Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
The 'Balinese Pipeline': a perfect, short tube over a coral slab, only works with size. Experts only.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
Experts only. Highly committing waves, technical demands, serious risk. Solid experience required.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Padang Padang is rather recommended for expert surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Padang Padang comes broadly from East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Padang Padang, you can also check conditions at Impossibles, Bingin, Uluwatu. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
