Surf spot guide · Sumbawa, Indonesia
Yo Yo's the Wedge is a powerful right reef break on West Sumbawa's southwest coast, known for its fast waves and less crowded sessions compared to nearby spots like The Hook.
Yo-Yo's the Wedge is a world-renowned left and right reef break in West Sumbawa, Indonesia. It is known for its fast, punchy waves that break over a shallow reef, offering long rides and hollow sections. The Wedge, a unique right-hander shaped by wave refraction off nearby cliffs and located up the reef from The Hook, is less consistent and lacks a defined channel, making navigation more challenging. It works best with a solid southwest swell and light northeast winds, producing powerful, consistent waves, especially at mid to high tide to avoid sharp coral. While less crowded than Bali, Yo-Yo's remains a popular destination among experienced surfers traveling in the region, particularly those seeking quieter sessions during the dry season. Access involves a straightforward paddle over the reef, with nearby surf resorts and charter boats providing entry. The reef can be sharp and the currents strong, so caution is advised, especially given the absence of a channel and the presence of sharp coral. Facilities are basic, but a few surf camps and warungs are nearby.
