Common questions
How big does Padang Padang need to be?
A solid dry-season swell - roughly double overhead at Uluwatu next door - before it breaks properly. On smaller days only the inside works, and that is a different, softer wave.
What tide is best at Padang Padang?
Low to mid. It needs shallow water to barrel, which is also what makes it dangerous.
Is Padang Padang good for beginners?
No - it is the Balinese Pipeline: a short, very shallow left barrel with a narrow takeoff. Experienced surfers only, and the queue is long.
How do I get to Padang Padang?
Steps down through the rock from the road on the Bukit; a small entry fee at the top. The beach is tiny and busy.
