 Access

Difficult to find and to get to (>1 hour drive from Scar Reef), not far from a large cement factory (the GPS location given here is not certain-but its one of the headlands in this area). Only works when the swell is 223mag+ or more and sizey, needs a lot of west in the swell to get this far up the coast.

 Additional Information

It's way up the west coast (about 2 hours drive) on a dodgy road, and has several names. Only works when the swell is at least ~223 or more mag west, don't bother otherwise, which is only a handful or so times a season. But it's worth it, as it is apparently an awesome world class wave.

Atmosphere

Big left rears up near the headland, with a big hollow sucky takeoff which then backs off with long high smooth walls which zip along a reef and break a long way left. World class. Also breaks right (?on the other side of the headland) occasionally. Needs a sizey west swell.

General

Apparently one of the best waves on its day in eastern Indonesia, but it only breaks properly maybe a handful of times a season. It has a local name I'm not aware of, but its not far from a prominent Cement Factory. You can drive there on a dodgy road (2 hours) but it's not easy to find.

Make sure the swell is at least 223mag and sizey. A local expat in Sumbawa said it was his favorite and the best wave in Sumbawa, if you want to try- ask around.
