Skill Level
- •Who it's for: Intermediate–Advanced
- •Why: The reef is shallow and the waves fast, it can catch out less experienced surfers who misjudge the take-off depth.
Hazards
- •Shallow coral reef at low tide
- •Inconsistent shape, can close out without warning
- •Boat traffic from the nearby harbour
Local Tips
- •Best surfed in the morning before the onshores arrive from the east.
- •A worthwhile detour when the Bukit Peninsula is blown out, rarely crowded.
