Surf place in sumba island

  • Nihi Sumba Island is host to one of the world’s most coveted private waves. Known as “God’s Left,” or often “Occy’s Left” (after Australian surfer Mark Occhilupo), the wave is popular for its character. Even for the most experienced surfer it presents a challenge because it is so sensitive to different conditions: tides, size, strength, and direction. Catching a good ride isn’t as easy as it looks, but once you make the right pick, the reward is a 200m to 300m long and often thrilling ride down the line through sections of ripple walls and heaving barrels. We reserve the amount of surfers to 10 per day, adding to the special experience. The wave has been a popular one for avid, recreational, and professional surfers for decades.Novice and first-time surfers can still get their feet wet with lessons on Occy’s, depending on the swell. Calmer waters can often be found at nearby Coconut Cove, where surfers can spend half a day with breakfast or lunch and do some light surfing, then be driven back to the resort.

  • .Millers Right is a quality right-hand point that wraps around flat reef in front of a headland. Its a great option suitable intermediates and above. It throws out everything from nice little cover up to long rippable walls.
Only 3h drive from Waingapu, Miller’s Rights in Tarimbang are probably Sumba’s most ridden wave and the line-up is sometimes crowded from May to Sept. Fortunately, the wave is so long it could soak up a big crowd, and fast, hollow sectionssplit the pack into clusters between the softer shoulders that are quite accessible to improver/intermediates. Waves can be a bit funky with SE trades, but they break year-round and are usually clean early morning and during the wet season. It takes a bit of effort to get to the beautiful horseshoe bay and a further 15min walk or 20min paddle from the beach
