Padang Padang Surf Report and Spot Info

It wasn’t the biggest swell of the year, but Padang Padang was glassy and perfect this morning for the group of surfers which included none other than the Kelly Slater himself

The crowd was relatively small and the waves were absolutely pumping as huge green barrels thundered down the reef and into the channel which was packed with water photographers

There were a few wipeouts and a few dodgy drop-ins but, in general, an absolute barrel-riding display being put on by all

The swell should still be around tomorrow so check back again to find out what goes down during tomorrow morning’s session.

We took the camera to Padang Padang this morning to catch some of the bombs being ridden at the peak of the current swell

There was a small crowd in the water on bodyboards, surfboards and SUPs as waves in the overhead to well overhead range were pounding down the reef

The conditions weren’t quite perfect with the barrels often sectioning or pinching but everyone was giving their best efforts to make it to the channel unscathed

On the afternoon of what some were calling ‘Big Saturday’, the ocean was putting on a show as Bali’s reefs took a pounding by the biggest swell of the year to date

The show started with some monster tow and paddle waves at Uluwatu’s Bombie and Outside Corner, and we finished on the cliffs overlooking Padang Padang

In the third and final phase of the easing of Bali’s lockdown, the island will officially open its borders again for oversea tourists on September 11th.

With a solid swell hitting Bali today, we took a drive along the coast from Padang Padang to Dreamland to see what was going down at some of the most popular local breaks

Although the size of the swell didn’t disappoint, the wind wasn’t quite right which meant there were more turns than barrels at Bingin, a couple of big cleanup sets, and all the breaks were a little wild and unpredictable.

If and when the wind changes direction and straightens everything out later today, expect everywhere to be pumping!

We took the camera along with us this evening to one of our favourite local spots where the only thing better than the cocktails is the view.

With a very solid swell hitting Bali at the moment, the world-famous Padang Padang left-hander was throwing out some sizeable barrels which were being skillfully navigated by a crowd of around ten.

In the opposite direction, some chunky sets were rolling down the Impossibles reef in the ‘well overhead’ range with surfers enjoying some leg-achingly-long rides.

We’re too busy enjoying the uncrowded world-class waves for now so our regular daily surf report remains on hold but keep your eyes peeled for more regular updates soon.

This morning our beginner group headed to Padang Padang — our local beach, less than 1km down the road — for their semi-private surfing lesson.

The conditions weren’t as clean as they might have been due to the light onshore wind, but the waves on offer were still perfect for a first surf lesson; breaking at around knee-high and peeling softly to the beach.

With Bali as quiet as it currently is, if you can find a way to get yourself here, there’s never been a better time to learn to surf.

This morning our beginner group made the short journey to sunny Padang Padang beach for their first session of surf lessons.

It was a beautiful morning with conditions being just about perfect for learners with clean waves breaking around knee height.

After  a break, our beginners surfed again at Padang Padang for their second session whilst our intermediate/advanced group surfed at Greenbowl and Uluwatu

This morning our beginners group headed down the road to Padang Padang — our local beach — for their first session of private surfing lessons.

Watched on by the resident monkeys, time was spent on the beach getting accustomed to the perfect popup technique before moving into the water to put that practice to the test.

As you can see from the gallery, there were some impressive rides in the clean, knee to chest-high conditions — a testament to both the fast-learning of our guests and the teaching of our expert instructors.
