Padang Padang Surf Report and Spot Info

Our beginner surfers enjoyed a fun session at Padang Padang this morning! The surfers braved an early morning rain shower, and were rewarded with excellent surf. The waves have dropped in size since yesterday, with the biggest of set waves around head-high. The wind was blowing lightly offshore. The waves were clean and fun, and were breaking in clean, long lines. The waves were moving at just the right pace for beginner surfing, with the rights moving at a slower pace than the lefts.

The surfers worked on learning to ride the waves in the functional stance, which is the key to surfing progression. Surfing with the functional stance is the key to making progress as a surfer. See you in the line-up!

After a few days of wild weather and the complete silence of Nyepi, we are back at it with good conditions and sunshine! Our surfers were keen to get out there this morning as the conditions had cleaned up beautifully and the wind had turned offshore! There were plenty of waves thanks to a combination of swells in the water. The surf was in the head-high + range with a few larger set waves. The waves were breaking nice and slow- at the perfect pace for our beginner surfers to find their balance.

During Nyepi, we went over core techniques at the surf camp such as paddling, the pop-up, and the functional stance for developing surfers, so our beginners were prepared for the day ahead.

Fun beginner surfing conditions this morning at the beautiful Padang Padang Beach! The surf has picked up in size since yesterday, with the waves breaking up to shoulder-high in height. The wind from the west is blowing stronger today than yesterday, however the conditions were still clean. The tide was moving quickly today, which exposed the fresh surfers to the ever-changing nature of the ocean. The surfers all had a great time.

The surfers worked on getting into the functional stance from the pop-up, which is an essential step towards progressing beyond a beginner level. Once you have developed the ability to ride from the top of the wave in the functional stance, a new level of control and speed becomes available to you.

Wonderful beginner surf conditions this morning! We have an overcast day today with mixed weather conditions, which is great news for those who know where and when to surf. Our beginner surfers enjoyed an easy, relaxed day in the line-up, with a light crowd and fun conditions. The surface of the ocean was very smooth and calm, with just a touch of wind from the west. The waves were breaking at about waist-high, which is a good size for just learning to stand up.

These are great conditions for learning to surf. The waves were coming in at a slow pace, and all broke in a consistent manner. Slow and consistent surf is the perfect platform to improve your surfing.

The protected cove at Padang Padang offered ideal beginner surf conditions for our group of budding surfers this morning. The wave is just tucked in enough to be protected from the southwest wind, and yet it still picks up the smaller swells. Our surfers enjoyed waist-high waves, moving along at the perfect pace for finding your balance on the waves. There was a little wind farther offshore; however, the conditions were clean, with a calm sea state and smooth wave faces. The surfers enjoyed the lighter crowd- a big benefit to coming to Bali during the quiet season.

The surfers all relished the long rides and easy-breaking nature of the wave. The wave itself breaks with a remarkable consistency, which is a key factor in developing your surfing ability.

More excellent surfing on this first day of the new year! The swell is up, and we had a big rainshower in the morning. Once the tide came up and after a New Year’s sleep-in, our beginner surfers were out at Padang Padang. There were some overhead set waves with plenty of shoulder-high waves in between the bigger sets. After the rainshower, the wind switched offshore, and with the lineup smoothed by the rain, the conditions were excellent. Our surfers were able to link up some long rides after having excellent practice at the lengthy right-handers at Toro-Toro.

Happy New Year’s Day to all! We extend our sincere thanks to everyone who surfed with us last year. Anticipate an exciting 2024 as we look forward to the adventures that lie ahead.

Excellent beginner surf conditions this morning! Our surfers waited for the tide to come up, where they found beautiful, easy-breaking waves at Padang Padang. As a bonus, we enjoyed a late-season offshore wind, which is when the wind blows against the waves. This has the affect of holding the wave face up for longer, delaying the crest of the wave. This gives you more room on the wave, resulting in longer rides at Padang Padang.

The beginner surfers worked on getting to their feet and controlling their surfboard. Something that is more easily done when the wave is as long as it is at Padang Padang. Additionally, every wave breaks in a similar way, which further speeds up the time it takes to get up and riding with control.

Our beginner surfers rose before the sunrise to catch excellent surf at the perfect beginner surfing wave – Baby Padang. The surf did not disappoint this morning as we enjoyed fun waves with a light offshore wind. The waves came in at about shoulder-high with a few larger sets, which is a great size for improving your skills. Both the lefts and the rights were working great today! The rights offered clean rides with a reform section on some of the waves (making for extra long rides). While the lefts offered slower, tapered walls, which were ideal for learning to ride along the wave face with control of your board.

There are still plenty of excellent surfing opportunities here in Bali. Bali offers excellent conditions all year long. Let’s go!
