BALI SURF & WEATHER REPORT, Racetrack / Uluwatu 6th-8th September 2020

BALI SURF & WEATHER REPORT
6th – 8th September

Hello everyone and a special hello to our friends, friends that really know us and have shown us the much needed support through this extremely tough mentally and physically time. We are going into our 8th month of no income and I’m sure you would be able to work out how hard that would be. It is only through your help that we are keeping everything together keeping the lights on and food on the table.

It’s been a bit touch and go for me the last few days trying to stay focused going into my 9th month of no income and solely relying on help from friends. I thought I’d get back out in the boat and try my luck fishing again on the 6th. Everything started off fine until I got out behind the airport around 1.5km’s from the beach when, as captains do, noticed a sound coming from the motor that shouldn’t be. So I nursed her a little further before making the call to head back to the beach. Better to be safe that sorry, boating in Bali and your pretty much on your own. I made it back just nice and slowly but this didn’t help my head. I spent the 7th tinkering on the engine with a friend and helping him with work on his outriggers. Hopefully, my engine sound be ok to fish again soon.

Today the 8th and my son Ray and I took a run down to Uluwatu to see what the early morning low tide was doing. The charts have changed a little showing the next swell not arriving until later tonight or tomorrow morning. So we were greeted by some super clean 3-4 footers bending down through the Racetrack with 6 surfers in the water and the tide just starting to run back. The wind was light off shore out of the East and some really nice waves coming through.

I do have to apologize for the clarity in some of the photos I shot this morning, my head wasn’t fully in focus I have to put it down to. But I did teach Ray to set up and run the little video cam we have so that worked out well anyway. I think it’s just about time for a new video installment on the baliwaves.

As the tide filled in the focus was moving back to the Main Peak and I’m sure there would have been a few waves for the High tide crew. As we were driving out there was at least another 15 surfers turning up.

Weather wise right now at 3.15pm we have a mostly blue sky and the temperature at 29C, Humidity level is at 69%. The wind has kicked in with gusts of up to 14 knot out of the SE.

Tomorrows Surf Forecast is saying we can expect to see wave height a lot bigger than today into the moderate class. Light early morning Easterly wind turning more to the SE by midday.

Ok friends stay safe and thanks again for tuning into baliwaves.com the original Bali surf and weather report website since back in 1999. I’ll get you a more detailed report next time around.
