Back East to Serangan, 15th March 2011

15th March 2011

****AFTERNOON SURF UP DATE****
Hello my fine friends in surfing and thanks a million for stopping by the old baliwaves.com (’99) for the latest and most in depth news on surfing and weather conditions from here on our first choice surfing holiday destination of Bali.

I think I mentioned in yesterdays news that we might be good for one more day out of this semi solid swell. And as you’ve already seen in todays photos I snapped off old Huey came through. We turned up at Serangan around 8.00AM to see some nice and straight lines in the head to double head high plus sector. Clean off-shore wind out of the West and only around 10 surfers in the water riding the right handers.

There were also half a dozen over on the left hand pipe and a few more riders waiting for the left handers breaking through the middle. Very consistent waves over at Serangan this morning and my crew were totally stoked to be out in near perfect waves (for Bali anyway). Some time around 10.00Am there was a pretty much non stop stream of surfers arriving but we had our fill by then and left the scene. But the wind was still clean off shore and the waves were still pumping through.

Tomorrows another day with different conditions so make sure you drop in here again if you want to know what’s really going on in Bali.

Tidal info for today had us down for a 1.4mtr High @ 7.00AM and then only just barely moving out for a 1.2mtr Low @ 12.30PM.

Weather wise it’s been absolutely brilliant today. Clear blue sky and non stop sunshine, temperature wise we easily busted into the low 30’s on the Celsius scale. To me, I’d be thinking that it ain’t going to be long and we’ll be back surfing on Bali’s premier West Coast, bring it on.

Changing dollars to Rupiah on the streets of Kuta you’ll find that — 1AU$=Rp8,850 — 1US$=Rp8,770 — rates will vary from vendor to vendor of course.

Good news for any of you that want to get over to the legendary location of G-Land this year as baliwaves.com will still be dishing out a solid 15% discount off their advertised prices for the G-Land Surf Camp. All camps at G-Land will be re opening in March 2011 so if you want some un crowded G-Land get in early. Make sure you contact us first if you want that 15% rebate back in your pocket.

Night club danger; New’s came through to me of an Australian having the shit kicked out of him by no less than 6 security staff in a Kuta night club on Friday night. Apparantly the English owners of the bar gave the order to the security staff…. Caruso’s, Cruso’s, (some name like that anyway) Bar in Kuta.
