Week crowdFew surfers
Week-end crowd
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
Atmosphere
Mellow people, off the regular Indo travelroutes.
Long mellow wave,the bigger the better the longer, holds easy triple overhead (then quite heavy)
Needs a good swell, because smaler swell window than other Indospots.
General
It is worth a trip!

fun wave - the average height of the waves here are about shoulder high and the wave has two section's the top being the point its pretty easy to surf nice wave if you like to smack the lip and do carves and the mountain being a more of a fast section that you have to race to the end it gets pretty shallow on the end bit so look out. the point is always crowded especially in the afternoon easy 20 to 30 in the water all up at the point , the mountain is always less crowded if there's 30 on the point than maybe there's 15 surfers on the mountain , the vibe in the water is mellow lots of people sharing and giving waves away but you do get the rare Brazilian snake in the water .

Fun wave - I spent a few months here in the late 90's. It doesn't barrel, but it is a long ride and and handles any size swell. I had quite a few 6-8ft days and then some bigger. Gets a lot of swell. Wasn't really crowded so to speak. 10 ppl out would be a lot. Mostly oz dropouts whacked out on mushrooms or weirdo's married to locals. Water is way colder than Bali. It about a 800m paddle out to the reef. Boa nearby is a good right, but gets blown out by mid-morning.
If you see them washing the horses in the sea -they are going to eat them...

T-Land - The wave is really fat, even when is big and thats only 1 or 2 times a year. Full of French Kants too. Malaria was rife when i was there and a local died. Theres better places in Indo.
