****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Howdy folks and thanks for dropping by the baliwaves for the very latest news on todays waves and weather here on the No.1 tropical surfing holiday island destination of Bali.
Plans were changed this morning and our road trip has been put on hold until tomorrow. So we did a surf check on the Outer reefs of Tuban to find a playful 2-3ft of swell breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. At the time the tide was rolling in fast so the boys chose to try their luck out on Airport Left. Kuta Reef did have a few 1-2ft+ perfect little waves peeling off but it woulda been to full as the tide topped out.
Airport Left looked like it was breaking fairly consistant from the shore so we jumped a reef taxi and hit it. The average wave was breaking in the waist to chest high range, but there was also plenty of head high set waves every 5 minutes or so. Crowd wise it was just our crew and around 18 Japanese (the Japanese holiday season has kicked in : ), plus 2-3 local Airport boys. There was also another 5 surfers sitting over at Middle’s but it was definitley the wrong end of the tide for Middle Reef.
Tidal info for today had us down with another 0.1mtr reef exposing Low @ 6.00am and then following up with a tall 2.5mtr High around 12.noon.
Weather wise it’s been a perfect day of sunshine and blue sky for the lucky buggers here on holidays. Temperature wise the mercury would have peaked at 34 degree’s Celsius and the water temp a pleasant 24 degree’s Celsius.
Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Kuta you’ll find — 1US$=Rp9,230 — 1AU$8,310 — Rates will vary from vendor to vendor of course.
