krui left
Edit SpotAbout
fickle short and small but sweet and fun. only breaks about 5-10 times each dry season, really good about twice.
Didn't get bigger than head-high the whole time i was there for four months.
The right across the other side is even more fickle.
Atmosphere:
Very weird getting to know when it works. Sometimes it just doesnt happen or is small fat and sloppy even though conditions are right and it seems plenty big enough..then it turns on for an hour or two that day, then back to shit again. then an other day a smaller swell will be good here.(not tidal and not period or swell direction)
Additional Info:
short hollow barreling left a lot like bingin in bali, but thicker and not as shallow. needs lots of swell to even break. (10foot plus at ujung bocur = 2ft+ here)

It's in the middle of krui, just south of the harbour, very easy to walk or drive to, simple paddle out with a good right on the other side of the bay.
its about a half hour walk from the secret sumatra camp.
