The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks. We've got a solid, extended run of quality swell heading for the Bukit. This is a proper Indian Ocean groundswell sequence, and the forecasts are looking locked in.
The core of this outlook is Padang Padang. This is a world-class reef break, but it's inconsistent and it's for experts only. If you're not comfortable on a shallow, hollow right-hander, give this one a miss. The first notable surf arrives on Tuesday, 25 August. We're talking a clean 6ft swell from the SSW with a 16-second period. That's a long period groundswell packing moderate to strong energy (1335), with a clean offshore breeze. The water is 79°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s not the big one yet, but it’s a great start.
The real standout window kicks off on Friday, 28 August. This is the pick of the whole forecast. Expect solid 8ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period. The energy jumps to very strong (3616). Offshore wind holds all day, keeping that famous barrel shape tidy. The next few days, Saturday and Sunday, back it up with 7ft and 5ft swells respectively, still with clean winds. This is a guaranteed, world-class few days.
Monday, 31 August into Tuesday, 1 September sees a mix up. The swell drops a little but then bounces back on the 1st at 7ft, though the conditions get a bit more marginal with stronger winds. The week starting Monday, 7 September looks promising again. There’s a fascinating shift on Tuesday, 8 September: a 3ft swell, but with an incredibly long 22-second period and strong energy (1449). That’s a pure, long-distance groundswell that’ll wrap in perfectly and groom out the lines.
The biggest energy event is on Wednesday, 9 September. We’re looking at 8ft of SSW swell again, but the period is a very long 18 seconds and the energy is massive at 4707. This is a serious, expert-only session. For anyone watching from the cliffs, it’ll be a spectacle. There is one gap of note: after the first week of September there isn't a big drop, just a consistent run of swell right through to the 9th, so it's all green lights.
Signing off, 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.
