Simeulue Surf Camp – Simeulue, North Sumatra, Indonesia

For wave hunters, Simeulue island provides multiple and consistent waves all year long and still remains as one of surfing last frontiers.

Simeulue holds around 100 km long of reef and coral surroundings, so there are plenty of unique and consistent waves to be discovered. From Dylan’s Right perfect, mechanical right hander breaking on live coral reef to The Peak, which can handle 8 feet plus and features nice wall sections, hollow barrels and fun air sections at the end – there’s a wave for every surfer.  Whilst many waves are better suited for intermediate to experienced surfers, beginners can also learn on smaller swells located within a short distance of our camp. 

Simeulue Island rhymes with uncrowded and perfect reef breaks. You will find here many options, whether you like fast, heavy and sucky barrels or long, super fun and playful walls. This island provides consistent waves all year long as it is open to a huge swell window. In short, bring plenty of sunscreen and your best boards and come join us for a wave-hunt.

Tea BagsTea Bags

It is a smoking right hander breaking on shallow reef: the Indo wave by definition, surrounded by amazing tropical landscapes. It gives long and heavy barrels and handle massive swells (10ft plus). We recommend an experienced level to go surf the scary beast when it gets big. It needs 4ft at least to do its trick. Ask us to organize a local boat to bring you to it as it is on the small island 40 min away by boat in front of the surfcamp. Booties on!

 

Thailand

This one is a long and playful left hander  breaking in deep water over live coral. It displays 200m of steady wall, holds big swells and is easy to ride. The take-off on big size can become impressive as the wave moves huge amounts of water. Almost anyone can have a crack at Thailand. It is adapted for both short and long boarders and fun for intermediate to experienced if you sit deep enough. It is accessible by local boat (5min) after a 40 min journey on scenic roads on the scooter following the island’s pristine coastline.

 

Dylan’s Left

This left hander is located 5 min away from the surf camp, on the other side of Dylan’s  point. The quality of this wave increases with its size and it will give you a super fun left reef break when you get a fully south medium swell. It is less perfect and mechanical than Dylan but still offers long and playful walls and receives more swell. It is also a good option when Dylan’s is onshore.
