The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk in feet and miles. Padang Padang – this reef break is a moody one, inconsistent, but when it's on, it's all-time. Water temp is 80.4°F, right about average for July. The wind is offshore from the southeast almost every day, so the surface stays clean even when the swell isn't huge.
We start this Friday afternoon with a 3.6ft SW groundswell, period 16 seconds, and the combined energy is 1106 – that's solid. Offshore wind at 16 mph. The wave comment says "very good." It's a nice opener. Saturday and Sunday bring similar size, about 4.3–4.6ft, but the period drops to 13–15 seconds, and the scores are marginal due to rain showers and tide. Still, the wind is offshore, so you'll get clean lines.
Monday the 20th sees a bump: 5.2ft in the morning, 6.9ft in the afternoon, with 14–16 second periods. Energy jumps to 2048 then 2305 – that's strong. But the forecast flags "marginal" because of tide issues. Tuesday and Wednesday are similar: 5.2–5.6ft, offshore wind, but the quality isn't top-notch. Don't get too excited yet.
Now the real deal: Tuesday the 28th through Thursday the 31st. Tuesday morning: 4.6ft SSW groundswell, 18 seconds, gentle 9 mph offshore wind. Energy 1625, "excellent for experienced surfers." Afternoon: 5.6ft, same period, energy 1992, moderate offshore. Wednesday the 29th: 6.6ft, 16 seconds, light 6 mph offshore wind, energy 2085. That's a proper barrel. Thursday the 30th: 4.9ft morning, then a weird 3.0ft but 21 second period afternoon – energy 2186 – still "excellent." Friday the 31st: 4.3–4.9ft, 18–19 seconds, gentle offshore, energy
