Puri's point
Edit SpotAbout
Could have so much potential when all elements come together, be careful of reef as its sharp and for a real wave paddle out past the wall where the wave starts and surf for your life- your in Indo with great waves (HAVE FUN!)
Video of near flat day years ago:

we're talking high tide and 1-2ft faces :/
Atmosphere:
Reef is sharp, wave is fun, can get crowded as it is known now and waves can be of good quality. Nice feel in the water but still intimidating with shallow reef underneath. Saw a 6ft set roll through here once looked amazing as it sucked water off the reef and a big, big barrel was produced and this was on a mid - high tide!!
Additional Info:
I would advise staying at Puri Mas during a swell as this spot and many other points/reefs up and down the coast during a big swell will be very good. The wave starts further out then the wall that the waves breaks next to but is over very sharp coral and barrels down the line until the inside where on a big swell it shuts down and on smaller 2-3ft days just dies out. Surf on low tide for barrels galore, but try and get in and out of wave before you eat reef. High tide is better for people who like long rides and then maybe a little cover up in end section. This wave needs big swell so Deserts needs to be 10ft for here to be 4ft.
