The Surf

The vessel sails and surfs the Nusa Tenggara chain of islands in Eastern Indonesia with emphasis on the islands of Timor, Roti, Savu, Sumba, Sumbawa as well as many other small islands in the vicinity. Many are truly "secret spots" & some of the best and least crowded in the world. Over 25 breaks, some world class with Hawaiian power.

Everything from long reef points to super hollow reef provides a variety of surf for everyone, from shortboard rippers to longboarders. In this area the close proximity of the breaks makes checking out the surf easy in our fast dinghys. Many of the breaks are only a short paddle away from the anchorages and easily viewed from the deck.

Depending on the strength of the trade winds we can travel west to Sumba, surfing off the small islands on the way. These surf spots are so remote that there has never been a photo of them published anywhere. Known only to a few hardy explorers the waves we will bring you to are consistent, powerful, and uncrowded!

Nusa Tenggara has surf all year round, generated by powerful Indian Ocean ground swells from the S and SW, but the peak swell period is April-October. From May-September, the dominant winds are the SE trades.

Roti and Outer Islands in particular consist mainly of limestone hills that are starkly barren for most of the year when the SE trade winds blow strong and scour the sky of all moisture. This of course coincides with the southern hemisphere winter swell season. The bluewater waves, constant sunshine, steady offshores, hot sand and palm groves that grace most beaches becomes one of those stereotyped DAYDREAMS COME TO LIFE. Most of the surfers who travel to these islands pinch themselves at moments to see if they are really awake…

Roti Island

• Nembrala: Roti’s best known surf spot. It is a long left that captures and holds any size swell. Fun under 8 feet, but best from 8 feet and up. Over 10 feet it is one of the best, perfect big wave spots in Indo. 
  
• T-Lands: a huge left hander
  
• + Other good waves in the area (rights & lefts) 

Outer Islands

• Secret Spot #1: hollow left 
  
• Secret Spot #2: hollow left long/fast down the line 
  
• Secret Spot #3: perfect hollow right and hollow left 
  
• Secret Spot #4: fun/semilong righthander with some hollow sections 

Sumba island

• God’s left: A long and barreling lefthander, extremely fast and good, can break for 200 meters + down the reef. A racy and hollow wave 4-12ft+. Experienced surfers only. Easily blown out by SE trades.
• Wanukaka: A good righthander. When its small there is a fun break close to the beach. When it’s big it lines up well from way outside and is quite a long and challenging wave. Wind protected. 
• Millers Rights: A great righthand reef/point wave that is not too challenging for your average surfer. Picks up a lot of swell and is set in an amazingly beautiful bay with rain forest coming all the way down to the beach. 
• Other breaks depending on conditions and we feel that to name or describe the exact location is unnecessary and leads to overexposure…
