The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what’s cooking for Padang Padang over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but hold onto your boards because the back half of this outlook is where the magic happens. The water temp is sitting right about average for this time of year, which is nothing to write home about but it just means you don’t need a bootie.
We’re looking at a gap right off the bat. The Thursday and Friday of this week are offering some clean lines and offshore breeze, but the wave quality is iffy—tide issues are spoiling the party. Saturday the 27th of July brings a jump in size, but that short-period, 9-second windswell mixed with strong wind just makes for a messy, poor session. Honestly, that period up to the 29th is pretty forgettable. Sunday the 28th is a bit smaller and cleaner with some strong offshore wind, but the wave comment says “marginal,” so don’t get your hopes up.
Now, for the real news. If you can wait, the absolute standout arrives on the 2nd of August. That Sunday is shaping up to be electric. We’re looking at a solid 7 ft groundswell coming straight from the SSW with a long 16-second period. The wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE (12 mph), and it’s big, clean, and powerful—expert territory for sure. For the advanced crew, this is the one.
The momentum carries right through the start of the next week. Monday the 3rd of August sees 7 ft SSW swell with solid period (15-16 seconds) and light offshore winds. It’s still a big, solid groundswell. This is prime Padang. Tuesday the 4th holds on, but it’s starting to drop a touch with 6 ft swell.
Later in the week, Thursday the 6th of August looks like another cracker. The swell bumps back up to 6-6 ft from the SSW, the period lengthens to 18 seconds, and we’re back to that clean offshore breeze. Expect long, powerful lines. Friday the 7th keeps the party going with a solid 7 ft, though it’s still an expert show.
All in all, the first week is a wash. The second week, especially starting from the 1st of August, is where we get the real deal. This is a long-range promise, but the models are locking in for a good one.
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.
