Balimbing is an exposed left-hand reef and point break in Sumatra. The wave peels over dead coral and is best suited to intermediate surfers. Southwest swell and northeast offshore winds are favored. May through October offers the most reliable seasonal window. High tide provides more water over the reef, while lower tides expose rocks and make the paddle-out more technical. Access requires a difficult trek because no direct road reaches the break.
Balimbing’s dead-coral left rewards the trek with tide-sensitive walls
