BALI / INDONESIA
2nd September 2018
Hi peeps and thanks again for stopping by the baliwaves (keeping Bali surf reports down to Earth since back in 1999) for our Sunday Session with the 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.
Ok just a quick one seeing as though it’s almost 6.30PM and been a fairly long day (don’t ask hehe). But as it shows in today’s fresh outta Bali photo gallery there was some smoking barrels down at Uluwatu’s Racetrack on the morning low tide. We turned up at 8.00AM to find maybe a dozen or so surfers in the water with wave height well over head and even still a couple of outside Racetrackers breaking. But as the tide started pushing in it was all good and pretty much tube ride after tube ride. Surfing conditions were also a lot cleaner today with the wind more SSE-SE, straight off shore on the Main Peak and Racetrack while we were on the scene.
It wasn’t until around 10.30AM that the zombies starting turning up in numbers and by 11.30AM the number of surfers in the water between Temple’s and the Racetrack was well over 100, time for us to get outta there.
I’ve thrown a few photos up that I took yesterday over at Keramas showing the huge amount of erosion that has happened here in a very short time, around the last 5yrs. It probably won;y be long and they will have to build a retaining wall to try and hold back the ocean, they tried to change the river flow and failed.
Weather wise it was a mostly hot and sunny day here on the holiday island, and it looks like we should start to get back to some more stable weather by early next week. We should also be seeing some more solid swell by the end of next week as well so make sure you stay tuned right here on the one and only original baliwaves Bali surf report.
Here’s a couple of relevant surf travel tips for Bali for at the beach.
1/ don’t bring the hard wax with you like Dr Z’s cause your board will be warm at the beach and you won’t be able to rub “hard” wax onto a warm board.
2/ beware there are sea urchins at the rocky shore line locations on both sides of the island especially Medewi on the West
3/ get a “day cover” for your board bag and use it to keep the wax on your board and off your shirt when you carry it. The sun can be brutal on surfboards left in the sun in Indo
4/ Only take enough money to the beach to get you through the session, enough for food and drink. Always ask some one to keep an eye on your things, leave your stuff in a warung if possible it should be safe there and just buy a drink and food when your done to repay the owners.
5/ put a little piece of wax in your back pocket so you can touch up your board after the first hour in the surf, keep a good grip happening.
