**** AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE **** Howdy folks and thanks for dropping in to the baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report from straight off the beach here in Bali . Well I’m almost back in action and I can almost quote to ya’s whats on tv at any given time of the day, ater 5 days of lying on my back infront of the box.
But we got the surf reports covered with our man Scotto who’s been back up to Canggu this morning as ya’s can see in these latest pro filled photos we have for ya. I reckon it woulda been hard for a working man to get a wave at Canggu today with the crew of local and International ripsters in the water.
The first of our tides today here on the happy little holiday island of Bali was a 1.0mtr Low @ 8.00am then followed by a 1.9mtr High @ 2.30pm . Surfing conditions were clean and glassy first up until the ESE-SE off-shore Tradewind kicked in around 9.30am.
Anyway here’s what Scott had to say on surfing conditions up at Canggu this morning. “Well I was awake early today so I managed to get myself organised and headed up to Canggu. I was onsite and already set up at 6:45am when Slim rang for an update on surf conditions. Condtion were clean, glassy and around the 3ft+ range. There was some bigger ones coming through during the morning which would be a result of the incoming tide. It was another beautiful day, with sunshine clear skys, light off shore winds and perfect waves. Is there really any better place to be than in Bali right now? I don’t think so. I love the early mornings and watching the sun rise over the rice fields as I make my way each morning to a surf location knowing full well that the waves will be perfect when I get there. As far as the surfing going down on location “Canggu” it was once again a mixed bag of pro’s, learners and average joes like me. But we were all there for the same reason, and that is to have fun riding great waves. Rob Machado was riding a finless plank of wood and making it look all to easy. Try taking your fins out some time and taking off late under the lip and hold a line just using your rail. All in all it was a fun morning of waves. Hope you enjoy this latest little report coming from the one and only beautiful Bali . Till Next time Scottoâ€
Weather wise today she gets a 10-10 on the baliwaves.com 9-10 for the off-shore wind, blue sky and warm water and then another 1 because my back is feeling a bit better.
