Bali Surf Report – July 28 2007

**** MORNING SURF UP-DATE **** Good morning folks and thanks for tuning in to the baliwaves.com for the run down on todays surf and weather conditions around Bali and beyond . Sorry about yesterday, no report but like I said the other day there’s a lot happening for me at the moment. But anyway I was talking to young surfer from Tasmania names Eben earlier this morning. He surfed at Kuta Reef yesterday morning and reckoned even though the waves were perfect a solid 3-4ft it was a total shit fight due to visiting surfers with the “drop in fever” fresh off the planes and thinking they were still at their home break. I know there’s a lot of non thinking surfers who get out there. But what they don’t realize is that if ya get hurt out there it’s a long way to the shore. First you have to get to a boat (if there’s one parked out there) then you’ve got another 10 minutes to the shore, then you’ve gotta find someone with a car to get you to a doctor/hospital. There’s a good hour involved. Anyway this morning my 6.30am surf check of the Outer Reefs was looking real good for the lucky buggers that were already out there surfing. The wind was light off-shore coming outta the ESE @ 2-5knot . The tide was also playing it’s part and on the run up for a 2.2mtr High happening around 9.00am. Kuta Reef was reeling through wave after wave in the 2-4ft range, peeling off perectly for a good 80-100yrds. Middle Reef was picking up slightly bigger set waves but starting to feel the effect of the approaching High Tide. Airport Left was not getting as much swell as the other 2 reefs, probably due to the swell direction coming more outta the SW. Weather wise outside it’s also pretty faultless with blue sky galore, so we’re gunna be in for another hot one around the beach. I’ve got Dewa Made heading down to Uluwatu for us today to check on surfing conditions down there. As I’ve got more stuff to get done. But come tomorrow I’ll be out there chasing up some waves up for ya’s. Ok my fine friends have a good one and if you feel up to it tune in again later this evening for a close up look at Uluwatu . But don’t go away yet because Dan from the Super Bank in Australia has sent us through another batch of good photos, and the lads from the Kandui Surfing Resort in the Mentawai Islands have also got more surfing news on their page. Maybe Pierre has also got some new stuff on his Readers Report page. Alright then have a good one and I’ll get back to ya’s later this evening.
