The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this outlook, and it’s a world-class jewel that demands respect.
We’re looking at a solid run of quality groundswell heading into Padang Padang, a tricky reef setup that’s inconsistent and only for advanced surfers. The water temperature is sitting at 80°F, which is about average for this time of year. The first few days up to Thursday, July 30th, are a bit of a tease. Morning sessions on Tuesday the 28th offer 3ft of SSW swell with a long 16-second period, and the ESE wind is blowing offshore at 22 mph, keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 758. But the comment says it’s marginal, so don’t expect perfection.
The real spark starts to show on Friday, July 31st. The swell is still a playful 4ft from the SSW, but the period jumps to 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. The wind swings to a lighter SE at 12 mph, still offshore, and the sky is clear. The wave energy is moderate (1471), and the conditions are being called excellent for experienced surfers. This is a standout window for the week.
But hold onto your board shorts, because the real fireworks are in the second week. Saturday, August 1st, the afternoon session sees the swell bump to 6ft from the SSW, with an 18-second period and a massive jump in energy to 2301 (moderate-strong). Still offshore winds. Excellent conditions.
Then we get a bit of a cross-offshore wind on Sunday the 2nd, with 7ft swell, but it cleans up again on Monday the 3rd. The run from Thursday, August 6th, into the weekend of August 9th and 10th is where the big boy stuff comes in. August 7th afternoon has 10ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds, with a combined energy of 4006 (strong). That’s expert territory only. The wind is offshore and clean. Friday, August 9th afternoon, keeps that 10ft size with a 17-second period and a massive 4660 energy reading. Unreal power.
The absolute standout of the entire 16-day window looks like Wednesday, August 12th. The morning session has 10ft of SSW swell, a 17-second period, and a touch of gentle SE offshore wind at 9 mph. The energy is a massive 4346 (strong), and the forecast is calling it excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle on the calendar if you’re a charger. Just remember, it’s a reef, it’s inconsistent, and it’s always for experts only. The crowds here can be a factor at times, especially when it’s this good.
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.
