Our beginner surfers returned to Padang Padang this morning where they found a beautiful, sunny day and a bump in swell size! The swell forecast shows 5 ft. at 12 seconds, however the waves were larger today than the day before. Our surfers enjoyed many attempts at going both left and right on the shoulder-high waves. The easy, rolling waves provided ample oportunities for a developing surfer to begin to gain an understanding of the balance and control of their surfboard as it moves through the water.

Padang Padang is the perfect beginner wave. Its protected, slow-rolling waves move at the perfect pace to allow a surfer to develop their skill set. The surface of the ocean and the wave faces are often cleaner than other breaks as the wave is tucked in behind a headland. Additionally, the current directs you back out to the lineup after a wave!
