Best swell
SSE to NW
A long, fast left running along nearly a kilometre of reef between Padang Padang and Bingin, with several peaks that occasionally link on the right swell. The outer peaks break best at mid to high tide, while the inside section can run on any tide and is best at dead low. It rewards strong paddlers who can make the racy walls, and needs a south-west swell, ideally 5 ft and up. Best through the dry season from April to October.
Heads up. Shallow reef, long paddle, strong currents, sections close out.

AboutThe swell is locked in from the south-west at a solid 2.2 metre period, wrapping into the reef exactly as it should, and the 17-second interval is long enough to build proper walls across the outer peaks and down the inside sections. Wind is currently light and offshore from the east, holding the faces clean, though it was even lighter at dawn. You're looking at overhead high waves today with this swell angle and wind direction, suited to confident and experienced surfers who can handle real power and pace.
The rest of the morning into early afternoon holds firm, with the wind swinging slightly more east-south-east by around 3pm but staying offshore and building to 20 kilometres per hour. The swell fills in a fraction as the day ages, touching overhead high again in the afternoon window, before the quality window closes around 2pm as the tide and wind shift begins to work against you.
Tomorrow the swell peaks again and looks genuinely epic, probably in the overhead high range with the best shape and size in the morning before the wind turns. The read is firm enough to plan around, though the ocean will settle into its own rhythm once you're out there regardless of what the models promise.
