Long urban beach break with shifting A-frame peaks near Bengkulu city.
Bengkulu Beach is the surf listing for Pantai Panjang, a long urban sandy beach near Bengkulu city. It offers shifting sandbank peaks with lefts and rights, usually mellow to moderately punchy. A normal working range is 0.6-1.8 m, with larger swells potentially reaching double overhead, though banks may close out. Southwest is the preferred swell direction, while NE wind is offshore; a rising tide is favored, but it can work from low through high tide. The lineup is generally quiet and welcoming, while the northern and southern ends offer better surf along the beach.
