The Drifter @ Uluwatu, 28th August 2012

28th August 2012
****AFTERNOON SURF UP DATE****
Hello again surfers and welcome back to the baliwaves.com (Bali’s first surfing website, since 1999) for today’s news on surfing and weather conditions from here on the with out a doubt best value for tropical surfing holiday destination of BALI.

This morning started out pretty much the same as the last few, cloudy and overcast with the SE off shore Trade wind already kicked in early. As it shows in today’s photo gallery the boys and I were down at Bali’s premier surfing location of Uluwatu. Arriving at 7.30AM to find clean waves peeling down the Racetrack section in the chest to head high plus sector. And to tell you the truth conditions only kept getting better and better as the tide continued dropping. A little bit crowded at times with the peak hitting 65 surfers in the water from the Main Peak down through the Racetrack. We were even lucky enough to have “the drifter” himself out there putting on very cool display of tube riding.

Driving home past Padang Padang and Impossible’s there wasn’t a lot of wave action happening, nothing at breaking on PP. And after a quick look at the baliwaves.com surf cam there are a few surfers in the water further down the reef on Impossible’s.

The next tide today will be a 2.0mtr High at 8.33PM

Weather wise today there was some cloud about just after dawn but since then it’s been pretty much just another hot and sunny day here on the holiday island of Bali. Currently right now at 4.00PM the outside temperature is sitting on 29 degree’s Celsius with the humidity level at 66%. Wind direction is coming out of the SE at 22km’s.

Ok that’s a wrap on Bali today but I’ll also have those G-Land and Mentawai reports on line after dinner tonight. Have a good one and Selamat Hari Raya Galungan to all our Balinese friends for tomorrow.
