****AFTERNOON SURF UP DATE****
Hello friends and thanks for taking the time out to tune into the baliwaves (’99) for the very latest and greatest news / images on today’s surfing conditions from here on the No.1 surfing holiday destination of Bali.
This mornings 6.30AM surf check on the Outer Reefs here in Tuban was still showing wave height to be pretty much the same as yesterday, with 2-3 footers (waist to head high) breaking between Kuta reef and Airport Left. With the first tide today being a 2.1mtr High scheduled for 9.00AM the best waves were happening on Kuta Reef with waist to chest high size. Airport Left was a little more consistent in the waist to chest high plus category, and Middle Reef starting to get too fat in the waist to head high range. Surfers in the water on all of the main sections. Surfing conditions were clean enough but with the wind angling in out of the Northern quadrant making it cross shore.
As it shows in today’s 57 strong photo gallery we were up early and on the money at Canggu. Arriving to find crystal clean waves hitting all of the 3 main breaks in the waist to well over head class. The left hand reef break out the front of the now trendy cafes had 6 surfers on it. The left hand sand bar was producing some perfect little grinders in the chest to well over head range, 12 surfers on it. While the right hander on the river mouth was also pulling in head to well over head high set waves, 18 riders on it.
Surfing conditions remained clean with off shore northerly wind through until the SE Tradewind kicked in around 10.00AM.
The next Low tide will be a 0.4mtr Low @ 4.00PM.
Weather wise up on the black sand beach of Canggu it was hot and sunny with the midday temperature busting through the 30 degree Celsius mark. Currently right now at 2.45PM the outside temp is still a very warm 28 degree’s Celsius . Wind direction is now coming out of the SE @ 12-15knot+.

Be careful where you tread dept; One thing that really pissed me off today was that even though the local community at Canggu have done an exceptionally good jod of cleaning up their beach. But because I’ve stepped on enough broken glass in my days, kicked my toes etc, today I picked up not 1 but 3 used syringes with exposed needles on the sand where the average surfer walks. So be careful where you tread !
