****AFTERNOON SURF UP-DATE****
Hello surfers and welcome back to your baliwaves for the most up to date news on todays surfing and weather conditions here on the happy little holiday island of Bali.
This mornings 6.30am surf check on the Outer reefs here in Tuban was showing another decrease in wave height with only 1-1ft+ waves breaking between Kuta Reef and Airport Left.. And even then they were few and far between. Wind direction this morning was coming straight out of the North @ 1-2knot and pretty well glassy surfing conditions. Until around 8.30am when she started swinging more to the West and increasing to 5-9knot.
So after laying some fishing net with a friend for a couple of hours then back home for a lazy breakfast we decided to take a run back over to the East Coast, to see if there were any waves happening at Serangan. Wave height at Serangan had also bitten the bullet, dropping off to a small but consistant knee to waist high plus. Just perfect for all the Russian learn to surf crew I suppose. My friend Talal decided on a quick paddle while I decided on a quick nap in the shade of the beach side warung / cafe. With the small waves I was surprised to only see something like 45 surfers in the water at Serangan.
More light winds predicted for early tomorrow morning so we might take a trip down to old Uluwatu for a look.
Tidal info for today. Well there’s not much difference at all today, or over the next couple of days for that matter. This morning we had a High 1.4mtrs @ 8.30am and then running out for a 1.1mtr Low around the 1.30pm mark.
Weather wise it’s been hot and sunny with a top temperature of 32 degree’s Celsius.
Swell Forecast for the period 23rd Jan through till the 29th Jan isn’t looking real crash hot. Today Saturday is showing wave height to be still holding in the 2-3ft+ range on the more open swell locations. Sunday see’s wave height dropping off into the 1-3ft+ class before fading out to 1-2ft come Monday afternoon. Tuesday see’s a small bump in size putting us back into the 2-3ft range, that will hopefully hold through Wednesday. Thursday through to next Saturday and it’ll be back to 1-2ft+. NB: 2-3ft is equivilant to waist to head high surf. So nothing spectacular for Bali wave standards but still we should be able to find a wave or two if you know where and when to look. Plus who knows what may pop onto the radar between now and next week ?.
