BALI / INDONESIA
7th – 8th April 2019
Hello surfers and thanks for dropping into the baliwaves (the original Bali surf report website since back in 1999) for our latest news and best possible views on surfing and weather conditions here on the island of the Gods, and the No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination and gateway to Indonesia’s surfing paradise, Bali.
Right so just a quick up date this arvo but anyway.. yesterday the 7th and we were on yet another Bali surfing road trip in search of perfect waves and as always, less people in the water. As it turned out we didn’t do too bad at all with some nice and long left handers peeling off for around 150mtrs with a friendly and mellow bunch of local surfers. In today’s photo gallery if it’s a left hander your on the West Coast if it’s a right well your over on the East Coast today the 8th. Don’t fret cause we’ve already got more plans for tomorrow, make sure you stay tuned.
Weather wise it’s been a mostly hot an sunny day here on the holiday island today. The early morning wind was fresh North Westerly that dedicated more to the West around 10.00AM.
The next tide today will be a 0.3mtr Low at 5.49PM
Tomorrows Surf Forecast isn’t looking too bad either with maybe a little bump in wave height coming out of the SSW. Wind wise that first TC I was talking about is coming into play now and spinning us more Westerly wind over the next 2-3 days.
Changing dollars to Rupiah today on the streets of Bali, — 1AU$=Rp9,925 — 1US$=Rp14,125 —
NB: if your in the market for a new board, fins, leashes or just about anything to do with surfing or cool stuff, head straight to the BOARDRIDERS mega SURF SHOP located 20mtrs back from Echo Beach at Canggu. Ask for Dicky he’s been known to do some crazy deals on new and used boards.
Right so if it’s starting to get a bit cold downunder you guys know where to come for some winter warmth and perfect waves, Bali. just CONTACT me if you need a hand with anything, and if we can help we will.
SURF WRITERS dept, if you’ve got something to contribute that other surfers might like to have a read of, maybe a funny yarn or some helpful experience to share. Please send it through and we’ll publish it here on the baliwaves, drop me a line and have a chat if you want.
Ripping on that Medewi special Slim! How was the right around the corner?
Cheers Greg, not too bad but here was maybe 15 surfers on as we drove in
Nice Slim! What is the Green-Yellow-Reddish Diverse? A GM?
Hey Tom, No bro it’s a full custom board I had made for double to triple head high waves, 7’4″ with the baby swallow tail. I just asked David to splash some paint on it and that’s how he handed it over to me like hahahaha
