Surf spot guide · Simeulue, Indonesia
Long right-hander peeling over dead coral, connecting up to 400m on rare days when a solid SW swell wraps into the bay.
Dangerous Conditions
Dangerous conditions with waves up to 2.2m and energy levels reaching 2020 kJ. Peak conditions around 9:00 PM.
Extremely hazardous surf conditions. Only experienced surfers should consider entering the water. Strong currents, large waves, and powerful energy present. Warning valid until 9:00 PM.
East-facing right that breaks over a dead coral platform, producing steep, walling sections with occasional barrel opportunities. On bigger SW swells the wave peels for 200m or more, and on rare standout days the sections connect through to the inside of the bay near the fishing boats, offering rides approaching 400m. Needs a substantial SW swell to wrap around and hit the reef at the correct angle, limiting consistency, but when it turns on the walls are clean and performant with vertical takeoffs. Any westerly wind blows directly offshore, making this a solid option when Simeulue's exposed west-facing breaks are blown out. Access through a coconut grove leads to free roadside parking in front of the peak. More rights further down the reef pick up additional swell but close out quickly. The lineup sees few surfers most days, with numbers only rising when wind pushes the crowd from the island's west side.
Steep walls peeling 200 metres over dead coral when the swell wraps right.
Rarely crowded. A few surfers may show up when the west-facing spots on Simeulue are blown out, but most days you will surf alone or with a handful of others.
