About Padang Padang
Padang Padang is a surf spot on the Bukit Peninsula in the south of Bali, Indonesia, a short way along the coast from Uluwatu. The wave breaks over a shallow coral reef and runs to the left as a surfer rides it towards the shore, and it is often described as fast and hollow when a large swell is running. Surfers and spectators reach the small beach below through a gap in the rocks and down a stairway, which is part of what makes the spot well known. Waves are usually most consistent in the dry season, typically from around April to October, when swells arrive from the Indian Ocean. Professional contests have been held here. The reef is considered very shallow and the wave is generally regarded as suited to experienced surfers, while the beach itself is popular with visitors who come only to watch.
