The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s have a look. We’ve only got one spot lighting things up over the next couple of weeks, and it’s a classic. The water temp here is 78°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing too crazy on that front.
Padang Padang (Indonesia) is an advanced reef break, and it’s inconsistent, so when it fires, you really have to be on your toes. And fire it does. Starting Wednesday afternoon (August 19th), we’re looking at a solid 8ft SSW groundswell with a long 17-second period. That’s some serious energy – combined energy is at 4140, which is strong. It’s got moderate offshore wind from the ESE, which will keep the faces clean. This is the standout of the whole window; it’s big, it’s clean, and it’s powerful. Only for experienced surfers, and crowds are possible here.
That sets the tone for a run that lasts right through. Thursday (August 20th) and Friday (August 21st) keep the size in the 8ft to 8ft range, still with good SW direction and clean offshore breezes. The energy stays in the strong zone, all in the thousands. We see a slight dip on Saturday (August 22nd) and Sunday (August 23rd), with swell dropping to 6ft to 7ft, but still plenty of push and the same clean offshores. It’s still excellent.
The second week starts strong. Monday (August 24th) through Wednesday (August 26th) has consistent 5ft to 6ft SSW swell, still with those steady ESE/SE offshores. The combined energy is still moderate to strong, ranging from 1383 to 1816. We get a bit of a drop Thursday morning (August 27th) to 4ft, but then Friday (August 28th) brings a great pulse again – 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and light cross-offshore winds. That’s a super clean and powerful day. Then Saturday (August 29th) and Sunday (August 30th) ease off a bit, with Sunday afternoon showing a very long period 22-second swell, but only 2ft – tells you how inconsistent the sets could be.
We end the run on a high note. Monday, August 31st, and Tuesday, September 1st, both bring solid 7ft to 8ft SW swell with 17 to 19-second periods. The combined energy jumps back up to over 3200, very strong. The wind stays favorable, offshore. We then see it gradually taper off through Wednesday and Thursday (September 2nd and 3rd), finishing at 5ft to 5ft. There’s a solid 16-day outlook here, but the standout is definitely that Wednesday opening – big, clean Padang Padang at its best.

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.
