Table - best surf conditions forecast for Padang Padang over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Padang Padang (Bali). The first wave of the forecast is a bit of a tease on Sunday afternoon, July 12th, with a clean 2.6ft SSW swell, but it's light and the energy is low (365). It’s a nice little warm-up, but not the main event.
The real action starts to build on Monday afternoon, July 13th. The wind locks in offshore from the ESE, and we see a jump in quality. The swell comes from the SSW at 3.0ft with a very long period of 21 seconds, giving it that groundswell push. The combined energy is moderate (1059), and the water is a touch warm at 80.4°, which is about average for this time of year.
The standout session, and the best on offer in the first week, is Tuesday afternoon, July 14th. Offshore winds from the SE, a clean 6.9ft SSW swell with a period of 18 seconds, and the energy is pumping hard (2749). That’s excellent, experienced-surfer territory. It’s a reef break, so that long period will wrap in beautifully, but it’s going to be a handful for anyone not on their game.
The swell stays solid through the end of the week with more offshore winds, but the standouts keep coming. Then, check the calendar for Monday morning, July 20th – that’s a big one. The rain showers might put you off, but don’t be fooled. The wind is offshore, the swell is a meaty 7.5ft from the SSW at 17 seconds, and the energy is through the roof (3210). That’s not just good; that’s a serious session for experienced crew. The break is inconsistent, so it’s not a guarantee, but when it comes, it will be worth the wait.
The long-range also looks promising. Saturday, July 25th, is another big one. The afternoon shows a 7.9ft SSW swell, period of 17 seconds, and the energy is the highest of the whole forecast (3980). Offshore winds again. It’s a long way out, so treat it as a promising target, but the signs are all there for a classic Padang day.
The crowds are a factor here. This spot can get busy, so for the big days, you’ll want to be on it early. The waves are too big for beginners on those 6.5ft+ days, so leave it for the experts.

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.
