short hollow barreling left a lot like bingin in bali, but thicker and not as shallow. needs lots of swell to even break. (10foot plus at ujung bocur = 2ft+ here)
Needs a VERY large SW swell to break, due to the coast line and in shore topography. SW swells occur June to Aug. Rest of the year the swell is mostly southerly.
Atmosphere
Very weird getting to know when it works. Sometimes it just doesnt happen or is small fat and sloppy even though conditions are right and it seems plenty big enough..then it turns on for an hour or two that day, then back to shit again. then an other day a smaller swell will be good here.(not tidal and not period or swell direction)
I have been on 5 trips to the area and getting surf everyday requires you to know when each break will be working.
General
fickle short and small but sweet and fun. only breaks about 5-10 times each dry season, really good about twice.
Didn't get bigger than head-high the whole time i was there for four months.
The right across the other side is even more fickle.
Also you had better be prepared to surf everything from 8' to 3' ... otherwise you will miss out.
Fly from Jakarta into Bandar Lampung Airport, 6.5 hr drive to Krui.
Taxi available from the airport IDR 1200000 in 2016. Krui Putra Bus IDR 125000 2016.
There are many surf camps in the area. Just check on the internet but not much other accommodation so prices are very high.
All the waves in the area are paddle out.
At Krui you can park near Triple C's cafe. Have a drink or meal to support local business.
No real surf store in the area. So you need to bring everything. Scooter hire is approx IDR 65000 a day.
Many surf camps in Krui, Tanjung Setia and Tungun Tampak near Jenny's Point and Honey Smacks. Prices range from IDR 250000 to 800000 a night per person it is very over priced for what you get.
Absolutely zero tourism in the area. No shopping, no tourist stores, no night clubs. It is a rural area dominated with rice farmers and fishermen. No developed tourism ... this is not Bali.
