IF YOU ARE LUCKY YOU WILL FIND THE PLACE AND PARK YOUR CAR WITH THE PERMISSION OF THE LAND OWNER IN FRONT OF THE SPOT. IF THERE IS NO ONE IN THE LINE UP IT WILL BE A LITTLE HARD TO LOCATE THE RIGHT TAKE OFF POINT.BUT WHEN YOU TAKE THE RITHIM IT WILL BE A VERY NICE RIDE WITH VERY STRONG AND FAST WALLS AND OCCASIONAL TUBES. IT WILL BE PERFECT IN A NO WIND DAY WHAT IS NOT SO COMMON IN THE REGION. BUT IT IS RIDEABLE WITH WIND, WHICH IS ALMOST ALWAYS ON SHORE, AS WELL. TAKE CARE WITH THE DROP (A REAL LAUNCHING PAD) UNTIL YOU REALLY ARE ON IT. IF YOU FIND WHERE THE PLACE IS PLEASE DONT FUCK IT UP.
We normally surf to the right of the village (where we park). There are man-made barrier cement blocks to protect the village from floods, and we usually surf to the east of these. Typically where the mouth of the (sometimes dry) river dumps to the ocean, either side works. This is usually an off-season surf spot (June-October) since during the main season (Nov-May) the surf gets too big and sloppy, making it too difficult to get past the breakers.
This area has heaps of potential from Nov-March. No surfers at all. Really feels as though you are pioneering which we probably were. Discovered by Hemisphere crew, Gavin Foxall, Arturo Bonomo and Adam Bartley Smith
Best surfed at a rising tide with a swell from the north or northwest at over a meter (around 5 feet seems to be great). When the tide is receding the brackish water from a reservoir sometimes dumps back into the beach messing up the wave and muddying the water.
Anchored in a nearby bay, we took a small jet boat exploring and discovered this left hander breaking off the end of the reef. We have the feeling that nobody has ever surfed here before. Discovered by Hemisphere Crew Gavin Foxall, Arturo Bonomo and Adam Bartley Smith
The largest swell only arrives from the South China Sea in Jan to March Monsoon and is about c.2ft with onshore breeze. Water is clean. Offshore breeze rest of year and half foot swell.
This spot is notorious for closing out when the waves get bigger. Some spots along the beach offer edges that peel okay, but it really pays to study the waves a little before going in b/c a good portion of the wave closes out while the edges are still surf-able. Car parking is available for Rp25.000-30.000 per car (paid to the land-owner before leaving, they will come and ask for it). Upon entering the road, people will sometimes require a fee to enter the road itself, selling "insurance" (Rp10.000-20.000 per car).
suicide Surf Spot Guide, Indonesia Suicide is a fast, hollow right-hand reef break tucked away in the Mentawai Islands that delivers the kind of challenging waves advanced surfers dream about.
