Monkey Trees.

Monkey Trees is an A-frame reefbreak over dead coral in front of Batu Rundung surf resort on Simeulue's Naibos coast. The peak favours lefts, producing hollow, fast barrel sections in the 0.9-1.5m range. It acts as a reliable swell magnet, picking up S to W energy that misses neighbouring breaks. When swell pushes overhead, the left transforms into a thick slab with vertical takeoffs while the right shoulder stays more forgiving. Bigger sets tend to close out before the paddle-out channel, limiting ride length. A long jetty extending from the resort serves as the main landmark. Resort guides run boats to additional unnamed setups along 50km of surrounding coastline. Crowds fluctuate with resort occupancy rather than seasonal patterns, ranging from empty peaks to a handful of guests on the same takeoff. The right-hander Cocaine sits across the bay and handles bigger swells more cleanly, offering a natural alternative when Monkey Trees maxes out.
