Park at medewi lefts and walk south approx 400m until the beach turns from rock to sand at the rivermouth. Paddle out in the rip where sand and rocks meet, The rip will pull you around over the rock bottom and the rights break nicely across this section.
Get in before 10am before the winds.
Atmosphere
This place is more powerful and hollow wave than medewi lefts. It has easier access in and out than medewi due to sand bottom. It does however work very rarely and is often just a closeout. Beware of rivermouth pollution responsible for eye and ear infections.

stupidassmofo!!!!!!!! - If you insist on posting a spot get the facts straight. First of all its PULUKAN dumbass!!! That and the fact that you posted it as an inconsistent wave for experienced surfers. It is one of the most consistent and fun waves in the area, for all, my grandmother or even a fricken one legged retard could surf here.The only thing you got right was the water quality can be sketchy, especially in the wet season. Have fun Aloha.

- Not a bad wave, however the the water is dirty, as the locals crap in the river mouth in the morning so expect ear infections. There are far better waves to surf in Bali!
