Padang Padang Surf Spot Info, Report and Forecast

Our beginner surfers had a fun session at Baby Padang this morning. With the swell dropping to shoulder-high after two days of bigger surf, the waves were just the right size for everyone to enjoy. The light offshore breeze and clear water made for perfect conditions. The rights offered mellow, easy rides, ideal for surfers just learning to control their surfboard. The lefts offered rides with a bit more speed, which morphed into longer waves for those who could make the reform section.

It was a great day for improving skills and having a blast in the lineup. Tomorrow is looking just as good. Come and join us!
