs as soon as she let up. There were some nice and consistent lines hitting Middle Reef in the head to almost double head high range. The swell direction appears to be varying more SW so Kuta Reef is going to be good on the incoming tide, should be chest to head high plus. Airport Left had a little longer wait for the set waves and will also have a few on the incoming. All in all it’s shaping up for another good day of perfect waves at most locations.
Surfing conditions were clean with the wind coming out of the East @ 4-7knot, light off-shore wind between Kuta and Uluwatu. But with a big chance of it increasing in strength through out the day.
Tidal info was saying we had a 0.5mtr Low at 9.00AM before a 1.6mtr High @ 3.00PM.
Weather wise we did have a few drops of rain through the early hours. Now at 9.45Am there’s still the chance of another drop or two of rain, but with the odd patch of blue sky.
Sms surf report from the G-Land Surf Camp was saying that wave height is coming through in the solid 6ft (double head high plus) class. Slightly more West in the swell direction so Moneytree’s was going to be good when the tide starts to run back in. No surfers in the water @ 9.00AM.
Swell Forecast; Ok so we’ve got plenty of waves for today Sunday. Monday and things shouldn’t change too much before another new swell rides in over the old on Tuesday. More surf through Wednesday before it starts to fade on Thursday. Hopefully there’s something a little bit further out, but…
Bruce Hansel, I only just heard the news that Bruce has just under gone some heart surgery from an attack he suffered earlier in the week here in Bali. Bruce is ok but he is struggling to pay for the operation and therapy. So if you know Bruce from down at Uluwatu and can offer any help, please do.
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 (Rp150,000) per night (single) or US$18.00 (Rp180,000) for a couple and US$25.00 (Rp250,000) twin share. Then drop me an email but usually we do need a few weeks notice.
