The Lowdown
Hey, it's Rusty. We've got a solid run of swell aimed at Padang Padang, and it's shaping up to be a classic stretch of waves. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The pattern kicks off on Monday, 31 August with a long-period groundswell from the SSW, 18 seconds, pushing in at 4ft to 6ft. The morning is a bit marginal, but by Monday afternoon, things clean up nicely. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 16 mph, keeping the faces smooth, and the combined swell energy is strong at 1892. A solid start, but the best is yet to come.
The standout window really begins on Saturday, 5 September. The swell builds through the week, and by Saturday afternoon we've got 6ft of SSW swell, 15-second period, with a clean offshore breeze from the SSE at 12 mph. The wave energy is pumping at 1735, and that combo of long-period groundswell and offshore wind is going to make for some beautiful, well-shaped waves at this reef. It's a ripper.
Then, from Wednesday, 9 September, we enter a run of all-time conditions. The morning sees 7ft of SSW swell at 21 seconds – that's a very long period groundswell – with a gentle offshore breeze from the SSE at 9 mph. The energy is massive at 6320, and the surf is clean and powerful. This is the kind of day you dream about. Thursday, 10 September pushes up to 10ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers, but the trade-off is incredible, powerful waves with that same light offshore.
The whole second week is stacked. There's a huge day on Sunday, 13 September with 8ft+ SSW and SW swells, and the energy is off the charts at 5052. All the way through to Tuesday, 15 September, we're seeing consistent 7ft to 8ft swells, offshore winds, and that beautiful reef handling the long-period energy perfectly. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, but with this quality of swell, it's worth the company.
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.
