****AFTERNOON SURF UP DATE****
Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by the baliwaves (’99) for today’s look at surfing and weather conditions from here on the No.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali.
Well this morning we were hoping for a little better size, so we hung around for as long as we could to give Huey every chance of coming through. Our destination as you already know (after looking at these current photos) was Keramas. Arriving just after 8.00Am to see a pretty disappointing 1-2ft wave breaking out the front of the car park (first view). But we decided to hang around and have a cuppa tea and see if anything was going to happen.
Not long after and we soon had some head high sets starting to show. But that’s about all she wrote. Surfing conditions were clean and tidy through until around 10.00AM before the wind shifted from the NW around to the WSW and steadily increased in strength. We hung out for a cold drink to see if it was going to clean up again, as it sometimes does, but not today.
Tidal info for today had us down for a 0.3mtr Low @ 5.00AM and then filling back in with a 2.6mtr High which also didn’t help.
Weather wise the day started off with some heavy rain which let up for a light drizzle. But there is some blue sky showing now at 3.45AM.
Travel Tip; The other day I mentioned how it was important to be the holder of an International drivers license if you were going to be driving yourself around Bali. Well thanks to one of our long time readers, Levi Snowy. Here is some news that I wasn’t aware of, so I’m sure none of you are either.
“gday Slim , not sure if your aware, and no – one tells you in OZ , but international
drivers licences need to be endorsed by the local police in Indo to be legal .
Almost all street cops are unaware of this, but its actually not legal without it
(the indonesian Police endorsement stamp), and it may implicate someone legally
incase of an accident or medivac insurance claim ( in a bad way ) if the endorsement
wasnt done.
All thats required is the licence is to be presented to any police station, where a
RP15,000 admin fee is paid and they will put the endorsement stamp on the front of
the international licence for you .
Better to be safe than sorry if shit was to happen.”
