Uluwatu
type: TouristAttraction
description: Uluwatu is Bali's most famous wave, a long, walling left-hander that breaks over a shallow reef at the base of dramatic limestone cliffs. The wave offers multiple sections—from the Outside Corner through Temples, the Racetrack, and finally the Inside—allowing for rides of 100+ meters on a good day. The trade winds blow offshore here during the dry season (April-October), creating perfect glassy conditions most mornings. Entry and exit are via a cave in the cliff face, adding to the adventure. The surrounding clifftop temples and warungs make it a complete surf experience.

G-Land
type: TouristAttraction
description: G-Land (Grajagan) is one of surfing's most revered lefts, hidden in the jungles of Java's remote Alas Purwo National Park. The wave offers multiple world-class sections—from the long walls of Kongs through the barrels of Money Trees, the speed of Launching Pads, down to the intense tubes of Speedies and Tiger Tracks. During the dry season, SE trade winds blow perfectly offshore, grooming these Indonesian gems to perfection. Access is via boat from Bali, and surfers stay at rustic jungle camps where the roar of waves mingles with the sounds of the rainforest. This is raw surfing adventure at its finest.

Padang Padang
type: TouristAttraction
description: Padang Padang is Bali's version of Pipeline—a short, violent, left-hand barrel that explodes over a dangerously shallow reef. Unlike Uluwatu which works on small swells, Padang needs solid 6-foot+ surf to break properly. When it does, it produces some of the most photogenic tubes in Indonesia: thick, round barrels spitting in front of a clifftop temple. The takeoff is critical, the bottom is shallow, and the crowd is intense. Access is via a set of stone steps that wind through a narrow gap in the cliffs. The annual Padang Padang Cup showcases the wave's world-class potential.

HT's
type: TouristAttraction
description: HT's (Hollow Trees, named for the casuarina trees on shore) is the Mentawai Islands' most famous right-hander—a long, mechanical barrel that peels down a pristine coral reef on Lance's Island. The wave offers everything from rippable walls on smaller days to death-defying tubes when it maxes out. Unlike some Mentawai breaks, HT's is remarkably consistent and handles a wide range of swell sizes. The takeoff is predictable, the barrels are forgiving by Indo standards, and the channel makes paddling out relatively easy. Many consider it the best all-round wave in the Mentawais.

Lagundri Bay
type: TouristAttraction
description: Lagundri Bay (The Point, Nias) is one of the world's most celebrated right-hand barrels—a mechanical reef point that produces tube rides of up to 9 seconds when solid SW swells wrap into the bay. The 2004 earthquake actually improved the wave by lifting the reef, making it even hollower. The takeoff is vertical, the tube is cylindrical, and the rides are long. The setting on Nias Island is remote and culturally rich. Getting there requires effort, but the potential for perfect barrels makes it worth every mile.

Greenbush
type: TouristAttraction
description: Greenbush is the Mentawai's heaviest square barrel—a shallow left slab that only works on the highest spring tides but produces some of the thickest tubes in Indonesia when it does. The wave has three powerful sections that connect into an intense, ledging barrel over sharp reef. Timing is everything: show up at new or full moon spring tides, and you might score the wave of your life. Miss the tide window, and it's flat or too shallow to surf. High risk, high reward.

Desert Point
type: TouristAttraction
description: Desert Point is one of the longest, most perfect barrel rides on Earth—and one of the most fickle. When SW swells combine with low tide and offshore winds, this Lombok left produces 300-meter tubes with individual barrels lasting 20+ seconds. But it's a demanding wave: the reef is razor-sharp, the timing must be precise (high tide = flat), and getting it perfect is rare. When it turns on, Desert Point delivers the stuff of dreams—mechanical perfection over shallow coral, far from the Bali crowds.

Impossibles
type: TouristAttraction
description: Impossibles earned its name because it's usually too fast to make—the wave races down a shallow reef so quickly that most sections close out before you can reach them. But with offshore wind holding the lip open, Impossibles transforms into Bali's longest ride: 400 meters from the top section all the way through to Bingin. The wave requires precise conditions and committed surfing. When it connects, it's one of Bali's greatest achievements.

Telescopes

Kandui Left

Uluwatu (Bombie)
type: TouristAttraction
description: Uluwatu Bombie is Bali's big-wave arena—the deep-water outer reef that activates when massive Southern Ocean swells march north. While the famous inside sections of Uluwatu max out at double-overhead, the bombie handles waves up to 40 feet, producing thick, heavy walls that only a handful of local chargers dare tackle. Getting out there requires a long paddle past the cliffs and cave, and getting caught inside is serious business. Bali's heavyweight division.

Bankvaults
type: TouristAttraction
description: Bankvaults is a playful right-hander in the heart of the Mentawai's famous Playgrounds zone—a wave that rewards smooth, flowing surfing with multiple linking sections. The reef setup creates a series of workable walls that connect when the swell direction and tide align, offering opportunities for big carves and occasional tube sections. It's less intense than nearby Lance's Right or Macaronis, making it an excellent option for intermediate to advanced surfers looking for quality waves without the hectic crowds or heavy consequences.

Beng Bengs
type: TouristAttraction
description: Beng Bengs is the friendly left-hander sitting just up the channel from Macaronis, offering a refreshing counterpoint to its world-famous neighbor. Where Maccas is a precise, hollow machine, Beng Bengs is more forgiving—a rippable wall with occasional cover-up sections that welcomes progressive surfing and experimentation. When the Macaronis lineup is stacked with chargers, Beng Bengs provides breathing room and quality waves that are often overlooked. It's become a favorite among Mentawai regulars who know that scoring uncrowded perfection is just a short paddle away.

Thunders
type: TouristAttraction
description: Thunders earns its ominous name when solid south swells pour into the Playgrounds zone—a heavy, bowling left that detonates over shallow reef with serious intent. This is where the Mentawai experience steps up in intensity, demanding committed takeoffs and fast tube navigation. The wave jacks up dramatically on the takeoff before pitching into thick, grinding barrels that seem to thunder with each impact. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for surfers ready to match its power, Thunders delivers some of the most satisfying tubes in the island chain.

Scar Reef
type: TouristAttraction
description: Scar Reef lives up to its name with a wave that has left its mark on countless surfers—a perfect, mechanical right-hand barrel breaking over razor-sharp reef in Sumbawa. The wave peels with metronome consistency, offering flawless tube-riding opportunities, but the tradeoff is a bottom that sits terrifyingly close to the surface. Most surfers wear booties here, and even then, reef encounters are considered when, not if. The remoteness adds to both the appeal and the consequence; scoring Scar Reef uncrowded is the dream, but medical facilities are hours away.

Keramas
type: TouristAttraction
description: Keramas is Bali's most high-performance wave—a right-hand reef break on the island's black sand east coast that hosts the WSL Championship Tour and features the world's only professional-grade night surfing facility. The wave produces fast, hollow barrels and rippable walls that reward aggressive surfing, with the unique opportunity to surf under stadium lights after dark. The partnership between competitive surfing and luxury resort culture has transformed Keramas into one of the sport's most distinctive venues. When southeast swells wrap around and northwest winds blow offshore, this is Indonesian wave perfection.

Sorake Bay
type: TouristAttraction
description: Sorake Bay, commonly known as Lagundri or simply Nias, is one of Indonesia's original wave discoveries—a perfect mechanical right-hand point that produces rides of up to 300 meters when solid Indian Ocean groundswells arrive. The wave reels along a keyhole-shaped reef with such consistency that it became a pilgrim destination decades before the Mentawais were explored. The 2005 earthquake raised the reef and changed the wave's character, but Nias remains a special place where heavy barrels and world-class walls coexist. This is Indonesian surf history made manifest.

Stormrider

The shallow inside reef leaves no margin for error, but for those seeking serious Mentawai tubes away from the right-hand crowds, Stormrider offers the kind of raw barrel experience that defines Indonesian surf exploration.

Bintangs

Super Suck
type: TouristAttraction
description: Super Suck is one of Indonesia's most intense barrel rides—a lippy, narrow tube that sucks hard off an extremely shallow reef on West Sumbawa's south coast. The wave is incredibly fickle, requiring specific W-SW swell direction to wrap into the break, but when conditions align, it produces world-class hollow lefts that rank among the best barrels east of the Mentawais. Located near Maluk, the wave is strictly for expert surfers.

description: Bawa is Indonesia's answer to Hawaii's Sunset Beach—a massive right-hand barrel machine in the Hinako Islands off the coast of Nias. The wave handles enormous swells, producing thundering rights that only advanced and expert surfers should attempt. Paired with nearby Asu (a left that works on opposite wind), surfers can ride both breaks in the same day depending on wind shifts, making the Hinako Islands an incredibly versatile surf destination.

T-Land
type: TouristAttraction
description: T-Land (also known as Nembrala or Besialu) is one of Indonesia's longest left reef breaks, offering rides of 400+ meters through multiple named sections—The Point, Steeple, Magic Mountain, and Inner Tubes. Located on Rote Island, the most southerly inhabited island in Indonesia, it picks up every S-SW swell that rolls through the Indian Ocean. The wave works across all tides and handles swells up to 15 feet, making it one of the most versatile and rewarding lefts in the country.

The Peak
type: TouristAttraction
description: The Peak is a short, perfect right tube in the Krui region of South Sumatra that follows a simple formula—drop in, get barreled, repeat. The wave needs bigger swell to start working but when it does, it offers compact, intense barrel rides over shallow reef. Located among the cluster of quality breaks near Way Jambu and Ujung Bocur, it provides a right-hand option in a region dominated by lefts.

Seven Palms
type: TouristAttraction
description: Seven Palms is a quality right reef break in North Sipora that is often surfed alone, overlooked by charter boats heading to more famous nearby spots like Telescopes and Scarecrows.

  swell physics:
    explanation: Swell direction must be within the workable range AND within the spot's coastal orientation. A south-facing beach cannot receive north swells, no matter the size or period.

Reverse G-Land
type: TouristAttraction
description: Reverse G-Land is a quality long right reef/point break on the east coast of Java that effectively mirrors the famous G-Land left across the bay. The wave breaks along a similar reef structure but in the opposite direction, producing long rides with barrel sections and open walls. Difficult access and the requirement for off-season winds (November-April) keep this wave uncrowded and preserve its frontier character.
disambiguating description: 🌊 G-Land's mirror image • Long right point • Off-season secret
