This morning, our beginner surfers braved the out-of-season rain and paddled out to Baby Padang. Despite the rain, the surfers had a great time surfing the waist-high inside reform of the surf break as the larger sets broke on the outside. The swell has picked up considerably overnight, approaching the double overhead range at the standout spots. The offshore tropical system caused the wind to blow slightly onshore; however, the protected wave at Padang Padang remained clean.

Unlike in many Western countries or densely populated areas, there is no issue with surfing in the rain here.
