| Name: | Padangbai |
|---|---|
| Type: | point |
| Reliability: | inconsistent |
| Best Swell: S | Offshore Wind: W |
Padangbai in Bali (Sanur) is a reasonably exposed point break that does not work very often. Nov-April (Wet Season) provides favoured time of year for waves. The best wind direction is from the west. Groundswells more frequent than windswells and the ideal swell direction is from the south. Best around mid tide when the tide is rising. Even when there are waves, it's not likley to be crowded. Surfing here means negotiating dangerous rips.
