BALI / INDONESIA
30th – 31st August 2018
Hi folks and thanks again for dropping into the baliwaves (trying to bring you a little bit of Bali to you where ever you might happen to be for since 1999) for our latest news and best possible views on surfing and weather conditions. From right here on the No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination and gateway to Indonesia’s surfing paradise, Bali.
Well yesterday the 30th and wave height was looking pretty small around this part of the island. Our 7.00AM surf check on the Outer Reefs of Tuban was only showing 1-2 footers breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport left. So yesterday we just sent out our standard morning Twitter surf and weather up date.
This morning the 31st and I knew our predicted new swell was going to be showing here on the West side of the island. But I also had my doubts about the wind this morning. So I um’d and r’d whether or not to take a run down to Uluwatu and maybe shoot a few Racetrack waves while the tide was out. As it shows in our little photo gallery this afternoon it probably wasn’t worth the run down to the Southern end of the island but I guess someone has to do it for you guys right. I was just lucky that there were a few shredders in the water having a solid dig in the very trying conditions. There was a few waves on the top end of the Racetrack and even a few people sitting wide riding “Outside Racetrack or as it’s more fondly known as “Baby Corner”
Both options were not lining up real good, the wind had a lot of South in it with the swell from just West of South making for a very strong sweep and lots of paddling.
I saw a few valorous attempts at late take offs this morning, you know the sort, just spin around and slide into it without any paddle. Well I’ve known for a long long time that you just can’t get away with it here in Indo on our fast moving waves. Well you can at some locations but no chance at places like Uluwatu or G-Land or any of the waves that offer a barreling take off. It usually always results in you getting pitched over with the lip, then a broken leggy or a broken board or maybe even both or worse. Don’t go there, use some paddle power or if your too late call someone else in that’s in a better position on that wave.
Weather wise there was some cloud mixed in with sunny patches this morning and still a lot like that now at 4.20PM. The wind has still got that SSE feel to it looking out my window.
Changing dollars top Rupiah on the streets of Bali, –1US$=Rp14,600 –1AU$=Rp10,650 –1EU$=Rp17,100
Ok tomorrow we should see more solid waves so lets hope the wind plays ball and everyone gets a barrel or two.
One other thing, you know Uluwatu is in trouble when all you here are European languages all morning. Too many restaurants all boasting to have the best espresso and there are blue taxi’s cruising at 10kph bimping there horns at every tourist on foot. Come on Aussie
