Surf spot guide · Simeulue, Indonesia
Shifting righthander on an outer dead coral reef off Simeulue's south coast, requiring a long paddle from the harbour.
A right-breaking outer reef set roughly 500m offshore from the harbour at Alus Alus on Simeulue's southern coastline. The wave rolls across a wide field of dead coral, producing steep, bowly walls that shift around unpredictably rather than peeling along a defined line. When a solid south swell meets northerly winds, the reef lights up with performance-oriented rights offering vertical takeoffs and fast, welling sections, though flatspots interrupt the ride and the shape remains flawed compared to Simeulue's premier setups. The playing field is large, meaning the peak can move significantly between sets. The long paddle from the harbour is the main barrier to entry, and it works. Lineups sit at or near zero most sessions, making this one of the emptier options in the Alus Alus stretch. Intermediate surfers can handle the wave when it is in the 1-2m range, but overhead-plus days demand respect given the distance from shore and the exposed reef. Nearby breaks like Dylan's offer more defined waves, but Harbour Masters rewards patience with uncrowded walls and room to roam.

Virtually empty at all times. The 500m paddle from the harbour is a natural filter that keeps surfer numbers near zero even when nearby breaks are busy.
