BALI / INDONESIA
1st – 2nd August 2015
Hello everyone and thanks again for dropping into the baliwaves (delivering the goods since back in 1999) for the start of another surf week and our latest news with the best views on surfing and weather conditions from right here on the best value for tropical surfing holiday dollar destination of Bali.
Well it just hasn’t stopped here in Bali with non stop waves the last couple of days. Today we’ got another massive 160+ photos to help you mind surf through your day and get get amped up for your next Indo surfing holiday. The first section of these new photos was shot down at Uluwatu on the 1st and I have to admit Uluwatu has been producing the goods with some perfect hollow tube rides over the last week. The second section of the gallery was shot up the coast a little ways from here at Canggu. Canggu has also been dishing out some nice waves as well. But check em all out anyway and you’ll have to agree the surf has been pumping here in Bali. I’ve also thrown in a handful of frames from the baliwaves free to view Web Cam that over looks the line up at Impossible’s.
Down at Uluwatu. Wave height at Ulu was at first a consistent 3-5ft then as the tide filled in I’d have to say it was more like 4-6ft+ from Temple’s to the Main Peak.
Yesterday the 2nd and our first surf check (6.45am) on the Outer reefs had wave height pegged in the 2-3ft range. Clean and glassy surfing conditions with an in coming tide.
So Ketut took a run up the coast (through the traffic) to Canggu to see what was happening wave wise. As it also shows in the photos Canggu had some perfect waves in the 2-4ft range on all 3 of the main sections from Echo to the River mouth and Sand bar in between. Surfing conditions were perfect through the morning with rising tide and a light off shore wind. It was a pity there was solid cloud cover and even some rain or otherwise the photos would have been a lot brighter.
We also loaded ya’s up another 60 or so strong photo gallery from our friends at ESP who were good enough to share their photos with us. You can find these guys shooting photos right in front of the action on Bingin Beach.
Weather wise over the weekend we had mostly cloudy and overcast mornings here on the Southern end of the island, with warm to hot midday and afternoons. Light and variable wind through the morning with our Trade wind starting up around the 8.45AM mark.
Today the 3rd and it’s just starting to dawn here at 6.00AM. There looks to be some dark cloud moving in from the SE and I’m sure it has rained somewhere in Bali this morning. The SE Trade wind is already starting to produce the off shore wind, so the scene is set.
The next tide today will be a 2.5 High around 11.30AM
