Swell size is a little smaller today, perfect size at our go to beginners spot Padang Padang rights, also known as baby Padang. We are so lucky to be located just 2 minutes from a perfect beginner wave which is never flat. The advantage of learning to surf in Bali is that the waves are consistent and high quality. It is also much easier without the restricted movement and weight of a wetsuit.

Weather is partially sunny: as always in dry season, the sunshine is interspersed with some cloud cover. Wind is light offshore which is typical for April, and perfect for surfing.

Another sunny morning in Paradise and the waves did not disappoint us! Perfect offshore wind conditions and a solid swell delivered consistently head-high sets. Great to practice catching waves and first turns on the many right or left-handers.

Although the perfect conditions attract more people, professional guidance helps you to catch waves on the right spot in the line-up. At first, this can be difficult when surfing on a new surf spot for the first time, but once you get used to it you will be catching waves yourself in no time! This is what makes Padang-Padang so special, the consistency of waves and opportunities to improve your surfing skills.

Swell size is smaller today – perfect size for beginner and intermediate surfers. This morning we took the short 2 minute ride to baby Padang, which is our go to spot for beginners and improvers. There was very little wind and a slight bump on the wave face, but very good conditions for riding your first green waves. At this size swell on a high tide, the waves break very mellow and the rides are long enough to improve your stance and balance as you progress through the ride. The wave eventually fattens out in deep water and there is a deep water channel that makes it easy to get back in the line up. Relatively uncrowded and lots of waved and fun was had by all our students.

Surfing in the afternoon or late evening in Padang Padang can be magical. When the wind stops blowing and the sun sets, glassy wave conditions are not unusual. Often it can be better than in the morning due to a smaller crowd in the water.

Even though the waves were not perfectly glassy at this time, the lack of other surfers out there made it easy for us to catch many waves. The beautiful view of the sunset combined with the fun waves makes this experience very memorable. A cold Bintang or Coconut on the beach after the surf session is a great way to end the day.
