Afulu.

Afulu, at the northern tip of Nias, breaks over an outer reef with lefts starting as easy roll-ins and building into an inside bowl over a coral shelf. Intermediates can enjoy the outside section, while the bowl demands experience. The spot sits offshore from a scenic headland surrounded by jungle and hills, offering a long, left-hand reef break that works best on SW to WSW swells. The wave features big, powerful walls with occasional barrels and tends to be less crowded than other Nias spots. Access requires a long paddle across a lagoon, with a keyhole in the reef providing an easier entry point. Surfers should be aware of hazards such as strong rips, shifting peaks, and exposure during the paddle. The area is remote with minimal development, contributing to a pure, adventurous atmosphere. On flat days, the long white sand beach nearby offers a mellow alternative.
