Bali Surf news

News From www.Baliwave.com

Hello reef riders and welcome back to the original Bali surf ‘n weather report (since ’99). Well so far so good, we got a nice looking day coming on for us here in Bali with lots of blue sky and sunshine in stall. The wind is blowing hard off ashore (Legian to Uluwatu) coming outta the ESE-SE @ 8-12knot+ and will probably increase in strength as the day gets going. The time right now has just gone 7.45am and I’ve just got back from doing the morning surf re con of the Outer Reefs here in Tuban. Wave height has dropped off a foot or so from yesterday but there’s still plenty breaking in the 2-4ft range between Kuta Reef and Airport Left. The tide had just passed through the top of a 2.0mtr High @ 6.30am and is now on the run out for a 0.8mtr Low set to happen around 12.30-1.00pm. Kuta Reef already had around 10 surfers in the line up with wave height in the waist to shoulder high plus range. It was kinda a little bit inconsistent but when they did come through they were peeling off for at least 70 yards. Middle Reef was getting some better size with the set waves reaching a few feet over head. There was a handful of riders out there and Middle’s will get better as the tide starts to run out a bit more. Airport Left was in the waist to shoulder high range and there were already a few reef taxi’s parked in the channel indicating that the crew from Japan were in office. One of my friends who is staying down at Balangan has just sms’d through that there’s still waves in the head to over head high class down there this morning. Johnny says that it’s still a little inconsistent with the morning high tide but should get better around mid morning with a little less water over the reef. There were 3 surfers in the water at the time that just couldn’t wait. Uluwatu would still be pushing the over head to double head high range. The Main Peak would be where the action is down there this morning and then the Racetrack will be the place to be from lunchtime onwards. Ok so there’s gunna be plenty of waves surfed around Bali today and that should keep everyone here on vacation stoked. I managed to get those body boarding photos from Padang Padang yesterdays loaded onto their appropriate page last night. Plus Dan from the SUPER BANK and Ray from the Kandui Surf Resort up in the MENTAWAI ISLANDS have both filed their reports onto their pages. Not to mention our roaming surf reporter Pierre, he’s always got something for ya’s on the READERS REPORT page. Me I’ve got another VIDEO CLIP or two to throw together for ya’s (then go for a surf) so there’s plenty for ya’s to check out on the baliwaves.com today. Oh yeah department: Troy has got some ORIGINAL BALIWAVES.COM T-SHIRTS on sale for anyone who wants to get one. So come on folks grab a baliwaves t-shirt and help support your favourite surf and weather report crew. Ok then have a good one what ever you’ve got happening today, and we’ll just keep on doing what we do best. Lakey Peak on the island of Sumbawa; Happening over at Lakey Peak next month is the annual Dompu Pro open surfing contest will be happening from the 13th to 15th of August. All surfers are welcome to get over there and compete ! For anyone wanting to try out Lakey Peak make sure you check the tidal information before you head over there. It’s pretty important that you line up your time there while the High Tide is happening through the early am and then progressing forward each day. That way you’ll be assured of scoring perfection. Merpati Airlines are flying there daily from Bali and you can buy your tickets from a 1000 different travel agents anywhere in Bali (and save yourselves some dollars by doing it on your pat malone) Once your in Bima there’s transport drivers waiting to take you to Lakey Peak for around Rp500,000 per van, and that’s split between the surfers. Then ya got a range of Hotels to choose from all right in front of the waves, ranging from low low budget to the very very comfortable rooms of the Aman Gati Hotel. Plus ya can always drop us an email for more information on getting across to lakey’s

Before the procession, a ceremony is perform to invite spirits occupy the Ogoh-Ogoh and after the procession another ceremony is held to neutralize the spirits by symbolically burn or actually burn the Ogoh-ogoh . This spirit is believed as spirit of evil (bhuta) that may become the disturbance for human and the universe and they will be always part of human and universe. The purpose of the overall ceremony that held on this day are to neutralize the bad force / spirit (bhuta) so it is not any longer becomes disturbance but instead become positive force for the good of human and universe. In some case or depend on thecondition and regent decision Ogoh-Ogoh may not be made, but based on religious point of view, the priests ensure that the non-existing of Ogoh-Ogoh will not decrease the essential meaning of the Nyepi celebration.

Nusa Dua

Crystal clear water and stretches of white sandy beach of Nusa Dua makes Nusa Dua a perfect spot for luxurious resorts to which your exhausted bodies, after a Barong performance at Batubulan and a long climb of the steps of the Mother Temple Besakih, will want to rest. Some of the most sumptuous and luxurious hotels in the world find their home in Nusa Dua Bali. You can relax in the Thalasso spa of the Grand Mirage Resort after a day of surfing or diving. Or you can tee off into the sunset, while watching the gentle waves come from the blue sea and caress the banks surrounding the luscious greens. Tranquil swimming pools under the coconut trees seem to be one with the distant blue sea. Art galleries and numerous shops surround them. In Bali, Nusa Dua is the place to stay in style. Nusa Dua map
