Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
Krui's flagship left (Karang Nyimbor): long, steady and paddle-accessible from the beach — South Sumatra's star spot.
Surfable all year. Autumn (Sep-Nov) is the best season: powerful swells, water still mild, less crowd.
For experts only. Powerful waves, strong currents or technical bottom. Ask locally first.
Direct access from the beach, but mind the rocky bottom. Wetsuit + booties recommended, do not surf at low tide.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Ujung Bocur usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Ujung Bocur is rather recommended for advanced surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Ujung Bocur comes broadly from North-East: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Ujung Bocur, you can also check conditions at Mandiri, Way Jambu, Cimaja. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
