The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a proper run of swell lining up for Padang Padang over the next couple of weeks. This reef is a fickle one – it’s inconsistent and for advanced surfers only – but when it turns on, it’s world-class. The water’s sitting at 79°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there.
The first solid action kicks off Monday afternoon, September 14. Swell is 6ft from the SW with a long 16-second period, packing moderate wave energy (1511). The ESE breeze is blowing offshore, keeping things clean. It’s a bit marginal for the tide, so not the standout. Tuesday the 15th looks better: 6ft SW swell, 15-second period, clean offshore wind – excellent conditions for the experienced crew. That holds through Wednesday morning (16th) with 6ft from the SSW and 15-second period.
The real standout in this first week is Thursday, September 17. Morning sees 7ft from the SSW, 14-second period, and strong wave energy (1858). Clean offshore SE winds. It’s pushing into expert territory at over 5ft, but the quality is there. Friday the 18th drops a notch to 5ft but stays clean. Saturday the 19th is lighter at 4ft, still with clean offshore conditions – a good day for the advanced surfer who wants it a bit more user-friendly.
Now, looking ahead, the second week really fires. Sunday, September 20, brings a superb swell: 6ft in the morning, building to 7ft in the afternoon from the SW with a 16-second period and strong energy (2122). Gentle offshore breeze. This is a prime candidate for the best of the run. Monday the 21st keeps that 7ft SSW swell going. Then Tuesday the 22nd backs off a bit to 5ft.
But hold onto your leash for Wednesday, September 23 through to the end. Wednesday morning is 6ft from the SSW with a long 16-second period and strong energy (1629). Thursday the 24th keeps 6ft going. Friday the 25th is 5ft, but the afternoon throws a surprise: 4ft from the SSW with a very long 19-second period – that’s a proper groundswell, and at Padang Padang reef, that means beautiful, lined-up waves. Saturday, September 26 is the monster: 8ft from the SSW with a 16-second period and very strong energy (3594). This is experts-only. Clean offshore winds. Sunday the 27th holds at 7ft, and Monday the 28th pumps again with 8ft and 16-second period, some of the biggest energy of the whole run (3609). Tuesday the 29th eases back to 7ft.
Best on offer? I’d say Sunday, September 20, with that 7ft SW groundswell and gentle offshore breeze – it’s got power, length, and clean conditions. Keep an eye on Saturday, September 26, too, if you’re charging hard – that 8ft is pure grunt. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so for the bigger days expect company. Padang Padang doesn’t break often, but when it does, it’s a gem.
Rusty.

Information about the Padang Padang Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Padang Padang provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Padang Padang can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Padang Padang surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Padang Padang) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Padang Padang may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
