Kuta Reef to Uluwatu, 4th July ’09

4th July 09
****MIDDAY SURF UP-DATE****
Hello surfers and thanks for stopping by the baliwaves.com for the Saturday arvo run down on whats happening surf and weather wise here on the happy little holiday island of Bali. And another thank you to Hendra and his team down at Uluwatu for these latest photos.

This mornings surf recon of the Outer Reefs was unfortunately showing a big drop in wave height betwen Kuta Reef and Airport Left. Kuta Reef is still peeling off nicely in the waist to waist high plus sector, good for the grommets out there today. Middle Reef was slightly bigger breaking in the waist to head high class but with somewhere between 20-30 surfers battling for the sets. Airport Left was lucky to be hitting waist high. And if our swell forecast holds true as it has so far tomorrows going to be a good day to have a rest surfing wise.

Best bet for a wave today & tomorrow is going to be at Uluwatu.

Surfing conditions are clean and tidy with the wind blowing straight off-shore between Kuta and Ulu. Coming out of the ESE-SE @ 10-12knot+

Tidal info, today we had a 2.1mtr High @ 7.30am and is now running back out for a 0.6mtr Low @ 2.00pm. And with the next Full moon approaching on the 7th we will start getting back to some bigger and better tidal ranges.

Weather wise, once again it’s nothing but perfect holiday stuff with blue sky and sunshine. heading for a maximum temperature of around 32 degree’s along the beach.

Swell forecast; Saturday and the game is just about over for this swell, come Sunday the only place that will be breaking is down at Uluwatu and then only in the 2-3ft (waist to head high at best). But further out down in the Indian Ocean there is another system in transit that we should start producing some fresh waves around Wednesday / Thursday next week. This new system is really only going to get us through till Friday with waves up to 4-6ft, head high plus to double head high plus depending on location. Then on Saturday backing off again. But then again on Sunday next week it looks like we’ll be in for another solid boost with a much larger system moving in on us.
