****AFTERNOON SURF-UPDATE**** Hello friends and thanks for dropping by your baliwaves.com for another round of surf and weather info from the No.1 surfing holiday destination that has it all in in one tidy package, Bali.
Well this morning one of the guests staying with us here at Home Base and myself decided to make a run up the coast to Balian, well we actually made the plans last night. We hit the road around 5.30am, so it was still too dark to see what was happening on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban.
Pulling into the car park in front of Ayu’s Warung and over looking the left and right peak we were both pretty stoked to see 3-5 footers stacked up and only around 30 surfers in the water at 7.30am. The waves just didn’t stop coming through for the 2 hour session and these are some of the photos from it. Balian pumps and picks up quite a bit of swell compared to a lot of other locations along Bali’s West Coastline.
I hung around until 11.00am and the perfect left and rights were still rolling through and now there was only 15 surfers spread through them. The wind was clean off-shore through until 10.30am before turning light cross-shore outta the ESE.
Weather wise it was a cloudy and rainy drive up the coast and it was still overcast for the better past of the morning. As you might be able to tell by looking at todays photo quality. Even so temperature wise the mercury was still sitting around the 27-29 degree Celsius mark.
Swell Forecast ; Ok so the charts have changed slightly and now it looks like we should still have plenty of waves in the 2-4ft+ range through the remainder of today and into tomorrow (Thursday). Then it’s showing a drop in size back into the 2-3ft range for Friday and into Saturday morning. Sometime through the late afternoon of Saturday we should see a new swell generating system hitting our reef breaks producing waves in the 4-6ft+ range peaking through Sunday and into Monday. Before tapering off back down into the 2-3ft+ range come next Tuesday
Bali Fishing New’s ; Yesterday I finally got around to loading up some of the photos I’ve taken of some of the fish we’ve caught over the last 4 weeks. Plus a bit of a run down on what we’ve been up to. You can find that on our Fishing Report Page in the Reports Menue.
Exchange Rates ; Well the way the Australian dollar has been crashing the last couple of weeks it’s been hard to say what it’s doing today but it would be still ranging between Rp7,800 – Rp7,900 depending on location. While the US$ is still pretty stable at Rp9,100.
