THE WAVES

The waves at Lovina Krui offer a diverse range of surf experiences, centred around the renowned Ujung Bocur. This 250+ meter left-hander breaks from 2 to 15 feet and is offshore during the dry season, providing consistent swells year-round. Being the most popular wave in the region, it can get crowded, however, it can deal with a lot of surfers due to its length and guests get plenty of waves out there.

Other waves in the region include: Way Jambu, or the Sumatran Pipeline, offers challenging, fast barrels for advanced surfers. Mandiri is a peaky beach break ideal for smaller swells, while Krui Left delivers perfect short tube rides. For those seeking more adventure, Jenny’s provides solid right-handers with great barrels, and Honey Smacks caters to experienced riders with its steep, heavy left barrels. There are also many more waves to be surfed!

Macaronis

Renowned worldwide, this wave boasts barrel sections and perfectly rippable walls that consistently break in the same spot. Surfers flock to Macaronis for its mechanical perfection and user-friendly setup, but beware—it's not without its challenges. Whether it's high tide or low, small swells or larger sets, Macaronis delivers waves ranging from 3 to 6 feet, catering to all surfing preferences.

Roxies

This playful and rippable right-hander excels with West to Southwest swells, offering a highly enjoyable experience for surfers of all levels. It's known for its consistency and provides a great ride.

The ideal wave size for this spot ranges from 2 to 5 feet, but when the swell increases, it transforms into a powerful, hollow right-hander.

Rags Left

This long left-hander offers thrilling barrels, especially with large SW swells. The top section of the wave is fast and hollow, while the bottom section mellows out, providing an open face for maneuvers. Typical wave sizes range from 5ft to 8ft.

Rags Right

From start to finish, this wave is a quick, barrelling right-hander point break. Typically surfed best at high tide, but it can be surfed during other tides as well. As the wave progresses, it becomes faster, more hollow, and heavier. Make sure to exit before reaching the exposed coral heads at the end.

Thunders

This left-hand point break is renowned as the top swell magnet in the island chain. Thunders provides a mix of barrels, carving sections, and multiple areas for turns. Suitable for surfers of all levels, it works across all tides and offers several take-off spots. Wave sizes usually range from 3ft to 8ft.

Thunderbox

Thunderbox is a powerful right-hand wave that emerges from deep water and breaks over a reef ledge. It offers a brief, rapid, and intensely hollow tube, making it suitable only for seasoned surfers. Due to its below-average consistency, it requires specific tide and swell conditions to work well. But when everything aligns, it's a thrilling ride! The wave typically ranges from 6ft to 8ft.

Buddhas

Even at its smallest, this wave is beginner-friendly, with a gentle take-off and a soft, forgiving wall that leads into a deep water channel. It’s an excellent location for gaining confidence or enjoying a family surf outing.

Greenbush

Greenbush is an intense, hollow left-hander that demands respect. Breaking over sharp reef, it performs best on high tides with a south to southwest swell. Strictly for advanced surfers, Greenbush can deliver the barrel of a lifetime or a serious wipeout, depending on your choices. It's also a favorite among surf photographers due to its photogenic nature. Wave sizes typically range from 4ft to 8ft.

NON SURFING ACTIVITIES

"This trip was fantastic and I would recommend to any kind of traveller. The food is by far some of the best I've ever had. Joris and Francesca make you feel like part of the family and the rest of the staff feel like your close buddies. Walk 30 seconds and you are greeted by a high quality left hander that is guaranteed to leave you stoked. Ask for a jungle trek mission if you're not into surfing and make sure to participate in the jam nights."
