Super Suck
Edit SpotAbout
Pretty average wave by Indo standards, and ultra rare. Offshore in dry season trades, but strange micro climates due to the heating and cooling of the mountainous and desert coast line often cause day long onshores, even though you can see the whitecaps of the trades on the horizon. Any onshores ruin this wave completly. Very shallow, high risk, short reward.
Atmosphere:
Sumbawa, located east of lombok. People are not to friendly towards Americans on the island. Best if you charter a boat from bali. anywhere from 0 - 00 U.S.
Additional Info:
A good left hander, takes a massive swell to break, caps on the outside before sucking out on the inside reef. Short, intense and fickle.
Pull in and go: this is one of the best waves in the world in my opinion. The longest barrels I have gotten (15 sec. +) super shallow and super sharp but worth it.Big walls of water break off a boil rock on the outside of the bay and suck up into a thick and heavy left that bowls and winds down the reef for a few hundred meters. The inside section of this reef gets really shallow.
