It's a geniune solid barrel from takeoff. Sucky, and really only surfable on mid to high tide. When it's big the sets can clean you up, breaking way outside and holding big sizes.
There is a second much easier and fatter section about 80m further down, which links up on good days with the outside for a longish ride. This also can have a nice sucky inside section on mid to high tides, on low tide it's too shallow.
The outside is not an easy wave, it shifts around and jacks like nobody's business. Best early morning because the strong winds create unrideable chop on the face in the afternoons.
Indonesian wave finder makes it sound as if this place is a surf paradise. hardly. the wave (The point) is a good makeable wave that i sould see could get really fun given some overhead conditions. the other waves 5-0, race-track, and bang bangs. so called 3 waves, to me seemed like 3 hollow unmakeable closeouts to one wave, even at high tide, mid to low forget it.
Good wave at times if you're looking for a fat, non-barrelling wave.Mostly head-high stuff when there were waves. Long paddle or 20-30 minute trek out at low tide.No secret anymore... had lots of crowds on it most of the time
Pero is a nice little town stay at the only homestay they will cook as well 3 excellent meals a day check the other side of the river and the continuing beaches as well.
The left is very hollow but gets a bit of chop from the trade winds. Low tide too shallow, so from low to mid up. Handles some size but gets heavy, not an easy wave. Doesn't always seem to line up properly.
The right on the other side of the river is short and wonky with the odd barrel, and only handles up to head high or a bit more, before it gets too dangerous, as it breaks in front of rocks. Its also a bit fickle.
