****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Hello surfers and thanks again for calling by the baliwaves.com to see whats been happening surf and weather here on the ever popular holiday island of Bali.
Well this mornings 7.00am surf check on the Outer reefs was showing a slight bump in wave height up into the waist to chest high range. But the wind was already blowing hard out of the W-SW @ 8-10knot. Nothing worth surfing between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. So I took a run over to the Serangan on the East Coast to see if surfing conditions were any better. There were at least 100 surfers already in the water, along with 3 “learn to surf companies”. Wave height was coming through in the waist to occassional head high class but the wind here was also cross / on-shore. I didn’t even botherĀ taking my camera out of the box I’m sorry. The waves were mainly closing out without any gusto. I received a report of similar sized waves up at Keramas also with a silly amount of surfers in the water. At least there wasn’t any surf schools there I suppose.
Tidal info for today had us down for a a 0.1mtr Low @ 7.00am and then running back in for a 2.1mtr High @ 1.pm.
Weather wise it’s been another hot and sunny one here in Bali. Temperature wise the mercury would have easily made it to 33 degree’s Celsius.
The traffic around Bali has been horrendous to say the least over the New Year holiday but things should be getting back to normal over the next week with the Indonesian school holidays finishing on the 4th.
Swell out look for the next week is showing we should see a small pulse that will add another foot of wave height on Monday that will hold through Tuesday before starting to fade on Wednesday. The further out on Sunday another slightly bigger swell should start to show on the beachs and reefs around Bali.
If it’s clean safe and friendly accommodation here at Home Base in Tuban only 300mtrs back from the Outer Reefs, including A/C, hot water, refridgerator & TV for US$16.00 (Rp160,000) per night (single) or US$19.00 (Rp190,000) for a couple and US$26.00 (Rp260,000) twin share. Then contact slim.
