With a rising swell and a beautiful morning, our beginner surfers paddled out at Padang Padang bright and early to get their share of fun waves. A few larger sets would come occasionally; however, the waves were mostly in the head-high range. Some surfers opted to surf the inside section, where the wave reforms into a slower wave. The tide was just high enough for safe surfing, and the wind was blowing lightly sideshore. The wave faces were plenty clean, and the surfers were able to get fun rides going both left and right.

As you can see from our surf reports, the rain has not yet arrived. Bali is currently experiencing a drought resulting from El Nino conditions. The Bukit peninsula has only seen a few days with rainfall.
