The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about what’s cooking in the water. Rusty here.
The water’s sitting at 26°, which is typical for the season. The swell energy is all over the place, from moderate to strong, with readings from 845 right up to 3731, so there’s plenty of grunt in the ocean. The real standout is the end of this week, specifically Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th. Friday morning has 2.5m of SSW groundswell, with a 16-second period and a light offshore breeze from the ESE. That’s a heavy, long-period swell that’s going to unload on the reef. Saturday morning is still pumping with 1.9m SSW swell, 15-second period, and light offshore winds. That’s clean, powerful, and excellent.
The next week is consistent. Monday the 31st afternoon has 1.6m SW swell with an 18-second period, which is a very long period groundswell, and it’ll deliver some serious shape. The 1st and 2nd of September see 2-2.1m SW swell, though the wind gets a bit stronger on the 1st afternoon, so it’ll be a bit more challenging but still good. The 5th of September is another big day, with 1.8m SSW swell and moderate offshore winds, bringing excellent conditions for experienced surfers.
Padang Padang is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so you’ll need to wait for sets, but the shape is elite when it comes. The optimum swell direction is SW, and we’re getting plenty of that. Crowds can be a factor sometimes, so pick your session. The long-period swells (over 15 seconds) are perfect for this reef, giving you hollow, powerful waves with good gaps between sets.
The first week is the strongest window, but the second week still delivers good to excellent conditions, especially from the 5th to the 10th of September. The 10th finishes strong with 2.0m SSW swell and clean conditions.
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.
