****AFTERNOON SURF UPDATE****
Hello surfers and welcome to the weekend here on baliwaves.com (Bali’s first surfing website since 1999) for today’s news on surfing and weather conditions live from the World’s No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination of BALI.
A very special Happy Birthday to my youngest child, Made Amanda who turned 2 yrs old today !!!
I was up early this morning and down on the beach taking in a surf recon of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban. Quite a significant drop in size today as predicted by the Indian Ocean specialists at stormsurf.com. Although at 6.45Am there was still some nice sized head to well over head set waves peeling off perfectly on Middle Reef. Not just Middle Reef either if you opened your eye’s. The tide was still too low for Kuta Reef and Airport Left but they woulda had a few smallies when the tide started running back in.
Once again the Easterly off shore wind was also up early and already cranking up into the 15knot+ range at the time, making surfing conditions a little bumpy on the Outer Reefs.
The next tide today is going to be a 1.5mtr High at 4.24PM
Weather wise it was another grey and gloomy start to the day but by mid morning it was mainly blue sky and sunshine. Right now at 3.30PM the outside temperature is a very warm 28 degree’s Celsius, with the humidity on 66%. Wind direction is now SE at 35km’s.
Hopefully this wind will settle down next week and again open up a lot more locations for us.
Dave from over at the G-Land Surf Camp has sent us through another surf report and photo gallery and you can find those already loaded into our G-Land Report page. The boys at ESP (Ego Surf Photography) have also dropped us off another 100+ photos that they shot down at Bingin. It’s a sik collection featuring some solid Bingin (probably as big as it can handle) and as soon as we get them edited they’ll be found on our Readers Report page.
Motorcycle’s, It certainly is the silly season here in Bali when it comes to my pet hate, which is totally un skilled motorcyclists in Bali. Let’s face it there’s enough maniac riders and drivers here in Bali as it is without westerners trying to ride / drive the same way. No helmets, shoes or shirts screaming and weaving down the highway. One minute feeling really cool the next minute your waiting for an ambulance to save your life. Don’t do it ! just because your on holidays try and keep using your brain and common sense.
For any of you that just want nothing more than a hassle free, get up and go surf perfect waves every morning (pending Huey), see and do what the hotel / resort sect don’t. Well we have some new surfing / accommodation packages that will have you at the right location at the right time everyday. All deals include your own photographer at no extra cost. Hit this info link to find out more. Limited space, so get in early or you’ll be doing it the hard way.
We also have a few “Home Stay” type rooms available for any of our viewers looking for some clean and tidy accommodation here in Tuban. all rooms are air conditioned, including breakfast for Rp225,000 per night, or Rp275,000 for couples. Plus 1 room that’s fan cooled for Rp150,00 per night. Surfers need to apply, party animals head for Kuta.
Feel free to contact us via email about your next trip to Bali and we might just be able to help make it run a little smoother for you.
Best Regards from Bali
