ROTE ISLAND WEST TIMOR Surf information
SURFPOINTS:
T-LAND or Besiaulu which is its local name this is one of the longest waves in the world when it is working. This left hander is very surfer friendly the reef is not so sharp and the wave is more an almond shape. There are 3 take off peaks on the wave. 1 – 3 foot very fun around 150 metre long rides 4 – 6 foot perfect size with correct winds the wave can be up to 400 metres long. With big walls to carve down the line. 6 – 10 foot the wave starts to get a bit more serious, but nothing like G-land this wave is much kinder, there are some barrelling sections but it really needs the easterly winds to blow to make the wave tube. Usually T-land is known for its huge endless walls of liquid ecstasy and not to mention the long long paddle back out….Breaks on all tides. The bigger it is the better it gets
BO’A this is a right hand rocky reef (smooth) bottom. Around 100metre long rides. Better on the in coming tide. 1-3 foot wall sucky sections 4 + starts to really barrel (pits galore).
SAKUNAMON this is north of T-land it need a big swell, it is a right hander around 60 metres long ride. You can hire a boat and driver to take you there.
OESELI another left hander this is east of Nembrala needs a big swell (if T-land is over 6 foot) then this place is starting to crank. A 60 metre ride which has a nice tube section. Best on incoming tide. You can hire a driver to get there.
There are more surf points around if you are prepared to explore. Our staff will give you the goods on (NDOA Island and DO’O
Nembrala Beach is the best base area, with T-LAND 'claiming to be the best left-hand wave in Indonesia" located directly out the front. This can be surfed on all tides. With rides 200metres long. It is less crowed than G-land and longer. Another 10 great surf breaks ranging from peaky rights to barrelling lefts are close by.
OTHER SURFBREAKS:
Homebreak - a left-hander a fun left, that can handle size and picks up masses of swell..
Peanuts & Bo'a - 2 more left-handers on the mainland of Roti, not far from Nembrala. Both COOK and are way less crowded than most waves in Indo, with guys often scoring solo sessions.
N'Dau Island - (access by boat) Both the left and right-hander are fast and steep with amazing setups and rides.
Do'o Island - (access by boat) Claimed to be the longest right hander in Indonesian archipelago. Several hundred metres of perpetual lined up wall. Do'o is sheer and fast but needs the right swell for all the sections to line up.
