BALI / INDONESIA
29th – 30th September 2019
Hello surfers and lovers of Bali and thanks again for stopping by the baliwaves (Bringing you all the good things from Bali 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.
Ok so yesterday the 29th and armed with a DSL and a 1000mm lens I thought I was pretty much obligated to head down to Uluwatu and shoot the hell out of the solid SW-SSW swell that was hitting Bali. As it shows in our latest photo gallery (I could have edited up another 100 photos at least if I had 4 arms) it was indeed going off. Wave height hitting the Main Peak was in the 4-6ft class (over head to triple over head plus) with a few occasional bigger freak sets. Stand out surfer had to be young Aussie Cooper Manion (cover photo) who was charging the bigger sets on his backside and getting the deepest barrels of the day. I also heard it kept getting bigger and by early afternoon there were even a few waves hitting Outside Corner ?
Weather wise it was another perfect Sunday with mostly blue sky.
Today the 30th and my 7.00am surf check on the Outer Reefs of Tuban was showing wave height to have dropped off hard over night. Leaving 2-4ft waves breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport left. Middle Reef was looking the best at the time and attracting the bigger slightly over head set waves while Kuta Reef was more in the chest to head high class.
The next tide today will be a solid 2.5mtr High at 10.45am so I reckon the waves are going to get a little fat towards the top end of it.
Weather wise outside right now at 8.10am we have a mostly blue sky looking down to the South. Temperature wise the mercury is already a warm 26C with the Humidity at 85% (feels it) and the UV index on 3. Wind direction is currently ESE at 11km/h.
Tomorrows surf forecast is calling for slightly smaller waves and more ESE-SE wind. Further out it looks like we should see another medium to solid swell hitting Bali on the 5th – 6th of October.
Bali Travel Tip
BALI BELLY (myth)
I often hear visitors saying stuff like, I was so sick with Bali belly (diarrhea / vomit) that part of my holiday was ruined. Well maybe back in the 70’s – 90’s it could have been a poor hygiene thing with eating cheap food / ice. But these days hygiene in the local resto’s and warungs is pretty good. The most common problem with people coming down with diarrhea is from their own poor hygiene practice. Yeah, if you want to avoid this shit.. be damned sure to be pedantic about washing your hands anytime you use your hands to put food in your mouth ! Even eating a potato chip for example. Your hands are going to be coming in direct contact with so many germ laden objects non stop, with the most dirty of them all (in any country for that matter) cash money ! Every warung or restaurant in Bali offer a wash basin for you to use, so use it ! The best friend you can have in your fight against being struck down by diarrhea is a small bottle of hand sanitizer that you can buy in any mini market or super market in Bali for around $2.00 Carry it with you if your going out for lunch or dinner and USE IT ! I’ve been using both the wash basins and the hand sanitizers for years, so make sure you do and have a healthy Bali holiday.
