Padang Padang

Padang Padang only begins to work when there is a big swell running. A sealed road now takes you all the way to the top of the stairs that lead down to a beautiful white sandy beach in front of the reef. An easy paddle out to the break through the channel.

Season - Dry Season (May - October)
Swell Direction - South
Ideal Size - 5 - 8ft
Best Winds - South East Trade Winds
Break - Padang Padang can get extremely crowded when it is working and this is due to it's fame and popularity with surfers.  With a large crowd it is not hard for tempers to flare up and arguments begin which are often caused by drop-ins. Best time to catch a wave at this break when conditions are right is early in the morning.  A great wave and one that you will long remember.
