Kuta Reef to Uluwatu, 10th Oct ’09

10th Oct 09
****MIDDAY SURF UP-DATE****
Once again welcome back to your baliwaves for today’s lowdown on surfing and weather conditions here in Bali. Thanks to Hendra Surf Photography down at Uluwatu for these latest photos.

I was up with the sparrows this morning and down on the beach at 6.30AM for the surf check on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban. Yesterday afternoon wave height was definitly on the march, and this morning wave height is holding in the 3-5ft range between Kuta Reef and Airport left (head to double head high). Middle Reef was pumping through 5 footers while the tide was still out, with only a dozen surfers in the water. As the tide started to push back in Kuta Reef and Airport left were also delivering some nice waves in the chest to head high plus class. But as usual KR and AL had no shortage of players with numbers in the 30+ sector.

Surfing conditions were and still are perfect with the wind coming out of the ESE @ 7-10knot.

Tidal info for today had a 0.4mtr low @ 8.00AM and then running back up for a 1.7mtr High around 2.00PM.

Weather wise; Perfect, heading for a top temperature of around 32 degree’s Celsius.

Sms surf report from the G-Land Surf Camp was calling wave height in the solid 6ft+ sector and a top day coming on for the lucky ones still over at G-land.

Bruce Hansel, I only just heard the news today 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.
