BALI
23rd July 2014
Hi surfers and thanks for checking out the baliwaves again today (Bali’s original surf report website since 1999) for the latest news and best views on surfing and weather conditions from here on the only sane choice for your next hard earned tropical surfing holiday, Bali.
Yesterday mornings 6.30AM surf recon on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban was showing wave height in the 2-3ft range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. Maybe a slightly bigger freak set hitting Middle Reef. Surfing conditions were clean and tidy with the wind light out of the SE and plenty of surfers already in the water.
But as it shows in our current photo gallery we made the run down to Uluwatu, and as ya can see there were a few solid set waves hitting the Main Peak. Surfing conditions down there were also clean and tidy with the SE off shore Trade wind. As the tide started moving out the bigger set waves were getting more consistent. Crowd wise it was a normal day at Uluwatu with around 60 surfers spread from Temple’s down through to the top of the Racetrack.
My guests and I also hit Kuta last night for some Mexican food and walking it off on the way back home I snapped a few photos from Jalan Legian around 9.00PM.
Coming home past Padang Padang and Impossible’s there wasn’t a hell of a lot happening with just a few 1-3 footers rolling through Impossible’s and a few smaller one’s at Padang Padang.
Weather wise it wasn’t a bad day at all with a mainly blue sky all day.
This morning the 24th and our surf check on the Outer Reefs was looking pretty much like a carbon copy of yesterday with those 2-3 footers breaking from Kuta Reef to Airports with a light off shore SE’r blowing. So there’s a lot of wave options happening out there this morning with the tide just passing through the top now at 8.45AM.
Weather wise we had some more early morning rain fall and now at 8.45AM there’s still a lot of cloud here in Tuban and looking to the South I’d say there’s rain falling down towards the bukit end of the island. Temperature wise the mercury is sitting on 24 degree’s Celsius, Humidity level is at 89%. Wind direction is SE at 3-6knot.
Swell predictions are looking good for lots of swell hitting Bali over the coming week. Nothing huge but some really consistent medium (for Bali) sized waves. I’d say a lot of you don’t know it but Slim worked pretty close with the late Sean Collins from Surfline helping to calibrate their LOLA swell forecast tool for Indonesia back in early 2000 or there abouts.
Today I’m sorry but Ketut and Slim are heading up into the Bedugal mountains to seek out a traditional healer to try and get Slim’s shoulder fixed up. My AC joint has been giving me hell, especially when paddling. So we won’t have a full report coming to you later today. But we will have something in the way of photos so keep your eye’s on our “Recent Post” section on the baliwaves.
Ok Have a good one and catch ya’s again soon.
