Hi friends we really want to thank everyone who has helped us get through the pandemic and total lack of income. I’m so happy to see the speed at which Bali is coming back into swing again. But baliwaves needs camera equipment to carry on, usually we upgrade / burn out our old gear around every 4 yrs. This time round we went 6yrs and were very lucky to get through. But hopefully (fingers crossed) we are on track and on the come back trail again. Please don’t give up on us through this as hopefully we are on the last leg.

As I mentioned in yesterdays report we were up at “the Gu” on the 11th. After another long and very rewarding day again today I finally just finished editing some of those photos just now. So as the photos show it was indeed fun little waves with a light crowd at the Gu. People just have to remember that even here in Bali the surf isn’t always 6 feet and perfect. We get our fair share of small but very fun waves.
Today the 12th and it was no different with more small but fun waves. In fact it was even smaller than yesterday. So with careful consideration we made the call to drive up the West Coast to visit some friends and hopefully get a few waves at Indonesia’s true wave magnet location of Balian. With all the rain that we have had the water quality, mostly color was our main worry. But after surfing at Canggu yesterday in relatively clean and clear water we went for it.
Arriving after a fairly slow 2hr drive we were very happy to see 2-3ft+ waves with clear enough water qual. Only 2 other surfers in the water and to put the icing on the cake a light off shore wind. The tide was just pushing back in so everything was as we had planned for. You know if it’s 2-3ft at Balian then it’s tiny everywhere else around the island. Surfing conditions stayed nice and clean right through until we packed up around midday. The crowd did grow to about 20 but for the most it was a nice friendly crowd. I will admit the drive back home took almost 4hrs due to a mixture of ceremonies, road works and domestic traffic. But when your with good company it’s all good.
Weather wise it was mostly overcast all day and we did strike some heavy rain towards the Tabanan area. Right now at 6.15pm I can see a nice pink glow from the pending sunset over a mostly clear Kuta sky.
I did mention in this this mornings video surf report on location that today marked the 20th anniversary of the cowardly terror attack on mostly innocent holiday makers and locals a like.
Tomorrow’s another day and make sure you stay tuned to see what we have planned for tomorrow. Hopefully the wave models are correct and that we see a nice little bump in wave height.

Breaking News Department. Petrol has jumped 30% in price from the 4th of September so be prepared for slight increases in all prices on just about everything here in Bali. The first of the increases was LPG, our 5kg refils have gone from Rp135K now at 230K for the same fill. 95% of Indonesia runs on gas for cooking so that’s going to hurt everyone.
