Padang Padang is a reef break left hander barrel is known as the Balinese pipeline and breaks very similar to it’s more famous cousin in Hawaii. Padang Padang season comes from July to September most of the swell at that time is big good for Uluwatu area especially for Padang Padang surf break, particularly at low tide. The take off is relatively easy and it’s about positioning yourself for the inevitable barrel which is fast and furious. The end section tends to pinch so a clean exit is not always possible and on lower tides it is deadly shallow with the added complexity of a strong rip.

Paddling to the lineup is very easy there has a big chanel you just need to paddle to the Chanel and let the rip current take you out. The reverse is the case of paddling back in and on bigger days even the professional surfers can struggle against the fast flowing water. If low tide shallow reef is not your thing then be careful at higher tides as you don’t want to join the unlucky surfers who have been slammed against the rocks on the inside.
