****MORNING SURF UP DATE****
Hello crew and thanks for calling by the baliwaves (’99) for the latest news on surfing and weather conditions from here on everybody’s favorite surfing holiday destination of Bali.
This mornings 7.00AM surf check on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban was still only showing wave height to be breaking in the waist to head high range with the very occassional slightly bigger one. With the tide still running in for a solid 2.4mtr High scheduled for 9.00AM. Kuta Reef was looking the best out of the big 3 with waist to head high set waves. No shortage of early risers out there either with my head count picking up at least 30 surfers already on it. Middle Reef was already starting to look to full and closing out, around 15 surfers out there. Airport left wasn’t picking up as much size, still only waist the chest high at best.
Surfing conditions were still clean enough with the wind off shore, coming out of the E-SE with gusts of up to 12knot.
We plan on letting the High tide pass before we head south in search of better waves and conditions. So tune back in later this afternoon for a full run down and new photo gallery.
The next Low tide today will be 0.3mtr Low @ 3.30PM. Today also has a New Moon rising, so we will be seeing some big tidal ranges coinciding with some big waves starting tomorrow.
Weather wise we have a nice looking day coming on with plenty of blue sky out there. Currently right now @ 8.30AM the outside temperature is sitting on 26 degree’s Celsius and the humidity on 75%.
Traffic Up Date; Well the silly season (high season) is already apon us here in Bali. With a combination of international and domestic shool holidays the traffic in and out of the Kuta to Seminyak area is total kaos. Starting from around 2.00PM and running through until 9.00PM. I went into town the night before last and even riding my motor cycle the traffic was insane.
For any of you that just want nothing more than a hassle free, get up and go surf perfect waves every morning, see and do what the hotel / resort sect don’t. Well we have some new surfing / accommodation packages that will have you at the right location at the right time everyday. All deals include your own photographer at no extra cost. Hit this info link to find out more.
Feel free to contact us via email about your next trip to Bali and we might just be able to help make it run a little smoother for you.
Best Regards from Bali

Hey Slim..Just spent 3 weeks in Bali,Lembongan and Lombok.Got sum great waves.I’d like to touch on the subject of rubbish.As much as i luv surfing each year at Ulu’s and Balangan,i’m getting a little over the consistant dumping of rubbish,specially up behind the warungs at Balangan.I no as a tourist i’m contributing to this,but i ask the question why the locals continue to pollute the environment that we as Australians travell to enjoy..very concerned surfer…Rob..

Man your photos from Uluwatu yesterday are the best on the entire net. I wish I could surf those type of waves, I’m still very much a learner with a long way to go. I also once tried to run a website and failed badly, so I know all the work involved for you to make baliwaves.com undoubtedly the No.1 Bali surfing website. Keep up the good work Slim, Love ya style. Greggory

Greg,ya spot on about baliwaves,always the best and accurate reports and superb pics.I just spent a few weeks in Bali and spent a few days with slim,he is the man to put you onto the best waves and I have sum great pics he shot of me.Even with your limited surfing abilty you would fit right in over there as most guys there dont surf very well but catch the odd nice wave and pull into sum tubes.So get over there,its not real exy and well worth every cent.Go on give it a try mate,cos you’ll never never know if you never go.
Regards To Slim.Thanks Heaps Mate.hope to see ya next Year
