The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards at Padang Padang, a world-class reef break that’s inconsistent but when it fires, it’s special. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is within a normal range for this time of year, so no dramas there.
The pattern kicks off this Saturday, 15 August, with a cracking SSW swell pushing 8ft at 17 seconds – that’s proper groundswell with plenty of energy (combined energy of 3142). Winds are light offshore from the ESE, so the lineup will be clean and inviting. This is expert territory at this size, but if you’ve got the skills, it’s a standout session. Saturday afternoon holds similar quality, with a touch more size at 8ft and still offshore.
Sunday, 16 August, the morning is a bit mixed – cross-off winds and a slight drop in energy (2243), but still a solid 7ft SSW swell. The afternoon cleans up nicely with offshore winds again and 6ft waves, so worth a paddle.
Monday, 17 August, sees the swell easing to 5ft, but the winds stay offshore, making for clean, fun waves. Energy drops to moderate (916), but the quality is there for a good session.
The real standout is Wednesday, 19 August. The swell builds to 8ft from the SSW, with a long 18-second period and massive energy (4083). Offshore winds all day, and the conditions are primo for advanced surfers. This is the pick of the run – big, powerful, and clean.
The week continues strong through to Sunday, 23 August, with solid 7ft to 8ft swells, mostly offshore winds, and excellent energy levels. From 24 August, the swell eases a bit but stays fun, with 5ft to 6ft waves and clean conditions. The energy drops to moderate (743-1118) by 26 August, but still good surf.
The end of the run sees a pulse on Saturday, 29 August, with a 7ft SW swell and 19-second period, energy jumping back up to 3704. Winds stay light offshore, making for another standout. Sunday, 30 August, wraps it up with a 7ft swell and light winds.
Overall, it’s a solid two-week block with excellent, clean conditions for experienced surfers. The reef is the star here, and the consistency of offshore winds is a big win. Don’t sleep on Wednesday 19 August – that’s the one to circle.
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.
