Bali Bodyboarding Report – July 4 2007

MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** G’day crew, thanks for dropping in for the baliwaves.com daily surf and weather report. Dewa and Slim were down checking on surfing conditions on the Outer Reefs at 7.30 this morning for ya’s, and wave height has back peddled dropping down into the 1-3ft range. The wind was howling outta the ESE @ 12-15knot range, off-shore between Legian and Uluwatu. The tide was on the bottom of the Low and just about to start running back in. Kuta Reef was breaking in the 1-2ft class, peeling perfectly but no one was out there at the time. Middle Reef was doing slightly better in size with 1-3 footers with maybe the odd bigger freak set. Middle Reef is better suited to the Low tide. There were a couple of surfers out there picking off the good ones. Airport Left had 1-2 footers and there looked to be quite a few surfers out there, maybe 10-15 all up. Weather wise the sky is clouded up and the strong off-shore wind is keeping the temperature down in the mid twenties. I also noticed that the yesterdays water temperature was more like 20-21 degree’s Celsius, a touch cooler than usual. The best bet for a wave this morning would be down at Uluwatu where you’d be able to find a bit more size and power, probably in the 3-4ft+ range. The beach breaks up along the Kuta to Legian stretch would also be worth a look later on when the tide runs back in. I’m also thinking that anytime in the next 24hrs we should start to see the next swell system appearing on the reef and beach breaks around Bali . I’ll keep ya’s upta date as soon as it shows up ! Have a good one and remember, it’s never to late for a surfing holiday in Bali ! And don’t forget to check out the Mentawai Surf Report from the guys at Kandui Surf Resort.
