Afulu (North Nias)
In northern Nias, or an
hour's drive from Asu, you'll find waves like a carved solid. Although the
waves are usually smaller and slightly lighter than its neighbors but the waves

3. The
island of Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan, Bali
No doubt, the charm of the beach in
Bali is always enticing anyone who came, including the world's surfers. The
most popular place to surf is Nusa Penida and Nusa Lembongan. Nusa Penida is an
island located in southeastern Queensland, separated by Badung Strait.
The
waters on the island of Nusa Penida region is famous for diving in Penida Bay,
Manta Point, Batu wrapped, Stone Barn, Batu Abah, Toyapakeh, and Malibu Point.
Usually, the surfer who comes will find its own spot in order to enjoy the cool
ocean waves without the interference of others. In addition to Nusa Penida, a
place that has high waves and surfing is fun to be a place Nusa Lembongan,
located not far from Nusa Penida.
Bali has so many benefits to anyone planning a
surfing adventure to offer, it’s hard to know where to start. What about the
fact that you can get around the whole island in one day so if you know where
the big waves break, it’s easy to make your way there. Or how about the fact
that you do not need wet suit, because the waters around Bali the average
temperature is comfortable in the low to mid 20 degrees Celsius
4. Coast of
the Mentawai, West Sumatra
The next
rank was occupied by the beach in the Mentawai islands. Mentawai already the
best surf spots on the island of Sumatra. Ranks of the islands in the Mentawai
Islands, a paradise of world-class surfers. Wave height is easy to find in this
place. No wonder that the Mentawai always crowded with surfers. The location is
a favorite of surfers is the beach on the island of Siberut. To go to Mentawai,
you can get through two pathways, namely sea and air.
Thunders Left
Being broadly exposed to the southwest and a little
farther off the Sumatran mainland, it's possibly the most consistent break in
the whole chain. It's a left that superficially resembles Lance's Lefts, but
upon investigation, shows itself to be a very complicated lineup, with
numerous takeoff spots and massive inconsistencies in the reef.
Wave choice becomes a very broad and open game, with wide easy faces and tight
hollow barrels all over the place. Most waves tend to find their way into a
peaky inside section and an eventual collapse onto craggy coral. Thunders shows
better form early in a rising swell, when its true nature as one of the better
large waves in the region becomes clear -- a solid, slabby wall bleeds quickly
into a swinging hollow peak, which reforms on to the inside. Some surfers have
been lured way up the line on less consistent days -- generally they've found
themselves to have been magnificently sucked in by mirage-like dreams of barrel
sections, which don't actually exist.
On the next island North of Thunders lies one
of the best rights in the islands, perhaps the world, on its day -- Rags Right,
a rifling cylinder across nearly bare coral where 10- to
15-second tubes are a serious possibility. But be warned, this is a place for
super-skilled surfers only, unless you enjoy the sensation of being cleanly
stripped of flesh. On big days Rags Left rivals G-Land for picture
perfect long barreling sections and a wall that looks like Jefferies Bay in
reverse.
◦ Consistency: 9 to 10
◦ Difficulty: medium to high
◦ Danger factor: medium
◦ Barrel factor: medium
Macaronis Left
Macaroni's, more commonly referred to as
'Maccas', has been overwhelmingly voted the world’s most enjoyable wave
by 50 of the world’s best surfers and industry figureheads. 76% of all
surveyed, goofy and natural footers agreed; Macaroni's is the funnest wave they
had ever ridden (refer to ‘Waves’ magazine, December edition 2003).
Macaronis is tucked inside several other reef layers
near a lovely green-water bay that makes a beautiful calm overnight anchorage.
This, plus the wave quality and ease of riding, makes Macas the target zone for
almost every boat captain in the islands. The wave itself is
a sectionless left peeling across a curved limestone-coral shelf that slopes up
out of the water at an almost offensively perfect angle. An occasionally
complex takeoff resolves swiftly into a long hollow wall with curves suited to
any turn or tube you'd care to imagine.
Theoretically, Macaronis has an upper limit around 6
feet, but has been known to hold bigger in perfect conditions. One
drawback for the less-skilled surfer is that takeoff zone: like most excellent
waves, Macas is not friendly to people who try to pick up the wave farther down
the line, having by then established its dredging flow. Getting in from the
start is the key to Macaronis' magic.
◦ Difficulty: easy to medium
◦ Danger factor: medium
◦ Barrel factor: high
Lance's Left
Facing almost directly into the prevailing southwest
swell, Lance's Left is a "go-to" wave, easily ridden by all but
the least competent surfers, yet challenging the skilled to a
couple of deeper takeoff zones and accompanying barrels. It's a broad shelving
reef that curves through around 45 degrees into an eventual
closeout across jagged inside coral, but poses little danger, thanks to
numerous easy exit points throughout the ride. When a new swell hits Lance's
Left, it can take on the best attributes of Grajagan's Moneytrees section --
slabby, thick takeoffs, broad faces and a nice blend of barrel and rippability.
It'll keep up this action into the 10-foot zone on a fresh swell before mushing
out wide into the adjoining deep water. On smaller swells, that original
takeoff zone mellows into a softer, playful drop and swinging peak that beckons
the surfer farther and farther down the line, while a new
section -- long, thin and cylindrical -- pops up way over near the outside dry
reef. This new section is deceptive and should be left to the highly skilled;
it conceals a grand risk of coral burn.
Other than that, it's a great starter wave for a
Mentawais trip and often treated as such by captains good and otherwise.
◦ Consistency: 8 to 10
◦ Difficulty: easy to medium
◦ Danger factor: low to medium
◦ Barrel factor: medium
Lance's Right
Lance's Right or Hollow Trees, more commonly referred
to as "HT's" has been voted one of the top ten waves in the world.
Mentawai veterans call it the office... they like to park in the keyhole and
surf all day... and call that a job! The wave wraps 180 Deg and actually breaks
almost due south after bending, warping and amplifying around the south tip of
Sipura. A freak of nature and a very special place. Wide sets can be fat and
easy to make but everything else is fast hollow and almost mechanically
perfect. The screamers across the reef can reward and they can punish. A wave
to elevate your surfing skills if you can face the drop and believe in
yourself.
◦ Consistency: 9 to 10
◦ Difficulty: medium to high
◦ Danger factor: medium to high
◦ Barrel factor: high
5. Grajagan
beach, Banyuwangi
Apparently
Banyuwangi has many of the best surfing. After Plengkung Coast, now Grajagan

From a series of dots
surfing in Indonesia, the G-Land has its own place in the hearts of the
professional surfers. Big waves and consistent is the result of the influence
of the Antarctic current, borne by the Indian Ocean. With the right corner of
the bay, the waves generated is perfect.
A consistent series of
large waves appeared from April to September. If the full moon appears, the
surfers will rejoice because the waves are getting higher!
However, fierce waves
G-Land is not only enjoyed by professional surfers only. Beginner surfers who
are hungry can also taste the current challenges that he said best in the
world.
G-Land most easily reached

fauna, one of which is a tiger.

you can choose the Surf Camp Grajagan scattered throughout the Gulf, of course,
with relatively low prices.
