Conditions at Padang Padang in August
August: Maximum Consistency and XXL Potential
August picks up right where July left off. Average swell height remains at a pumping 7ft (2.2m), period holds at 14.4s, and the window of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) accounts for over three-quarters of the distribution - with 42% in the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) class and a few bombs above 8ft (2.5m). The direction is beautifully concentrated in the SSW (49.7%) and S (24.3%), giving the reef more than enough energy to stand up. Wind is still offshore from the ESE (54.2%) and SE (32.5%), and the ideal wind percentage recovers to 49% as some of the stronger gusts ease. With only 0.65mm of rain, air temps of 25.5°C and water at 26.7°C, August is arguably the most reliable month of the year for consistent, powerful surf.
