Surf spot guide · Sumatra Islands, Indonesia
Long left-hand reef point with open walls, hollow inside sections, and serious southwest-swell power.
Lolok Point, also called Clarets or Bay of Plenty Lefts, is a long left-hand reef point in the Banyak Islands. The wave starts with a roll-in take-off, develops open carving walls, and becomes faster and hollower through the inside. Rides can exceed 200 metres or last 20-25 seconds, with multiple barrel sections possible on a single wave. It needs medium to large southwest swell and is best around rising to high tide, when the reef is less exposed. Competent intermediates may manage smaller conditions, but the shallow reef, speed, size, and barrels make larger surf an advanced proposition.
