Hi folks and welcome back to Bali’s original surf and weather report website. Keeping it real from here on the World’s No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination. Well we have been watch the ocean closely the last few days with the prospect of a predicted big swell in transit to Bali and most of Indo. To be honest the swell models are really only early indicators of approaching swell and not 100% accurate at the best of times. There are other factors that also come into play like the age old “synoptic charts” that show the High and low pressure systems that can push or repel swells.
So on the 28th wave height was still only in the micro stage and I actually took the boat out trolling and hoping to find a big fat hungry school of fish feeding on the surface. Once again I was skunked, I pushed the boat out past Kuta reef around 12.pm and trolled lures from Airport right up to Berawa and everywhere in between. Yep another bad luck run for me but at least one of my friends managed to hook upa couple of 3kg Trevally.
Yesterday the 29th and my surf check on the Outer reefs of Tuban / South Kuta was starting to show some promise of the predicted and approaching swell. Wave height had jumped from 1-2ft up into the 2-4ft range. But still Middle Reef was the best option for a paddle on the lower end of the tide range.
This morning the 30th and my 7.30am surf check had wave height in the 5-8ft class between Kuta reef and Airport left. The new swell arriving perfectly as predicted. Not a lot of options for waves this morning around here with Kuta reef almost maxing out an not wrapping around the reef as it’s know for. More of just a steam rolling take off and pushing the surfers straight out into the deep water. Maybe 30 surfers made the trip out to Kuta reef this morning. Tomorrow looks like a much better option out there as the swell backs off. I sat it out this morning again with my knee not showing much improvement going into week 6. My main job this morning was keeping an eye on my old outrigger moored just out of range of the murderous high tide shore break fangs.
Today’s photo gallery is just some frame grabs I cut from the video Ketut shot down at Padang Padang this morning. With macking out waves on the reefs here in Tuban we thought Padangx2 would be on. But not really I went through the 100 clips Ketut shot and it was pretty much a “training day” for visiting surfers. Only 1 or 2 locals in the water and none of the none of the local Balinese known tube riders to be seen. Ketut said at 7.30am he counted 60 surfers packed into the small take off zone. I’d say Uluwatu would definitely be work a look on the late afternoon low tide.
Weather wise today it’s been mostly overcast here in South Kutaand there was a bit of rain down on the southern end of the island early. Right now at 2.15pm the temp is on 28C and the Humidity is at 81%. Wind direction is out of the ESE at 12-15knot.
The next tide today will be a 0.1mtr Low at 5.39pm
Tomorrows Swell forecast is calling for plenty more waves and still pretty big. Slowly dropping off through out the day and into September. Wind wise the charts are saying a lighter early in the day before the Tradewind kicks in with gusts up 10knot+
Ok that’s me for today but stay tuned to us for more news and updates as it happens right here on the World’s No.1 tropical surfing holiday destination. We are also looking forward to seeing our old friend and long time guest returning to Bali tomorrow. @JeremyinBali
