****MORNING SURF UP-DATE****
Good morning to you all and welcome aboard the baliwaves.com surf and weather report machine for the Sunday Session on surfing conditions here on your No.1 surfing holiday destination that caters to absolutely everyone.
Yesterday afternoon wave height was slowly creeping up in height and by sunset was breaking in the 3-5ft range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. And when “Andy” from Hendra’s Photo Team dropped off their photos to us reckoned that Uluwatu was hitting the solid 6ft+ range down there.
This mornings surf check on the Outer Reefs was showing wave height to have settled back down but still coming through in the 3-4ft class between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. Kuta Reef was peeling off nicely in the chest to head high plus size while the tide was still running in this morning. Middle Reef was breaking in the head to head high plus sector and will improve as the tide starts running back out around midday. Airport Left was a consistant head high with the occassional bigger set wave.
Surfing conditions are clean and smooth with the early morning wind once again coming out of the NNE before the ESE-SE off-shore Tradewind commenced around 8.45am. Currently gusting up to 12knot and may increase in strength through out the afternoon.
Tidal info for today is say we had a 2.3mtr High @ 9.00am and then she’ll be emptying out for a 0.3mtr Low around 4.00pm.
Weather conditions here on the holiday island are ideal for a holiday with nothing but blue sky and sunshine around the Tuban / Kuta area. Heading for a top temperature of around 32 degree’s Celsius along the beach.
Swell Forecast; Ok so the charts are saying that wave height should hold through today and maybe even pick up another foot or so through out this afternoon. Monday see’s wave height backing off a touch and holding through Tuesday in the 3-6ft range depending on location. Wednesday see’s wave height dropping back into the 2-4ft+ class through till Thursday evening when we should see another solid swell gracing the reefs around Bali pushing wave height back into the 6-8ft+ peg and hopefully another round of Padang Padang for Friday. Saturday wave height falling back into the 4-6ft range, then Sunday smaller again. But just on the edge of the radar there’s another system moving up the Indian Ocean arriving around Tuesday week. So get ready or start booking your flights to Bali.
Ok folks enjoy your Sunday and take a flick through these latest photos (surfing and bodyboarding) I’ll be back again tomorrow relentlessly with more news and photos from here in Bali.
Cya in the snow fields (not likely me buckos!)
