Spot guide

Surfing Lagundri Bay (Nias)

The Point at Lagundri Bay, off Sorake Beach in the south of Nias, is one of Indonesia's original and most perfect right-hand reef breaks. Swell from the Indian Ocean wraps into the horseshoe-shaped bay and peels across the reef in a fast, symmetrical barrel that holds its shape for long, clean rides.

It works best on south-westerly swells, most consistent from about April to October, and is cleanest with light northerly winds. The 2005 earthquake lifted the reef, making the wave shallower and even more barrelling than before, and it now works across a wide range of swell sizes.

Lagundri suits intermediate surfers when it is small and experienced surfers when it is big, and small hotels and losmen line Sorake Beach within walking distance of the break. Watch out for the shallow reef on the inside, sea urchins and loose boards in the crowd.
