The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We're looking at a solid run of groundswell on the way, but the first few days have a bit of a question mark over them due to the tide. The standout window is definitely next week, with some seriously clean, heavy conditions on the menu.
The first real action worth paddling out for kicks off on Thursday, 7th August at Padang Padang. The swell is holding at a solid 8ft from the SSW with a period of 17 seconds, which is proper long-period groundswell. That kind of energy will set up beautifully on a reef like this, but it's in the advanced territory—over 8ft is for experienced surfers only. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 19 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is strong (3345), so you'll feel the power. Expect some lulls between sets, but the waves that come through will be worth the wait.
The real highlight, though, is the stretch from Monday, 11th August through to the end of the following week. Monday afternoon sees the swell jumping to 10ft from the SSW with a period of 18 seconds, and the combined energy is pumping at a massive 6559. The wind is a clean offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. This is big, powerful, and for experts only. If you're not on it, you're watching from the cave.
Looking further ahead, Wednesday, 19th August, is another absolute cracker. The morning has glassy conditions with a 3 mph wind from the south, and a 8ft SSW swell at 18 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (4423). This is as clean as it gets for a world-class reef. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a springsuit will be fine.
There's a bit of a gap at the very start, with the 6th looking marginal due to the tide, and the run from the 15th to the 17th has some fresh breezes and cross-off winds that make it less ideal, though the swell is still there. The real magic is in the first week and then again around the 19th and 20th.
Crowds are possible at Padang Padang, so get in early. This spot is inconsistent, so when it's on, everyone knows it.
Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Padang Padang can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
